Round Table on how ITS is developing for new challengesSince the establishment of ITSSA in 2001, we have experienced ongoing changes in what we defined as “Intelligent Transport Systems” This change, however, is a never-ending process and requires some collective review and re-affirmation of what we are doing, where are we going as an industry and what we ought to do to prepare for the emerging future. ITS as an enabler for smart mobility has to cope with all the new and exciting opportunities created by the Fourth Industrial Revolution such as 5G, Big Data, AI and many more. At the same time the Covid pandemic (and further waves still lurking down the road) has slashed public transport ridership, changed what we knew and planned around origin and destination with the changing nature and work and remote and hybrid work models. It also has to address existential challenges such as global warming and climate change through the greening of transport and congestion mitigation and reducing the exceptionally high number of road deaths. How will 5G, IoT, Big Data, AI and yet to be defined NextGen innovations feature in this? Please join us in an ITSSA Round Table to explore this issue. ITSSA Past President Mike van Tonder (click here for short bio of Mike) will do a brief introduction followed by the member discussion. Date: Tuesday 23 November 2021
Date: 15:00 – 16:00
Platform: TEAMS

The Devil is in the Detail – Webinar on AartoThe Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences Act, 1998 is an act of the Parliament of South Africa which introduces a points demerit system for violations of traffic law. It is managed by the Road Traffic Management Corporation. While there is great value in the idea behind Aarto as tool to promote road, the devil is in the detail. You are cordially invited to an ITSSA Webinar by Adv Neil Louwrens of TMT and well-known expert in e-Law Enforcement, discussing Aarto from an ITS perspective and what the implications are. Attendance is free, but registration is essential. Date: Tuesday 17 November Time: 15:00 |

Understanding the post-Covid transport experience in Johannesburg GoMetro has been tasked by the City of Johannesburg to understand the employer experience post-COVID as the City tries to keep Rea Vaya operating and project demand going forward.
We are trying to understand how employers requirements have changed in the JHB area in three important ways – business relocation/closure of offices (drop in demand to travel), job cuts (drop in demand to travel), WFH (drop in demand to travel). Our findings will feed into determining what the current and future passenger demand in public transport in Johannesburg is and will be.
It will take 10 min to fill out – if you are an employer and have an office in Johannesburg, please fill this out.
I would really appreciate your participation in this survey. We have a real path to change policy and change the way transport is organized in SA cities – but I really need the private sector perspective.
