Got Smarts?

Ian White (Urban Mapping, Inc)

ITS gives rise to the promise of driverless automobiles, commuter trains that effortlessly allow riders to transfer to buses, smart in-car navigation devices that reroute around trouble spots, parking garages that spur demand by using variable-rate pricing, fleet management tools designed to efficiently route hybrid lorries and the list goes on.

The promise is exciting and the opportunities are real, but few outside of the world of public infrastructure have any understanding about how this will impact the everyday lives of people.

In this talk, Ian White will share past stories of success (and failure), attempt to explain the byzantine (and bureaucratic) world of ITS financing, how hackers and startups can tap into a rich pool of existing data and collaborate with the public sector to help realize the dreams of smart travel.
