Dear
On behalf of the Organizer, the ITS POLSKA Association, we would like to thank you for your participation in the XVI POLISH ITS CONGRESS, which took place on October 7-8, 2024 at the “Mercure Warszawa Centrum” hotel in Warsaw. During the two days of debates, over 200 people took part in the congress. It is worth noting that 45% of the participants of the congress were representatives of the public sector, whose participation is free of charge, 33% were representatives of companies and 22% were the staff of universities and scientific institutions.
One of the goals of the POLISH ITS CONGRESS is to integrate the environment related to intelligent solutions in transport, acquiring new knowledge, exchanging views, inspiration and establishing business relationships. Parallel to the discussion panels, comprehensive solutions for ITS systems were presented by manufacturers and suppliers of services and devices. During the two days of the congress, representatives of leading companies on the ITS market were at the disposal of the participants, who discussed the latest technological solutions in transport and the possibilities of integration with these systems.
