A wise man (Phil Tarnoff, one of the founding fathers of the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) sector in the US, in fact) once said that the main issue holding back the widespread implementation of ITS was that it was made all the harder by the notion that we’re driving 21st century cars on what are essentially 19th century roads. He was generalising, of course, but it was an incredibly valid point. The sixth instalment of Intertraffic's webinar series moderated by ITS UK’s Paul Hutton, picked up on Tarnoff’s thread: Connected Road Users Need Connected Road Networks. You simply cannot have one without the other but how do we go about making that a reality?
The three speakers of Navtech Radar, Monotch and Austriatech gave highly engaging insights into how their organisations were setting about the task of connecting those connected road users with the roads they are using.
