The New Infrastructure: Physical + Digital Helps Enable Positive Citizen Outcomes

Presented by ITSA and Intel — 2022 Digital Education Series

Webinars

November 9, 2022 | 2:00 pm ET

Join us Wednesday, November 9 from 2:00pm to 3:30pm ET for a virtual summit with transportation leaders on the convergence of Physical + Digital Infrastructure.

With physical and digital worlds becoming permanently intertwined, investment in this New Infrastructure can generate profound impacts for citizens across states, counties, and municipalities. Design and development require a true shift in thinking about how citizens and physical infrastructure will interact and how they will be integrated. Our approach should strive for much more than just upgrading aging infrastructure; it should look forward to a unified, intelligent system of systems that incorporates new physical and digital infrastructure and supports citizens in new and novel ways.

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify and discuss the highest impact digital solutions that will support safe streets, economic growth, climate and equity goals.
2. Understand State DOT’s needs and roadblocks to implement “New Infrastructure” (physical and digital solutions).
3. Discuss and align upon follow up actions to deliver tangible outcomes.

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.
