Helping Mine Operations Stay Safe and Efficient Our Safer Smarter Infrastructure team tackled the unique challenges of industrial port safety in Western Australia. NTRO experts Elliott Tang and Malcolm Mak recently conducted a road safety audit for two port operations in the Pilbara region. From assessing heavy vehicle traffic risks to integrating pedestrian movement, the team provided actionable recommendations for future safety needs.

A better tomorrow doesn’t happen by default. It takes dedication, commitment and innovative strategies to achieve it. Innovation requires governments, council leaders, research, academia, transport agencies, engineers, tech, and data specialists to come together and explore the possibilities of a prosperous future using today’s technology. We get the opportunity to drive our future in the direction we want. On land, rail, through sea, and by air – we can create a more sustainable, optimised, cost-effective, safe, and automated approach to our transport networks. Come join the conversation at the NTRO International Technical Conference where decision-makers from around the world gather to explore and discuss what’s possible. ️Conference Dates: May 7-9, 2025 📍 Location: Port Melbourne Secure your spot today 👇 https://hubs.li/Q034-gwN0

Wishing you a joyous Lunar New Year celebration! As we welcome the Year of the Wood Snake, NTRO sends warm wishes to everyone marking this special occasion. May this new year bring wisdom, growth, and new opportunities.

NTRO’s Intelligent Pavement Assessment Vehicles (iPAVEs) are busy traversing Australia and New Zealand measuring and managing road infrastructure. This week we’ve had an NTRO iPAVE in Canberra, and couldn’t resist the opportunity to snap it passing the iconic Parliament House building. From here, it’s off to Adelaide so keep an eye out for this engineering masterpiece on its travels. #iPAVE #infrastructure #measurement #NTRO

Progress isn't linear. It accelerates. In labs and trials across the world, researchers are breaking boundaries. In port terminals, new technologies are redefining efficiency. On test tracks, tomorrow's transport solutions are being refined today. In governments, decision-makers are creating the regulations now for new technology to flourish. We live in a world of constant evolution, but innovation needs momentum. It needs collaboration. It needs you. The NTRO International Technical Conference brings together the catalysts of change - the problem solvers, the innovators, the visionaries who see beyond today’s challenges. Three days. Six key topics. Accelerating the transport revolution. 🗓️ Conference Dates: May 7-9, 2025 📍 Location: Port Melbourne Register Your Spot 👇 https://hubs.li/Q034bHQR0

NTRO’s New Zealand operation is up and running, with our SHARP program alongside NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, and our latest Intelligent Pavement Assessment Vehicle (iPAVE 4) now on deck in New Zealand to measure the State Highway Network. We’ve now set up a New Zealand LinkedIn page so you can keep up to date with all NTRO’s news from NZ, including the progress of iPAVE 4.   Follow NTRO NZ on LinkedIn here 👉https://lnkd.in/gUTy2Jhb #NTRO #NewZealand #StateHighways #iPAVE #iPAVE4
