The introduction of the Automated Vehicles Bill by the UK Parliament in February 2024 marks a pivotal moment for local authorities and communities across the country. This Bill is not just about bringing automated vehicles onto our roads; it's about reimagining our urban landscapes, enhancing road safety, and pushing the boundaries of digital infrastructure. There is an urgency for all local authorities —rural and urban alike—to embrace technological advancements and future-proof their infrastructure. 🚦 From the necessity of 5G and full fibre networks to the undeniable benefits of connected traffic systems, the bill sets forth a comprehensive framework that demands immediate action and collaboration among local authorities. It's a call to action that cannot be ignored. But what does this mean for local authorities? How can they navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by this transformative legislation? 🔍 Our latest article, unpacks the Automated Vehicles Bill's implications and explores the proactive steps local authorities must take to ensure their communities remain competitive, safe, and efficient in the era of automated vehicles. This is more than just policy; it's the roadmap to a smarter, safer, and more connected future. #AutomatedVehiclesBill #SmartCities #LocalAuthorities #DigitalTransformation #TransportInnovation #PublicSafety #5G #V2I #V2V #FutureOfTransport

Here's your vacation reading! 📚 In his latest interview with Intertraffic World, CTO Alfredo Escriba Gallego emphasizes the need for a seamless approach instead of fragmented solutions in the development of connected intelligent transportation systems (C-ITS) and V2X technology. He emphasizes the importance of involving the entire ecosystem, from infrastructure to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), to make significant progress in increasing V2X coverage. Kapsch is actively involved in projects such as equipping mobile barriers on German highways with ITS Roadside Stations to increase safety and reduce accidents in construction zones. We are also carrying out projects in Canada and Australia, which indicates that the global market is becoming increasingly active.

The explosion of new transit #technology options can be difficult to keep up with for even the best-resourced transit agencies. For small-urban and rural operators 🚌, their state Department of Transportation might be able to help. In this webinar the Michigan DOT will share their experience helping agencies understand how they can work together and use resources across the state to support their technology goals. https://lnkd.in/g_a_q4ha

Great case study here on the transformation of a traditional IT function into a Digital Services team able to play its role at the heart of a modern infrastructure organisation

I recently pointed out mass transit as a prime example of digitalization. That’s because so many aspects of a mass transit system are (or should be) digitalized in some way, from ticketing, CCTV and overall rider experience to signal transmission and overall network management. And when I say “should be,” there’s good reason. As our Belden colleague Pradeep.S. Kumar outlined in a recent article, there is currently a $105 billion backlog in repair needs for mass transit in the U.S. alone. This repair process will lead to modernizing end-to-end services and connectivity, upgrading existing technologies and deploying new digitalized solutions. Think facial recognition, sensors to track everything from air quality to wheel speed, mobile apps and geolocation services for safety and wayfinding. It truly is a digitalized experience, and Belden is playing a key role in developing the network and data solutions for mass transit systems around the world.
