ITS (UK) has met with members from across Scotland as it joined the Road Expo Scotland trade show in Glasgow.

The Intelligent Transport Systems industry association took a prominent exhibition stand at the two-day event alongside eight members who also exhibited.  These were event partner Transport Scotland, Executive Members Balfour Beatty, Gaist, SRL and WSP and Members Coeval, Kier Highways, Vaisala and Yunex Traffic.

Road Expo Scotland brings together transport and infrastructure leaders to network, share best practice and build effective relationships with new and existing suppliers. As well as Transport Scotland, suppliers and Scottish Councils.

“Scotland has a fantastic range of opportunities for intelligent transport, with a growing programme of work led by Transport Scotland and the local authorities,” commented ITS (UK) Chief Executive Max Sugarman.  “Attending Road Expo Scotland early into my role has allowed me to meet Members and get a real handle on all the ITS innovations in Scotland.  We also had the chance for Members in Scotland to say farewell to my predecessor Jennie Martin ahead of her retirement in the New Year.”

ITS (UK) held an open forum session in the WSP Theatre on Tuesday 29 November, where Secretary General Jennie Martin participated in a lively debate around the use of data.
