Intelligent Transport Systems Australia is calling for entries for the 2012 National ITS Awards. The awards, launched in 2010, recognise the achievements of the country’s ITS sector.

 

ITS Australia President and Chair of the Awards Judging Panel Brian Negus said competition for the Awards has been strong from academia and the infrastructure, transport and vehicle manufacturing industries.

 

"Entries to the National ITS Awards have reflected the leading position held by our industry on the global stage. Sophisticated major projects won the first two National Awards - the Intelligent Access Program by Transport Certification Australia in 2011 and the inaugural award was won by Transurban and VicRoads for the Melbourne M1 Freeway Upgrade," Mr Negus said.
