Lyon has been chosen to host the 8th of the series of European ITS Congresses. This city is the second leading economic centre in France and is home to major manufacturers in the automobile sector. It will also be a major opportunity to meet advanced industry, academics and public organisations sharing common interest in promoting future urban transport systems using ITS.
The facilities of the Cité Internationale Congress Centre of Lyon are quite outstanding for this Congress and Exhibition, and the delegates and exhibitors expected to attend will find everything they can desire to maximise business and pleasure over the three days of the event.
The main focus of the Congress will be "Intelligent mobility - ITS for sustainable transport of persons and goods in urban regions", paying particular attention to the following topics:
The organisation of this major 2011 event has begun with the active participation of the Grand Lyon, the Rhône-Alpes Region, the Lyon Urban Truck and Bus Cluster, the French Ministry of Transport (MEEDDM), ITS France and the French organisations active within ERTICO - ITS Europe. This event will be also the perfect place to measure the achievements in term of implementation and deployment which have occurred since the last time the European ITS Congress took place in Lyon in 2002. The Call for Papers will be available after summer, but save the date already in your agenda and we look forward to seeing you in Lyon next year!
