Road Operator Perspective: Our Highways Need a Digital Upgrade

Webinars

October 17, 2024 | 2:00 pm

Join us for the first webinar in a 3-part series on how Smart Road technology, through collaboration with transportation agencies and vehicle manufacturers, can address the compounding issues of safety, congestion, and funding that are facing our nation’s most trafficked roadways.

In part 1 of the series, we will dive into the Road Operator perspective on the opportunity to improve highway performance where problem statements, proven outcomes and shared incentives are the foundation for public and private industry collaboration. We will bring Smart Road technology to life by giving it a clear definition and highlighting real-world projects underway today where infrastructure technology matches the pace of vehicle technology innovation.

Part 2 of the series will explore the Road User perspective before Part 3 details how Road Operators and Road Users are collaborating together today to make Smart Roads a reality.

Let’s Transform the Future Together.

Technology evolves faster than we can imagine the future. Rapidly evolving transportation innovations are being developed and deployed that promise to entirely reshape the way our transportation network operates, facilitating vast improvements to transportation safety and overall mobility. The promise of these innovations is apparent, but the deployment and application of these technologies is not without challenges. While technology disrupts the transportation ecosystem with new innovations and ideas, government, communities, private companies, and researchers must race to catch up to and contend with ideas never thought possible. How do we accelerate change and safely embrace new technology while promoting collaboration across industry to advance shared societal goals? Through nonprofits like the Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America).

ITS America and its members have been at the center of these innovations, advocating for transformational technology to save lives, promote sustainability, and improve access to mobility.
