More than 700 delegates convened over three days at the International Convention Centre Sydney for the annual ITS Australia Summit 2024, the nation’s largest industry led transport technology event.

Over 200 speakers across 40 sessions delivered presentations and participated in lively panel discussions that examined the core themes of safety, sustainability, and inclusivity to deliver a better transport future and support vibrant communities.

ITS Australia President Silje Troseth reflected on the importance of the annual Summit, which allows the broad industry to come together and showcase technology-led solutions to the country’s major transport challenges.

“Once again, Summit provided a forum for leaders across our broad industry to gather, bringing fresh ideas and showcasing the latest research, programs, and technology that can contribute to solving longstanding and emerging transportation challenges,” said Ms Troseth.

“In terms of road safety, for example, we know that in recent years, our national road toll has= been moving in the wrong direction. At this year’s Summit, we saw a range of solutions, such as the latest development in C-ITS, that will make vehicles on our roads far safer.”

“Another impressive focus this year was inclusivity, with presentations demonstrating an intelligent transport future designed for everyone in our community, regardless of their specific needs. As a sector we are working hard to reduce transport disadvantage in both urban and rural Australia through the application of the latest technology.”

As the host state partner for Summit 2024, the New South Wales Government, through Transport for NSW, was front and centre, highlighting the technology operating on the State’s roads through a series of presentations across the program.

Beyond the Summit program, delegates witnessed the most advanced technology solutions in operation and development in Sydney, which are soon to be deployed on the State’s roads.
