Executive Session

Intelligent Infrastructure, Moving To A Larger Scale

There is convincing evidence that intelligent infrastructure delivers crucial transportation benefits including increased safety, improved efficiency and enhance user experience. This session explores the question about whether it is time to step up the scale of investments and intelligent infrastructure. Having provided proof based on initial experience, are we now constraining the full value that can be achieved from intelligent infrastructure by taking an incremental approach, rather than large scale investments? This session will address the advantages of taking a “moon-shot” approach to intelligent infrastructure deployment using large-scale coordinated investments, focused on the achievement of bold goals. This will include a discussion on the need for critical mass and a desire to create outcomes and impacts that are of national and international significance.

Executive Session

Decarbonization in Public Transport

While electrification and the shift toward alternate fuels in the transport industry are being touted as a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we recognize that the use of alternate fuels may not completely address other issues that significantly impact mobility. The picture that many transport professionals paint regarding electrification is that if more personal vehicles are electrified, that alone will not solve our most serious transport problems including congestion. However, electrification and the use of alternate fuels can make a positive impact on the environment. This, in conjunction with an increase in the use of shared mobility, can improve life in cities. Also, if electrification and the use of alternate fuels are extended to vehicle fleets, such as those operated by public transport and other municipal agencies, the result can be even better for urban mobility. This session will explore decarbonizing public transport fleets and incentivizing decarbonization through innovative ITS tools like mobility as a service (MaaS).

Panel Session

Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Improve Operations and Security of Our Transportation System

Operations of transportation systems creates extremely large sets of data. Trying to interpret that data is very difficult and we should be moving to Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to analyze and reduce the data to a quantity that can be understood by an operator. AI systems excel at identifying patterns and trends that could be exploited to improve operations. As connected vehicles start to proliferate the market, techniques to merge the terrestrial system data with the vehicle data will be critical to long term operational success. This session would focus on technique being applied in different regions of the world.

Technical Paper Presentation

PTV Flows: A Scalable Data-Driven Predictive Traffic Management Solution

PTV Flows isthe next generation of vehicular traffic management solutions, a cloud-based traffic management software that offers a cost-effective solution incorporating many principles and technologies in an easily deployable solution. By embedding standard maps and incorporating automatically floating car data from major providers, this platform allows clients to effortlessly monitor and predict traffic in real time; utilizing a machine learning-based speed forecast that updates weekly, it provides key performance indicators that visualize problems and can automatically detect or anticipate unexpected congestion on specific roads, minimizing human intervention and simplifying the work of traffic operators. The resulting predictive warnings are issued via email to promote stakeholders’ communication and via Twitter to spread information to the citizens.

With a self-updating, cost-effective, real-time solution as a service for cities of all sizes and an efficient and self-learning, method for monitoring and controlling unexpected or unusual congestion, this tool represents a significant innovation in the field of traffic management, particularly for smaller cities or emerging countries.

Special Interest Session

How Microsimulation Can Help to Foresee and Optimize the Impact of CAV on Urban Traffic

Microscopic simulation reflects the state of the art approach to create digital twins of specific traffic situation or in general traffic areas. It contains information about the traffic network, the control through signals etc. and the traffic participants and their behavior and interaction. In such a simulation the effect of different behaviors of automated vehicles as well as effects of their communication among each other or with a connected infrastructure can be modeled. This enables for a detailed evaluation of the impact of different technologies and strategies in various categories like traffic flow, environmental impact, road safety etc. The session brings together experts from Asia, Europe and the United Stated to share an international perspective. It combines the domains of automotive development, traffic planning as well as advanced traffic infrastructures
