Mobility is undergoing a transformation that significantly impacts road authorities who are challenged to navigate a rapidly evolving technology landscape. They also face mounting and sometimes competing pressures—including decarbonization, digitalization, urban population growth, rising public expectations and the need to do more with less.

Road authorities have the opportunity to capitalize on emerging disruptive technologies—such as automation, artificial intelligence and enhanced connectivity—by selectively applying them to the way road networks are designed, constructed, managed and operated. They can drive innovation that supports economic prosperity and positive advancement across the transport ecosystem.  Achieving success requires putting people’s needs at the centre of decision-making to help road authorities achieve their missions while improving outcomes for all.  A systems-thinking design-led approach is essential in this process.
