TrafficInfraTech Magazine Linking People Places & Progress
“There is necessity of topical sessions such as Tolling, as there is lack of awareness among people”; “The conference sessions were quite educative and informative”; “The sessions were quite interesting for officers and all the stakeholders. The expo also gave us an exposure to international trends.”
Such was the impression of the three-day Conference on ‘Mobility: Smart Today, Smarter Tomorrow’ at the TrafficInfraTech Expo, Parking InfraTech Expo and Smart Mobility Expo. Topics included: India’s Future Mobility plan, Next level of connectivity, Parking Management, Trends in Tolling, EV eco system, and Collaboration in Public Transport.
There were workshops on Crash Investigations and IT solutions for Traffic Violations and Automated Licensing Testing in India. A special session on ‘Smart Cities and Mobility’ explored how Smart cities must deliver effective smart mobility solutions while encouraging innovation, facilitating a collaborative ecosystem, and meeting sustainability goals.
