Despite bringing you daily podcasts last week thanks to our sponsors SWARCO and AGD Systems, we still couldn't fit in everything we gathered, so in this bonus podcast we talk about road safety, companies coming together and artificial intelligence.Subscribe to Highways Voices free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts or Pocket Casts and never miss an episode!The Australian company Acusensus has proved it's not just speed that can be enforced by technology on our roads thanks to its technology to spot people using their hand-held phones whilst driving, and those who aren't wearing a seatbelt. We catch up with founder and Managing Director Alexander Jannink, before talking to smartmicro CEO Ralph Mende about the company's new products and its acquisition of a British company.A new name to us since the last Intertraffic is Umovity, a partnering of American signals technology company Econolite, and the well known PTV Group. VP, Engineering, Sunny Chakravarty explains how, by better combining hardware, software and now transport modelling, intersections can become safer and more efficient.Many, many companies talked AI across Intertraffic, so McKinsey's expert in the subject, Alberto Chiulli, cuts through the hype before we close the programme with the CEO of Yunex Traffic, John Newhard, who hosted a panel session at Intertraffic Amsterdam 2024 looking at AI, the Cloud and Mobility, and how new technologies and computing could affect our industry. He reflects on what was discussed.
This is a recording of an excellent PTV-led debate about the future of mobility and the use of data to support it, reducing the need for infrastructure building. The panel debate took place at the ITS World Congress in Singapore and was chaired by SMART Highways editor Paul Hutton. It featured discussion on better traffic management, budget constraints, politicians' love of "turning dirt" rather than cheaper, quicker, more efficient technology solutions, and the "rush to be second". The debate, called "Orchestrating mobility in Smart Cities" focused on cities' orchestration of transport modes to deal with the most pressing mobility challenges: congestion, environmental impact and road safety. It started with a presentation about PTV Optima before a debate involving: Omid Ejtemai, PTV Group Chong Lee, Head of Urban Solutions, Volkswagen AG Majid Sarvi, Head of Transport Engineering, University of Melbourne Martin Huber, Head of BWVI, Hamburg Randy Iwasaki, Executive Director at Contra Costa Transportation Authority Abbas Mohaddes, CEO of Econolite and CAVita
