It will conclude with a reception event at Brisbane City Hall with keynote speakers.

For half of the day, there will be two separate options to choose from.

The traffic management option will include a bus trip around the Brisbane motorway network (Legacy Way, Ipswich Motorway, Centenary Motorway and the Gateway Motorway/Bridge) to see in action the technologies used to actively manage traffic and enable efficient, safe and informed journeys. There will be a demonstration of emergency vehicle priority technology that has received five industry awards (including a 2015 International ITS Congress Hall of Fame award and 2016 Australian Road Safety Award) and is currently being rolled out across the state.
The public transport option will provide a tour of state-of-the-art intermodal facilities at the Roma Street Station bus-rail interchange and the new rail control centre. Delegates will be shown real-time traveller information services and systems, and electronic payment technologies.

During the tour, participants will have access to local ITS experts and will gain an understanding of how ITS is facilitating improved journey experiences for customers across all modes of transport in Queensland.

Local ITS experts will also be available on the following day for one-to-one meetings to discuss your transport challenges and to share their knowledge and experience.
