Review: ITS Copenhagen 2018

From 17 to 21 September 2018, the ITS World Congress took place in Copenhagen, bringing together stakeholders in the field of intelligent transport systems from all over the world. The 5-day event focused on talks and panel discussions about transport and mobility. In addition, exhibitors presented current trends in intelligent transport systems.

FusionSystems was also represented in Copenhagen as one of the exhibitors at the joint stand of ITS Germany. In interesting conversations, our colleagues exchanged views on news and trends in the field of intelligent transport systems and contributed a talk on the topic of “Synchronous Mobility”. They also took part, among other things, in a tour on an autonomous shuttle from the French manufacturer Navya and had the opportunity to get to know the valet parking system of a German car manufacturer. This system is intended to support a partially autonomous vehicle in finding a free parking space in a parking garage: sensor technology is used to find a free space for the parked car, and additional services such as a car wash are offered as well.

We thank the Saxon Energy Agency SAENA for the invitation, the organisation and the smooth transport of our exhibits to Copenhagen.

The ITS World Congress rotates annually between Europe, the Asia-Pacific region and the Americas, and is hosted by Europe every 3 years. The next ITS World Congress will take place in Singapore in October 2019. Hamburg will host the World Congress in 2021.
