Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) beyond borders

The ITS World Congress rotates between Europe, the Asia Pacific region and the Americas, returning to Europe every three years. The ITS European Congress is held in the years when there is not a World Congress taking place in Europe.

The 12th ITS European Congress takes place in June 2017 in Strasbourg, one of the few European cities providing a package of best practices as a pioneer in sustainable mobility. The intersection of multiple transport and communication networks makes the city a wonderful living lab for mobility.

The Congresses provide an opportunity for all stakeholders to come together, discuss and make the necessary contacts to move initiatives forward and to develop their business by exhibiting and demonstrating state of the art ITS solutions. The Congresses also showcase the latest ITS achievements from the city and region hosting the Congress, and can help increase awareness of ITS in the Host region itself.
