The themes for the Transport Technology Forum’s Autumn Update on 6 November have been set, focussed on updating local authorities and suppliers with the latest on the emerging Connected Vehicle Services framework and wider government policy.

The one-day event in Birmingham will hear from senior members of the Department for Transport, looking at Connected Services, Digital Traffic Regulation Orders, and roads infrastructure. It will also discuss the TTF’s role in the industry in the light of the recent new contract award to the Local Council Roads Innovation Group to run the TTF for a further three years.

There’ll also be discussions around revamped TTF Working Groups, the Manual for Smart Streets and examples of local authority innovation, plus guests from ERTICO – ITS Europe and ITS Ireland. The ITS World Congress 2027 in Birmingham, which by then will be less than two years away, will also be highlighted with details of how and why both the public and private sector should get involved.

The event is sponsored by TRL and supported by exhibitors Causeway Technologies, KL Systems, Mobile VMS, Nira Dynamics, RTEM, Starling Technologies, Brightly Software and Simplifai Systems.

“The Autumn Update has cemented itself as a must-attend event to enable the Department for Transport to interact with local authorities and the supply chain,” commented LCRIG Managing Director Kerry Winstanley. “Our unique fully-funded model, where private sector support covers the cost of public sector attendance means we will again be able to welcome around 100 council and combined authority representatives to join us.”

The Transport Technology Autumn Update takes place on Thursday 6 November at the IET, Austin Court, Birmingham.
