around the world to overcome
transportation challenges and shape
new mobility landscapes.
Some of the key participants in
the 26th ITSWC will help to showcase
the city state’s groundbreaking
technologies such as its nascent
Global Navigation Satellite System
(GNSS) enabled congestion charge
and world-class intelligent transport
control center.
Singapore is also well
positioned to lead and
facilitate discussions on
cybersecurity and data
privacy as the country’s
Smart Nation drive has seen
many important initiatives
such as the Cybersecurity Act
2018, which will help to inform
discussions on how to protect ITS
infrastructure against cyberattacks.

Triplesign is a Swedish
producer of prismatic
VMS. The system is much
more environmentally friendly
and sustainable than digital
VMS due to extreme low power
consumption – 1.5W solutions
are available. This represents a
70-90% cost saving compared
to LED VMS installation.
Triplesign can even offer
complete solar VMS standalone
systems, which not only save
good ITSWC host city. “Singapore is
a nation state, where policy decisions
are quick and citizens are keen on
new technologies that will enable
new ways of doing business and
enhance their lifestyles,” he says. “It
has very systematic approaches in
both technology validation and
policy implementation that are being
used to deploy epoch-making ITS
systems, such as new generation
satellite-based ERP (electronic road
pricing), automated driving and
Mobility as a Service.”
Space age
With the advancement technology,
Singapore is now developing its
much anticipated GNSS ERP system,
money on power, but also are
very easy to install, needing no
excavation. The VMS system
only has to be fixed at the side
of the road and it is ready.
A further benefit is that
messages are reliably displayed
even in the event of a power cut.
Important applications
include tunnels, bridges,
toll stations and traffic
management vehicles and
portable traffic signs for road
