The Showcase consists of live demonstrations by leading private transportation companies and governmental agencies, including the U.S. Department of Transportation, DELCO/Econolite, GEWI/BMW and TransCore. The Technology Showcase is unique to the World Congress presenting a variety of technology solutions that address major transportation challenges and drive economic growth.

In 2011 attendees will have the opportunity to experience more than 25 different demonstrations and profit from great insights and breakthrough innovations. The Technology Showcase pavilion will be organized by themes or “villages” focused on specific topics that supply participants all solutions related to the following special areas:

SAFETY The Safety Village will showcase advanced technologies designed to prevent or reduce freeway accidents and improve overall traffic safety. The I-95 Corridor Coalition, in partnership with the New York State Department of Transportation and the Commercial Vehicle Infrastructure Integration (CVII) Project Team will be demonstrating elements of the CVII Program. Other demonstrators include Toyota, DELCO/ Econolite, Siemens, Raytheon and USDOT.

arterial travel times. Additional demonstrations are planned by companies such as Alcatel-Lucent, Sensys Networks and GEWI/BMW—as well as public agencies like FDOT and LYNX.

PRICING The Pricing Village will feature technologies used for financing improvements and managing demand. Using the data from the established RSE locations, ACS/ Xerox will demonstrate cordon pricing. Other demonstrating companies include TransCore and Kapsch.

ENVIRONMENTAL/SUSTAINABILITY

The Environmental and Sustainability Village includes ITS strategies that have the potential for reducing emissions. SwRI’s Environmental Management demonstration, for example, will model/showcase the management of environmental data from an ATMS. Additional demonstrations include Ricardo, Telvent, Imperial College and USDOT AERIS.

“In a year when state agencies are asked to do more with less, it is more important than ever to be a part of the conversations that will impact how public sector organizations and private companies do business and provide services. The event should not be missed by anyone in the industry” said R. Scott Rawlins, Deputy Director and Chief Engineer of the Nevada Department of Transportation.
