Partner News: Logica at Stockholm

Date: 07 October 2009

 Logica made a considerable investment in the 2009 ITS World Congress. This involved participation in the organising and programme committees, being a main sponsor, organising, moderating and presenting at numerous sessions, sponsoring the Internet Café and providing demonstrations of new services.

This year’s event was a huge success and visitors were treated to a variety of interesting keynotes, tours and technical demonstrations. Logica’s CEO, Andy Green, delivered a keynote at the Industry plenary and round table session on ‘Future transport – a multimodal challenge: ITS solutions ensuring environmentally friendly transport’. In this keynote, Andy discussed the global issues impacting the environment and emphasised the increased use of technology as a key driver towards building sustainable transport solutions. The video of his talk is available on the Logica website.

At the Internet Café, Logica’s innovation tour demonstrated key services that support more sustainable transport. These included information to drivers to encourage more cost efficient and environmentally friendly driving; a system that enables insurance companies to charge drivers according to usage, and a smart solution for tracking goods.
 
Logica was also a key participant in demonstrating CVIS (Cooperative Vehicle Infrastructure Systems). The live demonstrations in a van on the streets in Stockholm showcased how vehicle to vehicle communication and vehicle to infrastructure communication can play a role in driver convenience, safety and sustainable mobility.
