ASIA - London-based Global Transport Forum (GTF) has joined forces with Asian Exhibition Services (AES) on its rail and metro technology event, SmartRailAsia 2014.
The third edition of the event will be held on 26-28 November, across 5,000sqm at the Bangkok International Trade Exhibition Centre (BITEC) in Thailand. More than 2,000 visitors and 100 exhibitors are expected to attend.
SmartRail is also supported by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning, and the Asia-Pacific Sustainable Transport Foundation, and is part of a SmartRail series with editions organised in Europe and USA.
According to GTF, the partnership with the Bangkok-based organiser will see SmartRail benefit from Bangkok being the hub of the region’s booming rail and metro expansion programmes accounting for US$60 billion of Southeast Asia’s current rail investments of over US$200 billion.
The third edition of SmartRail will feature a co-located conference with more than 100 senior speakers addressing safety critical signalling and communications systems, floor innovation seminars and technical insights into IT, ticketing systems and rolling stock technology.
