This special Thinking Aloud comes from the Integrated Systems Europe 2014 event at the RAI in Amsterdam.

It's an important show because it showcases technology which is essential to the control room environment of ITS.

This show is the first of two from Amsterdam brought to you by Paul Hutton and Thinking Highways Editor Kevin Borras, in which we hear from Geert Nuyttens (Barco), Peter van Dijk & Adrian Jones (Mitsubishi Electric), David Griffiths (Christie) and Margaret Yova (Qvision).

These shows are sponsored by Barco, Mitsubishi Electric, Jupiter Systems and Christie.

This is the third of our programmes from the 93rd Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board in Washington, DC.

Today guest reporter Shelley Row talks to Melanie Crotty from the San Francisco Bay area and Tom Blair who has just joined Iteris. Kevin Borras catches up with IBM's Dave Pickeral and the founders of Driverless Transportation of Virginia, while Paul hears about simulators from Realtime Technologies, Inc and from Inrix.

These programmes are brought to you by Thinking Highways Magazine and sponsored by Inrix, Iteris, Moxa and Traffax.

We have collected so much material from TRB this week that there will be plenty more from here in forthcoming "Thinking Alouds".

In today's Thinking Aloud, supported by Iteris, Traffax, Inrix and Moxa, Paul Hutton, Kevin Borras and guest reporter Shelley Row bring you more from the 93rd Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board in Washington DC.

There will be at least two more Thinking Alouds from the TRB this week.

Thinking Aloud Gulf Traffic Highlights Show

In the last Thinking Aloud of 2013, Paul Hutton reviews the Gulf Traffic conference talking to, among others, representatives from TfL, TRL, Saaed, QMIC, Inrix, Cubic, Vitronic and Swarco.

Thinking Aloud will be back in January with more programmes, starting with a series of specials from the 93rd TRB Annual meeting in Washington, DC.
