    With the advent of 5G networks, what we call \u201cSmart Transport\u201d can no longer remain just a slogan. The incredible speed of innovation in information technology and communications means that the future of transportation \u2013 with the newest applications in the Internet of Vehicle, cloud computing, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, and 5G \u2013 is already here. And they must be comprehensively used for the benefit of Taiwan, to build a better, more convenient and \u201csmarter\u201d life for the people and invigorate Taiwan’s transportation technologies. And ITS Taiwan must be there every step of the way, driving this positive change to further improve our life and environment.<\/span><\/p>

    The outcome of this election underscores the importance of several key priorities for the Society, among which is Taiwan\u2019s bid to host the 2026 ITS World Congress, as well as strengthening the government’s support for the Society, so that it can fully live up to its role in the promotion of Taiwan’s Intelligent Transportation Systems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
