Know before you go: Your ITS World Congress Preview
As Mike Geertsen wrote recently, we’re proud to be a sponsor of ITS World Congress taking place Oct. 29 – Nov. 2 in Montreal, Canada. Many of our forward-thinking Microsoft CityNext partners will be there including Genetec, K2 Geospatial, DimOnOff, and Cubic.
Our partners will demonstrate how they can help you get people where they want to go faster and safer—while providing a great experience along the way. You’ll be able to see how you can take advantage of digital technology and the cloud to empower your city and citizens with connected, smart urban mobility solutions.
Genetec will be showcasing its new Traffic Sense solutions. You’ll get to learn how you can use its open platform to bring together data from multiple sensors and data providers so you can gain insight and manage traffic, roads, road signs, maintenance, and more. Its solutions offer a flexible and highly user-configurable and extensible architecture so that traffic agencies can not only take full control of their workflows and processes, but integrate new technologies in your urban transportation environment when and how they need to.
K2 Geospatial will be demonstrating how you can make better decisions with JMap, its map-based integration platform. You can connect any system or data source and visualize all the information together on a map. That way, you can access, analyze, and communicate information from a range of sources—such as GIS, CAD, databases, sensors, meters, GPS, RFid, Web Services, videos, documents, and more—to gain insight that can help you with your urban mobility management and planning.
DimOnOff, a pioneer and innovator in wireless control and remote monitoring technologies for street and area lighting and smart cities, will be demonstrating its solutions on an 84-inch Microsoft Surface Hub. You’ll be able to see how you can use its Smart City Management System to connect your street lights and sensors to a central management system so you can monitor your city’s infrastructures in real time.
Cubic will have a large presence at ITS World, demonstrating its many intelligent transportation systems. It has helped bring citizen-centric solutions to some of the largest, most complicated transit systems in the world, from the Clipper card payment system in the San Francisco Bay area to the Oyster card system in London to the EASY Card revenue management system in Miami Dade County. You’ll be able to learn how Cubic can help your city deliver tools for travelers to choose the smartest and easiest way to travel and pay for their journeys, and enable your transportation authorities and agencies to manage demand across the entire transportation network.
In addition to checking out our partners’ smart, connective transportation solutions at ITS World Congress, you can attend a session on urban mobility at our Microsoft Montreal office Nov. 2. There, you’ll have the opportunity for in-depth conversations with Microsoft executives and subject-matter experts from our partners Genetec, Cubic, and Amano McGann. You can register for our urban mobility session right here.
Plus, don’t miss a panel on data sharing technology and policy approaches for a smart city ecosystem that we’ll be leading at ITS World Congress Nov. 1 in the Smart City Pavilion—which Mike Geertsen will be participating in and wrote about in his blog.
We hope to see you in Montreal!
