Key to their visit to ARRB was a knowledge sharing session on Road Network Operations and Intelligent Transport Systems, led by ARRB's Ian Espada.
Speakers and presenters included Austroads' Natalie Lockwood and John Wall, VicRoads' Sameem Moslih and Jacques Ehrlich from IFFSTAR in France.
Issues such as improving capacity, reliability, safety, energy savings, use of new traffic technologies and cost-effective applications via use of ITS were among the topics discussed, as well as investigating low cost ITS applications and big data in road transport.
