ITS Australia are pleased to announce the 2018 Australian Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Summit will be hosted in partnership with Transport for New South Wales, and Roads and Maritime Services.
The 6th Australian ITS Summit will bring together Australian and international executives from the emerging transport technology sector.
Transport plays an essential role in any economy, whether moving people or freight. The combined pressure to provide better and more transport means that the opportunity to develop and deploy new technology, and technology-based transport improvements, are of great social and economic significance.
With speakers and attendees from America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Australia, combined with a strong industry exhibition, sponsorship, and government support, the Australian ITS Summit 2018 outcomes will have positive impacts locally and internationally.
Ken Kanofski, Chief Executive Roads and Maritime Services said “Roads and Maritime Services is delighted to join together with ITS Australia to be the Premier Partner of the Intelligent Transport Systems Summit 2018. Our sponsorship of the Australian ITS Summit is a joint effort with Transport for NSW to contribute to the research, development, and delivery of initiatives which utilise ITS for the benefit of our customers.
“The future and performance of the road network and our customers’ experience rests with how we better utilise new technologies. The Australian ITS Summit provides an important platform for the industry to share information and to enable us to be future ready in this global transport evolution.”

We warmly invite you to be part of this free event bringing experts together to discuss the value of living laboratories and the role of spatial information in supporting smart precinct planning and design.
The event will offer opportunities to explore the design of a precinct scale living lab as part of the NSW Government’s $720m Randwick Hospitals’ Campus Redevelopment (Randwick Redevelopment).
This is a collaborative event sponsored by the Cooperative Research Centre for Low Carbon Living, University of New South Wales, University of Sydney, Randwick City Council and the Infrastructure Sustainability Council of NSW.
Background
The Randwick Redevelopment is bordered by Hospital Road, High, Barker and Avoca Streets, Randwick and encompasses four major referral hospitals. Demolition and site clearance will commence in late 2018 and construction in early 2019.
The precinct falls within one of the Greater Sydney’s Collaboration Areas, that is, an area with high potential to grow into centres of increased productivity and innovation.
The Randwick Redevelopment is an excellent opportunity to build upon the success of the 2017 Spatial Data Forum held at the University of Sydney to bring together stakeholders to explore the collaborative design of a precinct-scale living lab within the Redevelopment.
Why attend?
By participating, you will have the opportunity to:
- Learn about the Randwick Redevelopment and how that creates an opportunity to create an integrated living laboratory
- Hear (from experienced practitioners and renowned academics with specialised knowledge, experience, and skills) about the role and value of living labs and spatial data in precinct design, planning and the delivery of better outcomes
- Contribute to the design of a precinct scale living lab at Botany Street, Randwick, and understand the ideas, needs and priorities of industry, government and researchers
- Meet new and like-minded people from a diversity of fields (stimulating original insights and livelier, deeper conversations) and network with existing colleagues
Presenters
Presenters/panellists include:
- Professor Greg Morrison, Curtin University
- Infrastructure Sustainability Council of Australia
- Randwick and Newcastle councils
- Greater Sydney Commission
- Prof Chris Pettit, UNSW
- Prof Sisi Zlatanova, UNSW
- Prof Roland Fletcher, USyd
- Prof Pascal Perez, UoW
- Bruce Thompson, NSW Government
This is a free event. A light lunch and morning tea will be provided.
Please feel free to distribute this invitation to colleagues who you think may be interested in attending our event.

SSSI Strategic Roadmap Webinar No 1
This Webinar, presented by Peter Olah, SSSI CEO and Gaby van Wyk, SSSI President, will showcase SSSI’s new Strategic Roadmap and the SSSI Strategic Projects Plan 2018-19 which, together, encompasses the biggest change program in SSSI history.
It’s an ambitious plan. By 2021, it will position SSSI as one of the best professional membership organisations in Australia. The Strategic Roadmap is online at:
https://sssi.org.au/about-us/who-we-are/sssi-strategic-roadmap
Ambitious, forward-looking, but just another document until it leads to results. This is why the SSSI leadership has since put significant effort towards finalising our Strategic Projects Plan 2018-19. This is the document which takes the big picture and defines how we start to make it real.
It’s where we start building SSSI’s future, but also where our challenges become evident.

The 2018 Federal Budget allocated AU$36.9 million to Digital Earth Australia (DEA), a world-class infrastructure that uses satellite data to detect physical changes across Australia in extraordinary detail.
For the first time, DEA will be demonstrated through a live webinar, providing the first look at how anyone in Australia can begin using this tool and its associated data. We will be covering the visualisation, access, services and analytical powers of DEA — no matter your background or skill level, you’ll leave with a deeper understating of its potential.
DEA takes petabytes of information locked in the Australian Government’s satellite data archives and combines it with data from an ever-growing range of new satellites. DEA will enable small businesses to more easily access near real-time information and satellite data to create new digital products and services, supporting industry productivity and innovation.
From our first industry consultation we found the sectors set to make the most gains include land planning, construction, agriculture and mineral exploration, but we expect our disrupters to generate ideas unimagined across the entire economy.
The webinar will include presentations from Geoscience Australia, FrontierSI and CSIRO and will cover many viewing, access and analysis examples, including:
DEA Overview:
• Industry Consultation process
DEA Visualisation Tools:
• Visualising time series data products on the web
DEA Access:
• Access to data from the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant web services
• Access to data for download
DEA Use:
• Deployment of the open data cube using ‘Cube-in-a-Box’
• Cloud based data analysis using Jupyter Notebooks
• CSIRO deployment of the Open Data Cube
