Parliamentary Outreach Conference on Intelligent Transport Systems Event

An overview of ITS will be provided by Neal Skelton (ITS (UK)), before high profile speakers from both academia and industry give presentations on the use and potential of ITS in a range of areas.  These will include Dr Anthony Baxendale (MIRA) and Victoria Banks (University of Southampton) on in-vehicle systems, Gordon Wakeford (Siemens AG) and Prof. Nick Hounsell (University of Southampton) on road management, Gary Umpleby (Hogia) and Prof. John Preston (University of Southampton) on railways, Geoff Clarke (AECOM) and Dr Tom Cherrett (University of Southampton) on freight transport, and Sharon Kindleysides (Kapsch) and Dr John Walker (University of Southampton) on road pricing.  The presentations on these topics will be followed by discussion sessions to allow delegates to ask questions and to share their expertise.  The final presentations of the day, from Prof. Mike McDonald (University of Southampton) and Prof. Eric Sampson (Newcastle University), will examine potential future development in ITS.  This will be followed by a drinks reception providing opportunities for networking and further informal discussions with the speakers.
