Panel: Where Scotland Leads the Way - Technology and Innovation for Efficiency and Cost Savings
15:30 - 16:15
Scotland is moving from lagging to leading indicators in roads technology - from ITS and telematics to AI-driven operations. This panel takes stock of what's working, where adoption is still patchy, and what it will take to cement Scotland's position at the forefront.
- Making the case for innovation: framing technology and new approaches in terms of efficiency gains, reduced man-hours and lifecycle savings rather than upfront cost
- Scotland's progress on ITS, digital traffic management, telematics and connected vehicle/telematics data: what local authorities are deploying and how Scotland is using live network data to improve operations
- Shining a light on the current state of traffic infrastructure in Scotland, the business case for investment, estimated cost-savings and cost of renewals
- What needs to happen to move innovation from the few to the many across Scottish roads
