ITS Now has always thrived on clarity, evidence and calm explanation, but the past year has shown just how quickly misinformation can form when complex systems meet public anxiety.
Urban freight is a constant negotiation for space and the kerbside is often the most contested part of that stage.
Clearview’s high-intensity LED studs actively illuminate the lane guidance for lane closures, maintenance activities, contraflow arrangements and incident management by altering the illumination pattern of the studs.
Alistair Gollop sat down with Joost Vantomme, CEO of ERTICO, during the organisation’s 35th anniversary year to discuss progress in 2026 and the wider direction of intelligent transport.
Held from 15 to 22 August across China by Espaces-Mobilités, this event provided an unparalleled insight for European delegates to witness China's progress in Level 4 autonomy.
The culmination of a Horizon Europe project, wrestling with the realities of rain, fog, snow and low-visibility environments, that expose the limits of today’s automated vehicle perception capabilities.
The 58th Universities’ Transport Studies Group (UTSG) Annual Conference returned to Surrey looking at the depth and direction of the research being shaped across the UK and Ireland’s transport schools.
The Expo delivered a rich seam of advances in simulation, breakthroughs in sensing, new architectures and a renewed focus on safety, cybersecurity and validation.
Rural mobility has always sat slightly off-centre in the ITS conversation, acknowledged as important but rarely treated as a strategic frontier.
The sensorisation of highways is no longer a speculative idea, it is emerging through connected vehicles, intelligent infrastructure and the growing need to provide assurance to automated systems.
The recent power failure at Network Rail’s Manchester operations centre was described as a rare event, yet its consequences were anything but minor, with widespread disruption across the rail network.
While AI technology accelerates, the law follows at a far more measured speed. The result is a widening gap between what AI can do and what regulators are prepared to govern.

Technologies have been used for many years to passively monitor activity on the highway, however over the years additional features have been added to assist in actively managing traffic, these range from informing users about current conditions, so that they can make their own decisions, such as automatically warning drivers of incidents using roadside variable message signs, through to compelling users to modify their driving, such as by implementing variable speed limits or by using enforcement cameras etc.
Ever seen rectangular, diamond or chevron black lines in the asphalt surface of a road and wondered what they are?
Many people assume that traffic signals emerged alongside the rise of motor vehicles, yet the foundations of modern signalisation were laid decades earlier. Long before roads were dominated by cars, engineers and scientists were grappling with the challenge of how to communicate movement, warning and control, at a distance.
This article introduces the key concepts of aspects, phases, stages, streams, and cycle time, and explains how they work together to manage traffic safely and efficiently.
