Mr. Daniel Navarro Managing Director, Swarco Shanghai Speakers Daniel has been working in the ITS sector for almost 20 years, having various leading positions ranging from project management, business development and management for two famous international ITS companies: Telvent and Swarco. He is currently working with Swarco, one of his responsibly at Swarco is the business development of the ASEAN region. Mr. Navarro has many year experiences on urban and interurban traffic management solutions. He is also very familiar with the Asian market, especially China where he has been working more than 15 years. Swarco is an international traffic technology group providing the complete range of products, systems, services and solutions for road safety and intelligent traffic management. With almost five decades of experience in the industry, the corporation supports the growing mobility needs of society with turnkey systems and solutions in road marking, urban and interurban traffic control, parking, public transport, infomobility and street lighting. The topic will be a brief description of Swarco s Urban Traffic Management solutions and specially the Roadworks and Hazard Warning VMS Trailer For more information of Smart Street Lighting and emobility, please see: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6334468018596302848 Mr. Marcus ULLMANN AustriaTech, Future of Mobility The Austrian Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology (bmvit) Mr. Ullmann is also responsible for the European Strategy on Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS), a milestone initiative towards cooperative, connected and automated mobility. In many respects today's vehicles are already connected devices. However, in the very near future they will also interact directly with each other and with the road infrastructure. This interaction is the domain of Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C- ITS), which will allow road users and traffic managers to share information and use it to
coordinate their actions. This cooperative element enabled by digital connectivity between vehicles and between vehicles and transport infrastructure is expected to significantly improve road safety, traffic efficiency and comfort of driving, by helping the driver to take the right decisions and adapt to the traffic situation. The transformation processes in mobility make it necessary to respond actively and at the same time flexibly to new developments. The requirements and conditions in order to make traffic safe, efficient and environmentally friendly are complex and the needs of different target groups are varied. Furthermore, it is necessary to make positive use of current transformation aspects (digitalisation, decarbonisation, service orientation and new safety requirements) for the design of our mobility system. AustriaTech consciously and actively participates in shaping the future of mobility for the benefit of everyone. It requires a high degree of coordination and synergies between policy makers, the industry, businesses and research to ensure a responsible use of the resources available. The use of new technologies and intelligent transport systems contributes significantly to improving traffic management, supporting individual mobility decisions and making our mobility system environmentally friendly.
