TIPS ON WHAT TO SUBMIT

1. Outcomes are vital. What purpose does your technology or tech-enabled solution serve? Are there any metrics or case studies you can use to demonstrate this?
2. How will it enable a better future of transport? Primarily, we want to know how your technology/solution/research will enable a better future of transport. This is not always easy with new technology, but if you can demonstrate outcomes or impacts through project details, trial and research results, modelling, or case studies, that will be viewed positively.
3. Is it new or different? Is there a way in which your technology/solution/research is considered new or different? If so, please tell us about it - but it doesn't necessarily have to be new or different to be accepted. It might be related to fresh developments, new outcomes, or changing policy implications.
4. Is it relevant for New Zealand? Local and international examples are welcome, but please ensure you explain why it is relevant to a New Zealand audience and why it is relevant both now and in the future.
5. Is it future-focused? The past is important but T-Tech is future-focused. How does the foundation you are building now, lead to a better tomorrow?

WHAT TOPICS ARE RELEVANT FOR T-TECH? Below are examples of topics we have included in past T-Tech conferences. You are not limited by this list, as we expect new topics to be included as the field of Transport Technologies and Intelligent Transport Systems grows and evolves over time.
