Intelligent Transportation: Operationalizing IoT in Transportation

We’re entering a new era of the intersection of data and transportation. Within the next decade, the Internet of Things (IoT) will revolutionize mobility, transportation, and vehicle safety. Speed sensors, license plate readers and congestion monitors will change the flow of traffic through cities and other areas. Automated drones and installed maintenance sensors will track wear and tear on roads and bridges. Smart street devices will instantly detect slowdowns and accidents, and automatically alert emergency response teams the moment a crash happens.

This new world requires a new approach from transportation and IT leaders – new strategies, new interagency partnerships and a new framework for talent and workforce. 

Our conversation will explore a number of key topics that state and local leaders should be thinking about right now, including:

• How to manage the entire transportation IoT ecosystem – smart streets, autonomous vehicle technology, stationary sensors and much more
• How better data analytics can improve traffic flow, reduce emergency response times and save lives
• How to develop a new workforce strategy to keep up with evolving needs on data, analysis and GIS mapping
