The Transport Technology Forum’s draft guidance on managing roadside technology seeks sector-wide input to ensure modern, practical and future-ready support for authorities responsible for Britain’s increasingly complex digital road infrastructure.
The Institute of Highway Engineers has extended its bursary deadline, offering students, professionals and academics an opportunity for funding that supports learning, registration and innovation across the world of highway engineering.
SolarLite, working in partnership with the Local Council Roads Innovation Group, is inviting authorities to nominate sites to provide up to one hundred SolarLite studs at winning sites, together with standard installation at no cost.
Local roads, stronger guidance and connected technology will shape the next phase of transport delivery, according to Darren Capes, Head of Road Infrastructure Technology at The Department for Transport.
The Software Defined Vehicle and Automated Vehicle (SDV and AV) Technology Summit Europe arrived in London with a sense of urgency that reflected the pace of change across the mobility and automotive sectors.
During Singapore Urban Mobility Week 2026, delegates will have the opportunity to experience real-world transport facilities first-hand through a curated programme of visits to selected transport facilities across the city.
The future of tolling will be defined not only by technology, but by the ability of agencies, operators, and innovators to work together across borders and disciplines.
Engineers, operators, academics and technology leaders gathered to explore how Britain’s transport networks can withstand the pressures of climate change, ageing assets, rising demand and the relentless march of digital innovation.
Behind every container lifted from a ship and every suitcase placed on a conveyor belt sits a network of intelligent transport systems that keep global logistics moving.
A quiet revolution that is beginning to reshape how engineers, planners and operators understand the road network. Cloud native platforms, AI assisted modelling and real time simulation are changing the nature of the craft.
The roadside unit inhabits a curious presence in the ITS landscape. Most people never notice, yet it forms an important touchpoint between connected vehicles and the digital systems that shape their journeys.
The ITS industry has long celebrated the efficiency gains that digital systems deliver, but the carbon cost of the infrastructure that supports them has remained largely out of sight.

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.
