High-tech talks online

ITS New Zealand has its second T-Tech Reboot virtual event following the cancellation of the national conference in Wellington on June 23.

The two-day event at Te Papa Tongarewa was abandoned within hours of starting because of a coronavirus scare.

The second reboot is being held on October 7 from noon to 1.30pm via Zoom to deliver presentations that would have been made at the conference. 

It’s a chance to hear from five speakers representing world-leading examples of innovation, says ITSNZ.

One of them is Mahmoot Hikmet, executive chairman of Ohmio, who will talk about the development of level-four autonomous shuttles, pictured.

The other speakers include Edward Wright, of Waka Kotahi, who will address online delegates about an on-demand mobility trial, while Jane Jujnovich, from Kainga Ora, will cover a shared mobility trial for state housing.

Electric transport and charging are the subjects for Liz Yeaman, of Retyna, while CSLi’s Scott Hammond will tackle transit lane monitoring and enforcement systems.
