In this edition, we start by looking at how the language we use in traffic engineering might influence the solutions we engineer and how this might work to the detriment of progressing how we think about the active transport agenda.
As this is our first edition, we have included an explanatory article about what ITS is. We also have five articles from our series written in the UAE and Oman, about issues that face successful ITS deployments.
We finish this edition with our Technology Insight item for the first episode of Season 4 of the @ITSNow YouTube Channel. In this, we have worked with the Japanese firm NEC to look at their developments for Distributed Fibre Optic Sensing (DFOS), make sure to watch the full video online too!
