The World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) facilitates and influences global cross-talk of technologies and services towards making the full deployment of intelligent transport systems a smart and sustainable reality. Surging growth in international demand will ensure that the 23rd World Congress in Melbourne will be the largest gathering of ITS researchers, developers and users in the Asia Pacific region for three years.

The 2016 theme will be to showcase the contribution of ITS to the delivery of liveable cities and communities. Melbourne is the perfect venue to demonstrate this theme, having been named the World’s Most Liveable City five times in the last decade. Livability is enhanced by each of the key areas of ITS contribution, in the delivery of safe transport operations, the support of efficient and productive networks and the improvement of environmental outcomes. We will demonstrate Australian capabilities in each of these areas and invite our ITS colleagues from across the globe to share their advances in delivering desirable society outcomes for the community.
