17TH World Congress on Road Winter Service, Resilience and Decarbonisation - Pre-proceedings of the Congress

Decarbonisation Session 07 - Innovative ITS for Decarbonisation and resiliency

Thursday, March 12 09:30 - 11:00
Chair: Jill HAYDEN, Co Work Group Leader TC 2.4 at PIARC & Technical Director at AtkinsRéalis, UK
Room: Room 4

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are transforming the way we plan, operate and experience mobility. As the world faces the dual challenge of reducing emissions and enhancing the resilience of transport networks, ITS offers an unprecedented opportunity to make road transport safer, cleaner, and more adaptive to change. This session, “Innovative ITS for Decarbonization and Resilience,” will bring together global experts to explore how digital connectivity, automation, and data-driven decision-making can accelerate the transition toward sustainable and climate-resilient road systems. This session is aimed at transport authorities, infrastructure managers, ITS developers, mobility service providers, researchers, consultants, and policy-makers committed to sustainable innovation. Whether you are working on intelligent operations, multimodal integration, or adaptive infrastructure — you will find inspiration, practical insights, and collaboration opportunities here

Why attend?
Discover how ITS solutions are being deployed worldwide to cut emissions, improve energy efficiency, and optimize traffic flows. Learn how connected and cooperative systems are helping road operators anticipate disruptions, manage extreme weather, and strengthen resilience.Engage with pioneers who are integrating digital and environmental strategies to achieve measurable decarbonization outcomes.

What you will take away?
- A forward-looking vision of how ITS contributes to the global decarbonization and climate adaptation agendas.
- Case studies and pilot initiatives demonstrating real-world impact in emissions reduction and network resilience.
- Opportunities to exchange ideas with international experts shaping the digital future of road mobility.

Join us in Chambéry to explore how innovative ITS can make roads smarter, greener, and more resilient — paving the way for a sustainable and connected mobility future.
