IT-TRANS: IT solutions for public transport - Karlsruhe, 13-15 February 2008 13-02-2008 Introduction The fact that by 2010 more than 50% of the world’s population will live or
work in urban areas very clearly underlines the necessity for intelligent and
attractive public transport systems. There are many benefits of IT in public
transport: improved safety and security, reduced travel times, ease of payment,
integrated systems for intermodal transport, lower maintenance costs. IT-TRANS,
held 13-15 February 2008 in Karlsruhe, will be the leading special interest
conference and exhibition with a focus on intelligent public transport systems.
It will cover topics such as electronic passenger information, e-ticketing, chip
cards, safety solutions for passengers, intelligent solutions for customer
services, vehicle location systems and automatic fare collection.
Description
IT-TRANS represents a strategic commitment from global public transport
actors to ensure IT technologies and products are fully developed and exploited
to deliver a modern, efficient and attractive urban transport.
The event is born from over 15 years of successful collab-orative projects,
exhibitions, conferences and expert study. These activities, and the numerous
experts who have contributed to them, have been at the centre of exploring new
opportunities and applications for creative solutions in public transport. A
central place to bring all these possibilities together is critical if IT
inspirations are to become legit-imate products and businesses providing
customer-driven and personalised services. IT-TRANS is the forum to tackle
obstacles, identify successes and push things forward in the public transport
sector.
The fact that by 2010 more than 50% of the world‘s population will live or
work in urban areas very clearly underlines the significance of intelligent and
attractive public transport systems for sustainable mobility. This enormous
challenge cannot be managed without the application of a modern information
technology in products like contactless ticketing, real-time passenger
information or vehicle location systems, to mention just a few of the many
different high-tech developments of today.
The IT-TRANS in Karlsruhe is an ideal showcase and will become a worldwide
acknowledged centre of the IT-industry for public transport. This very focused
and specialised conference and exhibition in the heart of Europe incorporates
excellent networking and business possi- bilities for all participants on an
international level.
