More than 30 ministers and vice ministers from various countries will attend the "20th Suwon Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Asia-Pacific Congress" to be held in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province this May.
The Suwon ITS Asia-Pacific Congress Organizing Committee announced on the 7th that it has decided to invite ministers and vice ministers from over 30 Asia-Pacific countries to the Suwon Congress.
ITS refers to a transportation system that efficiently manages traffic information through advanced transportation technology and enhances traffic efficiency and safety through scientific and automated operations.
The ITS Asia-Pacific Congress has been held annually since it began in 1996 in Tokyo, Japan, except for the years when the ITS World Congress is held in the Asia-Pacific region.
