Demonstrating why it is the world’s number one provider of ITS solutions, the Siemens stand B52 will show a comprehensive range of sustainable traffic products and intelligent systems. With a growing number of ITS research projects underway across the world, Siemens will present Smart Systems, Smart Traffic: solutions and expertise at the heart of integrated mobility and connected infrastructure.
Sales and Marketing Director, Matthew Vincent said, ‘From journey planning to better traffic flow, parking and enforcement, our traffic solutions provide ‘end-to-end’ journey efficiency. Building on our traffic management expertise, we believe system intelligence and data is fundamental to integrated mobility and we see the development of vehicle-to-infrastructure technologies as critical towards a safer world’.
At the event, Product Manager Priscilla Boyd will present ‘Intelligent Parking - Where ITS and Smart Cities unite’ in Theatre 1 on Thursday 9 June at 9:00am. The paper explores the integration of intelligent parking bay sensing technologies with traffic management systems, the impact that parking has on traffic and how traffic management can be used to mitigate those issues including future integration with connected and autonomous vehicles. Now available, the intelligent parking system will be demonstrated on the Siemens stand.
Also, Robert Sykora, Director of Innovative Technologies at Siemens will speak at a special interest session ‘Bringing Services to Users’ on Tuesday 7 June in the Bolsdale 1 Room between 11:00am and 12:30pm. The session looks at putting users at the heart of the transport network, offering tailor-made solutions based on preferences.
As cities, transport operators and mobility service providers are challenged to shape the mobility landscape for the demand of the future in an attractive, sustainable, integrated and multimodal way. Robert Sykora’s presentation will look at how new mobility services which are focused on the individual’s usage have evolved in the recent past, such as car sharing, bike sharing and ride sharing.
New technologies and intelligent traffic systems on show will include Siemens Stratos - designed to be the UK’s first cloud-hosted, fully integrated traffic control and management solution. Stratos it at the heart of further demonstrations of the Siemens’ connected & autonomous vehicle infrastructure systems expertise, including the recently announced UK CITE project, and sustainable traffic management solutions aimed at improving mobility for passengers and motorists.
