Good
afternoon. Today, I will discuss the
major challenge to agencies is how to plan for operations in an uncertain
future or more specifically as part of climate change and adaptation in a
fiscally responsible manner. In large part, the initial thinking that is the
basis of this presentation is a meeting that ITS America organized with the
Mansfield Foundation. The focus of the
presentation was to have the attendees understand the frequency with which
disasters occur.

|
|
Fortunately,
we had in the office the ability to get the task underway very quickly so
within six months of that meeting, we have the results of our initial
research.

(Plan,
implement, post event assessment)

Thursday
25 October 2012, 16.00-17.30 Lehar 2 Room

Evacuation
of urban cores as the result of weather, human actions or conclusion of
special events is enhanced through the utilization of ITS tools and coordination. The
movement of vehicles, pedestrians and non motorized transport is the
most significant challenge. This session will focus on techniques for
coordination, tools that are effective, and challenges for local and regional
partners. Panelists will discuss what is the current state of ITS
applications, tools, and processes in the planning, implementation
and post event assessments.
