HERE and SBD demonstrate how ITS collaborations are changing in a whitepaper published ahead of ITS Bordeaux 2015

This is about to change. Find out how the increasing maturity of new technologies can help government and industry avoid the roadblocks of the past and work together on successful ITS deployments.
