With the Tokyo 2020 Olympics fast approaching, Toyota is adapting 20 of its e-Palette autonomous shuttles to move contestants around the athletes’ village.
Adoption of the automated electric vehicles has been based in part on feedback from athletes from past games about their mobility needs.
The 5.2m long e-Palette shuttles feature large doors, a low floor and electric ramps to allow up to 20 Olympians or four wheelchair Paralympians (plus additional standing passengers), to board quickly and easily.
The SAE level 4 vehicle is capable of operating at up to 20kmh and will be supported by an on-board safety operator.
Deploying the e-Palette for athlete and staff mobility is a key element of Toyota's program to provide advanced mobility solutions for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics; the knowledge gained will be fed back into developing the vehicle to support future MaasS applications.
Designed with front/rear symmetry, wheels at the corners and a cube shape, Toyota’s e-Palette provides an expansive interior space.
In line with the company’s “Mobility for All” commitment, it is fitted with handrails and seats that are easy to use regardless of height, while the floor, trim, seats and other components have contrasting colours that assist people with colour-blindness.
The shuttle is the first developed specifically by the company for autonomous mobility as a service ("AutonoMaaS") applications, reflecting Toyota's transition to a mobility company combining electrification, connectivity and advanced driving technologies to support new shared mobility business models.
In common with the athletes they will carry, what will happen to the shuttles once the Olympics are over will be decided after the closing ceremony.

Siemens’ Sitraffic sX certified as SCATS-compatible
Siemens Mobility’ traffic light controller Sitraffic sX has been certified as compatible with Sydney’s urban traffic control system SCATS (Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System).
Roads and Maritime Services (RMS), the road infrastructure agency for Australia’s state of New South Wales, and which owns SCATS, granted
Siemens certification after a substantial period of integration development and testing.
According to the company, its Sitraffic sX traffic light controller has been tested and evaluated by RMS as being functionally operational with SCATS.
The official hand-over of the Certificate from RMS to Siemens Mobility took place during a ceremony at the ITS World
Congress in Singapore at Siemens Mobility booth.
“The sX incorporates ultramodern modular hardware and innovative software – a combination that future-proofs this traffic management technology,” says Markus Schlitt, CEO of Siemens Mobility Intelligent Traffic Systems
Urban traffic control systems, such as SCATS, aim to optimise
traffic flow within a city, increasing the efficiency of the road network and reducing the environmental effects of traffic.
Through sensors and detectors on the road, as well as traffic signal controllers, SCATS can respond to the demands of the road network in real time.

Econolite sees 'green shoots' of collaborative mobility
The ITS industry is coming into an exciting new phase of genuine cooperation which will benefit users, says Econolite president and COO Abbas Mohaddes.
“I feel we are now truly bringing people together in a collaborative approach to multimodal mobility,” he says.
“This has been a dream since the inception of World Congress 25 years ago. We have these broad constituencies: mobility, communications, computer processing, machine learning and AI, connected and autonomous vehicles – all with the focus on the end user.”
Mohaddes believes this means organisations are able to learn from one another as never before.
Satellite spoofers beware: here there be Draconav!
With satellite tolling on the horizon in Singapore and beyond, unintended or deliberate – spoofing – corruption of satellite positioning is becoming a very real problem.
Erroneous positioning information also confounds navigation and fleet management systems and, potentially, speed and distance measurements.
To counter such problems, Galileo (the EU’s Global Navigation Satellite System or GNSS) is using ITS World Congress 2019 to highlight Draconav, a fully integrated and secure GNSS module, along with Patrol, an open
“This is the first time we have seen the ‘green shoots’,” he says. “The stars are aligned – the parties have been collaborating and they see the way forward. Now we can hear each other, we can take away some nuggets.”
The signs have been there over the last few years, but he thinks Singapore marks a turning point.
“In the last two or three World Congresses we’ve been discussing MaaS, edge computing, machine learning and AI,” he continues. “We now see government agencies and private firms working together and implementing this. That is what we will see more and more.”

Autotoll drives into a smart city future
Ever since the introduction of a free-flow electronic toll collection (ETC) system in Hong Kong in 1998, Autotoll has proactively participated in a number of different smart city initiatives. The company is at the ITS World Congress to demonstrate how it has now become an intelligent transport solution provider, specialising in smart mobility and with a proven track record.
Autotoll’s stand highlights its project capabilities, across the areas of free-flow tolling, real-time traffic information, real-time traffic monitoring, traffic control and surveillance
systems, Internet of Things and telematics solutions.
For example, in 2014 Autotoll was awarded the contract by the HKSAR government for traffic control and surveillance system on the Hong Kong-ZhuhaiMarco Bridge.
Collaborating with Jiangsu Intellitrans for design and implementation, the system covers all Hong Kong boundary crossing facilities, the Hong Kong link road, and the southern connection of Tuen Mun-Chap Lap Kok Link. It is also used for traffic coordination management during incidents and uses a state-of-the-art expert rule-
based system for generation of adaptive traffic plans to cater for scenarios including multiple incidents and adverse weather conditions.
Autotoll’s pedigree in tolling is also impressive: the company has been providing ETC for Hong Kong since 1998 and in 2017 was awarded a contract for the trial installation and
evaluation of its free-flow tolling system.
Last year, Autotoll was awarded a contract by the HKSAR government for a realtime traffic monitoring system, a core project in the Hong Kong Smart City Blueprint of upgrading the city’s ITS systems. ▶ Booth 98 www.autotoll.com.hk
BESTMILE: CONDUCTING THE MOBILITY SERVICES ORCHESTRA
Hailed as being instrumental in “building a new mobility paradigm” – and with glowing reviews from users around the world – the Bestmile “orchestration engine” platform on display at ITS World Congress 2019 demonstrates how this software is driving the growth in mobility services. Bestmile’s orchestration engine automates booking, dispatching, routing, ride matching, and pooling, while allowing mobility service providers to define predictable design parameters for both fleets and passengers. Fleet parameters include fleet size, vehicle locations, vehicle utilisation, booking options, and pooling thresholds, while passenger parameters include ride times, wait times, and excess times when pooling.
Bestmile’s all-in-one platform features a dashboard that provides a comprehensive view and tools to plan, supervise, orchestrate and analyse mobility services. Also available from the company are mobile applications for travellers and drivers
“We help mobility providers around the world deliver valuable ride-hailing, robotaxi, micro-transit and autonomous shuttle services,” says Raphael Gindrat, CEO of Bestmile (right).
While the world’s attention is often focused on new types of connected vehicles, less attention is given to how these vehicles can work together as intelligent fleets.
Bestmile says that it offers the only fleet orchestration platform of its kind able to support human-driven and autonomous vehicles of any brand or type, plus ondemand and scheduled services, and multi-modal integration.
According to the company, its platform enables mobility providers to move more people with fewer vehicles while meeting business objectives and passenger requirements.

HAENNI WEIGHING SYSTEM SUCCESS
Haenni Instruments is at ITS World Congress in Singapore to highlight the success, reliability and accuracy of its range of weighing products and systems.
The company’s history dates back to 1977, when Haenni sold its first wheel load scale (serial #1): every year since, for more than 40 years, that first scale still has an annual workshop test and remains in operation.
In the US market alone, the company has so far sold almost 25,000 units; they’ve become so well known some officials there refer to weighing instruments generically as ‘haennis’.
At the World Congress, the company is demonstrating how its patented hydraulic measurement systems give Haenni wheel load scales unmatched accuracy and acceptance in the global marketplace.
OIML (International Organization of Legal Metrology) certified, and known as the thinnest on the market, the
company’s scales are light, robust and long-lasting.
Offering a variety of types, sizes and ranges Haenni products are used across a range of different applications.
On its booth, the company is focusing on the WL 108, featuring its patented hydraulic measurement element, plus the addition of innovative features, including wireless communication, 180-hour battery life, and a weight of only 16kg.
For weigh-in-motion (WIM) applications, Haenni is featuring its WL 400 strip sensor, specifically designed for pre-selection.
It can also be used as a LSWIM (lowspeed WIM) system – up to 20 kmh –and has a capacity of 40 tonnes per axle. With no display, it is connected to a PC using the company’s EC 200 software for further processing, visualisation and printing out of results.

Intelematics takes to the cloud with new portal
Intelematics has chosen ITS World Congress Singapore to launch its high-quality interactive data visualisation portal.
According to the company, policymakers, urban planners, logistics firms – any organisation that moves people and goods around – now can have access to high-quality traffic, weather and Internet of Things (IoT) data.
Relationships between transportation and the economy are very complex and, as a result, are often poorly understood, says Jules Snow, sales and marketing manager of Melbourne, Australia-based Intelematics.
How, for example, do different modes of transport apply to different stages of an
individual’s journey? How do traffic incidents and congestion influence a journey?
Intelematics captures data
through millions of sensors located on roads, in vehicles and infrastructure.
In the past, it has been a
challenge extracting this data to be used in a meaningful way.
But the company’s new portal has been made possible by its recent transition to cloud computing, allowing for more storage and faster processing capabilities than previously.
The portal provides visibility into Intelematics’ extensive traffic data, and maps correlations between the mass movement of people and vehicles with specific events such as weather and traffic incidents.
By diving deeply into the data and looking at how people are moving, Intelematics can enable data-driven decisionmaking based on movement factors.

Mobility as a Service (MaaS) has gained tremendous attention since it was introduced at the ITS Europe Congress in Helsinki in 2014. Its common definition has been expanding to cover all innovative new mobility services and embrace the disruption as a whole. This works well in Western cities, where the new services, aided by a digitallyable clientele, the availability of travel data and infrastructures, as well as public-private collaboration mechanisms, find their natural
However, the world outside western cities seems not to be yet touched by the magic of MaaS. Special interest session Mobility As A Service Beyond Western Cities: Rural Areas, Developing Countries And Megacities (14:00 - 15:30, Room 330) will explore the applicability of MaaS to the other three segments in a quadrant consisting of western cities, rural areas, developing countries and megacities. As a result of this session, attendees will have a better understanding of the aspects needing attention when developing MaaS for rural and developing areas.

DynaRoads offers smart contraflow solutions
DynaRoads's smart contra-flow management system has been designed to be fully automated, secure and efficient – all essential for safe and smooth site operations.
Meeting the demands of increasing worldwide traffic requires constant expansion and renewal of roads and highways.
However, as the German-based DynaRoads points out, often a combination of unavailable road width and high traffic volumes can prolong the disruption of a highway expansion project significantly.
For example, closing existing lanes leads to higher traffic volumes on the
remaining roads, which in turn results in more traffic jams during rush hour.
Contraflow traffic management solves these problems by temporarily assigning a shared lane to the higher frequented direction of travel, significantly enhancing the flow rate of vehicles.
DynaRoads’ system includes centralised sequence control, dynamic traffic signals with LED technology, safety-monitoring of the shared lane and fully automatic opening of the barriers – all without requiring personnel deployment.

VANJEE’S SBS COVERS ALL BASES
VanJee is using ITS World Congress 2019 to show off its pre-eminent terminal traffic product and platform offerings, including weigh-in-motion, lidar, electronic toll collection and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) to protect road assets, guarantee traffic safety, and improve traffic efficiency.
Products on its booth include a Smart Base Station (SBS) which integrates 3D-lidar, camera, V2X RSU, and multiaccess edge computing (MEC).
The SBS is an advanced system that helps authorities to get vital traffic information through real-time scanning and
computing. The station collects and processes real-time traffic information, including from all passing vehicles, cell-phones and cloud database.
Its 3D-lidar capability allows it to scan the road completely to collect point cloud data, including vehicles and pedestrians, then collect real-time traffic information to monitor vehicle driving behaviour and identify potential traffic risks, especially in blind spot scenarios.
The V2X capability can then be used to deliver safety warnings to all passing vehicles.
VanJee says the SBS can make a significant contribution to
autonomous driving, as well as improving traffic safety significantly.
Also at World Congress, VanJee is demonstrating its big data platform to connect local weighing stations, SBS stations, cameras and lidars to achieve a big data traffic service.
This platform collects essential data for traffic management, logistics services,
and road maintenance planning, and can receive and process real-time traffic information by V2X.
It can also automatically generate a blacklist for vehicles which have too many violation records, resulting in improvements in road user behaviour and safety.

Traffic Technology Services is at ITS World Congress 2019 to highlight its Personal Signal Assistant IaaS (Information-as-a-Service) product that helps drivers manage their vehicle speeds for smoother trips through multiple sets of traffic lights.
Traffic Technology Services (TTS), a global information service provider for connected vehicle applications, argues that connected vehicles need connected services – and to achieve this it’s setting up public-private partnership between government agencies and private industry.
“While connectivity of infrastructure and connectivity of vehicles drives the story of connected vehicles, there is a greater need to look at content that can actually support automotive-grade connected vehicle applications,” says
Thomas Bauer, TTS CEO.
According to Bauer, the company was approached by an OEM to solve this content problem for the industry more than five years ago.
To achieve this, TTS enters into agreements with government agencies to access
traffic signal control data, which it then uses as part of Personal Signal Assistant IaaS offering.
In exchange TTS returns data to those agencies with which it works about vehicle operations and traffic signal crossings – an agreement that is at no cost to government agencies.
“The information we provide to government agencies helps them to understand operations at the vehicle level, something that is often difficult to obtain,” says Bauer.
Since 2016, TTS has been supporting the first automotive OEM connected vehicle applications for signalised intersections through Audi’s Connect Traffic Light Information.
Data captured by TTS enables Audi vehicles to notify their drivers of waiting times at red lights, or the ideal travel speed for reaching the next traffic light on green.
TTS is currently implementing this at more than 26,000 signalised intersections in North America, with contracts allowing this number to be expanded to almost 40,000.

It allows clients to keep track of their assets in such confined areas, with the same apps they use outside, so long as they rely on a GPS signal.
The system provides substantial operational and safety benefits, including helping people to find their way underground.
Syntony has also developed technology and expertise in GNSS signals and location systems, in partnership with leading aerospace companies. The company claims to have become a game-changer in the radio navigation industry through a unique combination of very sophisticated and high-grade RF front-end elements with digital processing implementation, allowing rapid changes and improvements to functionality of devices, while reducing cost and effort.

GUIMU PAVEMENT ROBOT ROLLING OUT GLOBALLY
Robotics manufacturer Guimu says it is looking to expand sales of its popular pavement inspection robot outside of the domestic Chinese market.
Guimu’s Pavement Robotic Inspection System consists of a battery-powered GPS-guided robot that trundles along on four wheels at speeds up to 20km/h. It can cover up to 7500m² in
an hour, while the battery is good for up to eight hours on average, with a charging time of only four hours. Manufacturer Guimu is a three-year-old startup originating out of Tsinghua University, a major research institute in Beijing. The robot is delivered to site in a specially modified truck that doubles as the robot’s remote control centre.
Now in its second generation, the current model weighs 600kg and measures 3155mm by 1750mm by 1860mm, and has an upgraded obstacle avoidance system with a range of up to 3m.
The majority of the robot’s work so far has been along airport runways, including those at Beijing International. Ground penetrating radar
in front and a high-resolution camera at the back allow visual inspection of runways and roads with a resolution of up to 1mm. It can also carry out 3D modelling of pavement structures, roadbeds and roadside utilities such as pipelines, with inspection depths of 1-3m. Analysis can detect voids, cable ducts, looseness, hollows, sedimentation, cracks and subgrade moisture. Detection results can be customised to access the road’s information management system. While Guimu will sell the system, the company operates it as an on-demand service at most of the 49 sites in China where the robots work.

Nordic Pavilion
Nordic+ embraces the future of mobility with a strong focus on sustainability, worldclass technology, mobility as a service (MaaS) and enabling regulation.
“We want to show the ITS world that the Nordic countries have a lot to offer, and we are stronger together,” says Marko Forsblom, CEO, ITS Finland, organiser of the Nordic Pavilion. “Taking part in the Nordic+ Pavilion opens the members from the various ITS organisations to bigger and better opportunities and access to projects."
At the pavilion, visitors can find expertise and the latest showcases, such as MaaS, traffic management, data utilisation, automation, electric charging solutions and smart infrastructure, presented by government and city authorities, research institutes, various companies and ITS associations from Estonia, Finland, Norway and Sweden.
The Nordic+ partners are also presenting a just-launched project to build up an NMIP (Nordic Mobility Innovation Platform).
“Seamless mobility, using several modes of transportation other than the personal motor vehicle, across the Nordics and the rest of Europe, will require deliberate planning among multiple organisations and actors,” says Forsblom. “We are encouraged by parallel developments in ICT and business model innovation that, together,
increase the likelihood of seamless transEuropean mobility.”
MaaS unlocks the ability for an individual to plan and pay for travel on almost every mode of transportation using a single mobile application. It exists in multiple cities across Europe, and the current groundswell of new business initiatives signal that MaaS is more than a passing craze.
The NMIP project draws its inspiration from the success of Nordic Mobile Telephone that demonstrated the ability of collaboration between the Nordic nations to transform a technology encumbered by a fragmented market to its current nimble and ubiquitous state. The NMIP platform aims to achieve the same for MaaS, resulting in significant positive economic, environmental and social impacts in the Nordic states.
The project has a heavy focus on knowledge-sharing between actors in the Nordic mobility market to improve transportation planning and encourage iterative innovation. The project is funded by Nordic Innovation, an organisation under the Nordic Council of Ministers.
“The NMT and GSM standards are historical evidence that collaboration in the Nordics can have a global impact. The MaaS standards developed today may make the way people move significantly more convenient in the future, in the Nordics
and beyond,” emphasises Trond Hovland, managing director of ITS Norway.
Visitors to the Nordic Pavilion will also have an opportunity to take a VR bike tour in Copenhagen.
Today, the pitching sessions at the Pavilion cover the themes of innovative solutions for smart mobility (at 10:00am); C-ITS and Smart Infrastructure (1:00pm); and private/ public and shared transport (3:30pm) and there will be a Transport Research Arena 2020 reception at 4:00pm.

ITS Korea Pavilion
ITS deployments in Korea are as advanced as anything elsewhere in the world. Systems such as advanced traffic management, electronic road pricing, and real-time traffic information, to name just a few, have been improving quality of life by solving
traffic and environmental problems such as traffic congestion, traffic accidents, and air pollution. Indeed, Korean ITS has been recognised and exported to many countries.
ITS Korea hopes that the world will grow together in the ITS field by continuously sharing experiences and know-how and that is the goal of the ITS Korea Pavilion here in Singapore. In June 2014, ITS Korea was officially designated as an overseas business centre by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT). As part of that remit, ITS Korea assists Korean ITS businesses that want to enter overseas markets as well as promoting overseas business, hence the high number of companies and organisations on its pavilion with a range of products and systems.
As visitors to the pavilion will learn, for overseas countries hoping to introduce ITS or to work with Korea, ITS Korea also provides customised consulting, the opportunities for sharing Korean ITS technologies and experience, and business matchmaking. In addition, ITS Korea is keen to illustrate how it helps overseas countries develop their finance strategies for project funding.
For a deeper understanding of how advanced ITS is in Korea, Young-Kyun Lee, of ITS Korea, has organised the special interest session Realising Benefits Of C-ITS In Everyday Life, (Friday, 11:00 - 12:30, Room 327) which will deal with the C-ITS progress in Korea and share what the country has learned from its experiences.
