Traffic, transport forum to open

Viet Transport 2010, the third International Land Transport Infrastructure Exhibition and Conference, will start in Ha Noi tomorrow.

It will be the largest gathering of traffic and land transport professionals yet held in Viet Nam. The exhibition, designed to help develop the country’s transport network, allows industry professionals to showcase their products and services, network with related land transport authorities and connect with local distributors, suppliers and contractors.

The two-day event will also display innovative technologies and solutions to help Viet Nam realise its ambitious transport plans. Attendees will further discuss plans, targets, and strategies for road and railway infrastructure projects in the Indochina region.

More than 20 companies from Japan, Australia, the US, Canada, South Korea, and Germany will attend the event.

The Automatic Vehicle Identification Solution, a device used to manage and monitor traffic flow and to provide vehicle identification for safer driving, will be introduced for the first time in Viet Nam.

The conference, which will run alongside the exhibition, will provide a networking opportunity. It will feature experts who will cover topics such as financing and maintenance strategies, and will highlight the experiences in infrastructure development from countries and territories including Switzerland, Australia, India, the Philippines, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand and Canada. — VNS
