| Change from being a Consultant to become a Strategic Advisor Many ITS and transport practitioners want to add measurable value but they don't know where to start. The transport environment has fundamentally changed in the recent few years, and this change is speeding up exponentially. Apart from technology and system changes, the socio-economic-political context is changing, transport authorities and institutional structures as clients are radically transforming. So are the commuters who the transport systems must serve. The skill set with which we entered this space is no longer adequate. This master class is about how to become a strategic adviser who helps drive measurable business results and value by connecting the ITS and transport strategy to the business strategy. It will teach how to ask the right questions, identify the right business measures and develop and execute plans that create real ROI. | ||

| Visit to the Gibela Rail Factory and the SANRAL Central Operations Centre With a landmass of 1,22 million km2 (about 5 times the size of the UK) South Africa’s national road network and its rail system are critical infrastructure components. Any discussion on transport should rightly start by looking at its road and rail network. “Back to Rail” has been a clarion call. Gibela is spearheading the revitalisation of rail transport in South Africa’s metro areas – ushering in a new age of rail. Gibela is building a R1 billion facility in Dunnottar in Ekurhuleni, 50km east of Johannesburg. It is here that the majority of the trains for the rolling stock project will be built – initially 580 trains comprising 3,480 coaches. South Africa’s declared national road network stands well over 18 000km of which almost 2000 km is declared a toll road network. Transportation statistics have put traffic growth on our road network to about 6% per annum aggregate on some of our key routes including N3 and N1. Noteworthy is high volumes of heavy motor vehicles and commercial vehicles that conduct daily business of these key roads. SANRAL manages assets worth in excess of R30 billion, without land values. Sanral has implemented a state-of-art Incident and Freeway Management System. | ||
