Due to our last issue going
to press in mid October, right
before the ITS World Congress,
this is this is the first
opportunity I have had to write
about the event that happened
in Singapore. Anyone who was
there will remember how well attended it was
and how the new technologies on show and
demonstrations that took place raised the bar
for intelligent transportation.
Beyond the headline-grabbing flight of the
Volocopter, a host of new ITS technologies were
demonstrated and existing concepts developed,
one of which was Mobility as a Service. A Global
Forum was held on the subject, attended, of
course, by the ‘father of MaaS’ Sampo Hietanen.
I managed to grab the quick chat with him
that forms part of our Mircomobility and
MaaS feature. It was great to see him again,
and to hear him respond so positively to my
challenging question of whether private car
ownership can be compatible with MaaS. You
can read his answer in our feature, which begins
on page 24.
The other major trend that got me excited
in Singapore was the whole notion of lidar
on infrastructure, the subject of our cover
feature (p16). A year ago in Copenhagen
lidar was a sensor for autonomous vehicles
and the idea of putting such technology on
lampposts was unheard of. But in October
not only were Siemens Mobility testing the
concept at CETRAN, just a few miles from the
Suntec Center, where the congress was held,
technology providers such as Continental and
Pioneer were actively developing the hardware
for infrastructure deployment. Could it be that
such advances are a taste of the future of traffic
management systems? Certainly the case for
using such sensors to support safer autonomous
vehicle operation is irresistible. I can’t wait to see
what LA 2020 brings!
