Cubic Transportation Systems executive to address the benefits of cloud hosting for modernizing agency capabilities
SAN DIEGO – April 27, 2017 – Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS), a business unit of Cubic Corporation (NYSE:CUB), today announced Chris Bax, vice president of global ITS strategy, will participate in a panel discussion on the benefits of cloud-based technologies for traffic management systems at the ITS Heartland 2017 Annual Meeting in Wichita, Kansas from May 1 – 3.
Population growth is increasing the demands placed on roads and associated infrastructure around the world. Inevitably, pressure to expand and support transportation infrastructure growth is placed on the transit authorities that manage them. During the panel, Bax will cover “smart city” technology and how cloud hosting can be used to meet the needs of advanced traffic management solutions. He will highlight the benefits of cloud-based platforms, from integration capabilities to cost-effectiveness, resiliency and reliability. Additionally, Bax will address how cloud hosting is being applied, the long-term advantage and its ability to support smart cities.
“Transportation infrastructure will constantly evolve in order to meet population growth,” said Bax. “It’s imperative for traffic management to be efficient now and in the future, as the only way we can maximize the lifetime performance of transport solutions is to rely on new technologies.”
Bax will take part in the following panel session:
- Session 3A: Beyond the Signal – What’s New in Traffic Management and Operations
Wednesday, May 3, 8:30 – 10:00 a.m. (local time); Riverview Ballroom, Hyatt Regency, Wichita, Kansas
