ITS and Infrastructure for Public Transport

UITP Academy is launching an online course on ITS and Infrastructure for Public Transport, starting on 20 May and ending 29 May 2024 with our Regional Training Centre, Shenzhen Bus Group. This course features 9 interactive online sessions.

In today’s rapidly evolving urban landscapes, the efficient and sustainable operation of public transportation systems is essential for the well-being of cities and their residents. The integration of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and the development of robust infrastructure are pivotal in achieving a seamless, reliable, and passenger-centric public transport network.

Our programme agenda has been meticulously crafted to empower transportation professionals, urban planners, policymakers, and technology enthusiasts with the knowledge and skills required to harness the power of ITS and infrastructure in the enhancement of public transport systems. Throughout this programme, we will explore the intricate interplay between technology, infrastructure, and public transport, delving into key concepts, best practices, and innovative solutions.

The training and all training materials will be provided in English, and Simultaneous Interpretation (SI) in English and Chinese will be provided during this online training.
