The International Road Federation is pleased to support as a co-organiser the 4th TRB International Symposium on Freeway and Tollway Operations (ISFO) to be held on 26-30 June 2023 in Vienna under the theme “Innovation Advances Towards the Future of Managing Traffic”. The challenges lying before the road sector show the need to team up with other international platforms worldwide and to look beyond traditional traffic management to facilitate also multimodal mobility offers while tackling climate change. Innovative solutions and building blocks like digital transport infrastructure can open new paths for a sustainable, future-proofed traffic management. That is why ISFO 2023 will be an innovative event that will go beyond classic traffic management.

The Symposium will provide a platform for over 400 experts from the public and private sector: managers, traffic engineers, practitioners, and researchers to discuss and share their experiences with “The Future of Managing Traffic”. Industry leaders and specialists from around the globe will lead discussions on the challenges, research needs, and innovative approaches to collaboration with other agencies and service providers to improve the management and control of traffic on the surface transportation system.

The Symposium programme will include over 20 sessions such as plenary sessions, technical sessions with invited speakers, poster sessions, and workshops. Some of the key topics that will be addressed are:

Innovative Financing to Build and Operate Motorways, including use of incentives and pricing in traffic operational strategies.
Governance and Organisational Challenges covering multimodal aspects, integration of highway, cities and corridors, as well as public private collaboration.
Managing and Analysing Operational Strategies and Performance, including innovative methods to proactively manage and control traffic and addressing data, methods and tools.
Next Generation of Traffic Management Systems and Services, including the integration of traffic management centres and services towards a traffic management ecosystem, as well as incorporating mobility on-demand services into day-to-day traffic management.
