Looking to the future
Singapore’s ITS deployment is
impressive, but there is more planned
for the future. For example, Smart
Mobility 2030 is Singapore’s ITS
strategic plan aimed at enhancing
travel experiences. Jointly developed
by the Land Transport Authority
(LTA) and ITSS, Smart Mobility 2030
outlines the broad strategies
that are essential for the
successful implementation
of ITS initiatives and
identifies the key focal areas
to meet challenges.
Looking even further
ahead, Singapore has a Land
Transport Master Plan 2040.
This envisions a transport
system that is convenient, wellconnected
and fast. It aims to allow
commuters to reach the nearest
neighborhood center within 20
minutes, and spend no more than 45
minutes to complete most peakperiod
commutes.
To achieve this, the plan is for the
city to go truly multimodal, by
connecting more places by train;
enabling autonomous on-demand
services; creating more cycling paths;
developing more integrated transport
hubs; providing an inclusive land
transport system with more barrierfree
journeys; enhancing access; and
enabling safer and healthier journeys
with cleaner energy fleets and new
safety technology.

Attention is shifting from
technology to societal issues,
such as regulation, safety assurance,
acceptance and behaviors of
general public
Hajime Amano, secretary general, ITS Asia-Pacific
At the congress
ITSWC delegates and participants
can look forward to a robust line-up
of technology demonstrations,
technical tours, a high-level policy
round table, plenary and congress
sessions, and a strong line-up of
exhibitors; all while discovering what
Singapore has to offer as a leader in
the field of ITS, as well as learning
more about its people, places and
culture. Indeed, public engagement
is a key focus for Hajime Amano.
“Attention is shifting from
technology to societal issues,” he
says, “such as regulation, safety
assurance, acceptance and behaviors
of general public.”
The ITSWC is a forum where great
strides towards more meaningful
engagement can be achieved. As
Andrew Chow says: “We look
forward to forging new partnerships
and creating unique opportunities to
meet the evolving demands of
mobility and shape new mobility
landscapes together.”
