CCS and Intelligent Transport Society United Kingdom announce partnership
ITS (UK) is a not-for-profit membership association working to bring the benefits that Intelligent Transport Systems can offer to the UK while expanding the market. Some of the benefits include economic efficiency, transport safety, and environmental benefits.
Intelligent Transport Systems are a combination of information technology and telecommunications, allowing the provision of online information in all areas of public and private administration. For example, they can improve the efficiency of transport through the use of electronic systems to improve traffic control and enforcement of traffic regulations or through electronic ticketing (for example Smartcards) to enable faster, easier travel by public transport.
The work that ITS (UK) does aligns with CCS’ Traffic Management Technology 2 framework and work currently being undertaken to develop its replacement.
ITS (UK) Secretary General Jennie Martin said,
By working with CCS, ITS (UK) can further support our remit to help private and public sector transport technology-related members facilitate excellent networking, knowledge sharing and PR opportunities. Transport Technology can be difficult to understand and therefore people shy away from it. CCS’s assistance will mean public sector organisations can have greater confidence when using ITS solutions, and they will discover that using our members’ technology delivers results quicker, cheaper and more effectively than traditional infrastructure projects alone.
