LogicaCMG showcases innovative Intelligent Transport Systems at its World Congress 2007
LogicaCMG, one of Europe’s leading IT and business services companies, will showcase its innovation and deployment of large scale intelligent transport systems (ITS), at the 14th ITS World Congress in Beijing, China, 9th – 13th October, 2007.
With the theme of "ITS for a better life", this year’s Congress will involve delegates and experts from governments, organisations and enterprises from around the world. The aim of the Congress is to demonstrate the latest policy and thinking on ITS, including state-of-the-art equipment, advanced technology solutions, successful case studies and future applications and prospects for ITS.
LogicaCMG offers a wide range of leading-edge services and solutions in the ITS arena, from road pricing and traffic management to environmental management. During the event, LogicaCMG representatives Cees de Wijs (Group ITS Director), David Hytch (Head of the UK ITS Practice) and Lars Ake Asplund (Senior ITS Consultant) will present special sessions on a variety of topics including Global Navigation Satellite Systems, Ertico’s programme on Road Charging Interoperability (RCI), Co-operative Vehicle Information Systems, Smartcards and new solutions for Traffic Information Exchange. LogicaCMG will be present at the ITS UK stand (11011) and at the ITS Sweden stand (11018).
Cees de Wijs, Group Director Intelligent Transport Systems at LogicaCMG, said: "Transport is the fastest growing source of CO2 emissions. With this in mind it is imperative that innovative deployment of IT in the transport sector should go beyong cost containment and be about fundamental value creation and a sustainable mobility. LogicaCMG is committed to playing its part in building intelligent transport systems for a better life."
ITS experts from LogicaCMG will be available throughout the event in Beijing to highlight and discuss the ITS solutions the company has to offer. These include: • Road pricing – real time information to overcome congestion and move to a usage-based revenue/taxation model • Galileo location based services, large-scale billing/payment clearing systems and mobile messaging • Mobile traffic services – accurate real time and historic traffic information to enable advanced traffic management and long-term planning • In-vehicle systems – accelerating the rapid evolution from a mechanical to an electronic vehicle • Mobile and smart ticketing – innovative and cost-effective solutions for ticket sales, distribution and access control. • Environmental management systems to enable all modes of transport to meet their obligations under the wide variety of regulations.
Cees de Wijs comments: "Transportation now accounts for 40 per cent of the total use of energy in the world and ITS technology is now at a stage of maturity where it can be applied to create a sustainable infrastructure, through the sharing of mobile data that optimises traffic flow and asset use. We have a long term and thorough commitment to the transport sector and are constantly working on new ideas with our clients, academia and research bodies to ensure the optimum use of technology solutions that will lead to a sustainable global infrastructure."
LogicaCMG works with private and public sector organisations to develop and manage modern transport infrastructures through the intelligent use of technology. The company develops and delivers real-time traffic information services, large scale access control and ticketing services for public transport and infrastructure monitoring systems in rail and next generation road-pricing services.
