Session Description

ITS products and services offer exciting, new transport capabilities to governments, businesses, and the public. In an ideal world, the benefits of ITS would be available equally to all. Practically, however, the entities and people with greater size and wealth garner a disproportionate share of the benefits of ITS. This session will investigate the sociological and economic elements that could make access to ITS benefits more equitable and fair. Panelists will represent both mature and developing economies.

Invited Speakers:

Kyung- Soo Chon, Professor, Seoul National University

Linda Watson, President and CEO, Capital Metropolitan Transportation

Hans Rode, Chairman ITS Council, Swedish Government

Kian-Keong Chin, Chief Engineer, Transportation, Land Transport Authority
