NATIONAL ITS STRATEGY A strategy for ITS in Australia Read full document Infrastructure Australia Report: http://www.infrastructureaustralia.gov.au/publications.aspx At a glance, ITS references include: - a call for national development of Managed Motorways - references to congestion reduction with approaches such as advanced traffic signal management - a reinforcement of Henry Tax Review approaches for road-user pricing with a call to have funds raised in any future schemes directed to transport initiatives (there is also a reference to funds from tolling to be used is a similar way, but I think this is a confusion of terms).

Announcing the new appointment, Adam Game, Chief Executive Officer, Intelematics Australia, said, “Danny brings a wealth of knowledge to the company and his appointment will play a critical role in delivering an improved end-user experience, and driving new business development opportunities”. Danny most recently held the position of General Manager, Business Development, for traffic content aggregator, Sentinel Content. Prior to that role he was part of the senior management team at ITIS Holdings in the UK following the sale of the TMC and data broadcast activity of his company, Communications & Measurement Technologies (C&MT), to ITIS in 2000. Between 2003 and 2008 Danny served as Chairman of the TMC Forum, and its successor the Traveller Information Services Association (TISA), the key industry standards bodies in the traffic and traveller information systems sector. Danny will be based at the company’s headquarters in Melbourne. About TMC Forum The TMC Forum was established under the auspices of the European Commission to develop standards for digital traffic information, resulting in the widespread adoption of the RDS-TMC standard as adopted by nearly all automotive and GPS brands. About TISA TISA, which is the successor to the TMC forum, now also drives the standardisation role for traffic information standards over digital radio and other high bandwidth bearers. About ITIS Holdings ITIS Holdings operates the iTMC service, the UK’s leading RDS-TMC traffic service. Discussion Paper by Max Lay: The Governance, Planning and Funding of Australian Roads National Electronic Tolling Industry Forum 2010 Draft National ITS Strategy A draft of a proposed National Strategy on Intelligent Transport Systems has been developed by ITS Australia from outcomes of the Australian ITS Summit held in 2009. The Summit and the development of this draft are landmark events for ITS Australia and for strengthening the relevance of ITS to Australia’s transport future. Draft for Discussion One Million Transactions for EastLink - MEDIA RELEASE ARRB Group Media Release -International expert appointed as Chief Scientist at ARRB Group Australia plans to allocate 5.9Ghz for ITS A proposal to adopt a wireless frequency that will standardise a national ITS in Australia is being supported by the government. As part of an upcoming radio spectrum carve-up, the international 5.9ghz frequency is planned to be reserved for intelligent transport, said the Australian Communications & Media Authority. Regardless of country of origin, imported vehicles with ITS connectivity embedded will thus be compatible with Australia’s ITS. The country's alignment with a global ITS standard is expected to save billions of Australian dollars in technology conversion for the local transport industry.
