OmniAir Consortium® is organizing a one-day workshop on advancing the connected mobility ecosystem in conjunction with the OmniAir Florida Plugfest.   

The Florida Department of Transportation is hosting the mobility conference and Plugfest testing event, along with Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise and the University of Florida Transportation Institute. Both events will occur at the SunTrax Testing Facility in Auburndale, Florida (May 1-5).   

OmniAir® is issuing a call for speakers. We invite leading ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems), automotive, and transportation experts from academia, government, and industry to submit proposals for the upcoming Plugfest today! We are interested in presentations on the following topics: 

• V2X testing and deployment around the world

• Connected Intersections and Infrastructure Deployments
• V2X for Protecting Vulnerable Road Users (use cases for pedestrians, bicycles, micro-mobility)

This in-person workshop will address key technical and policy issues on Wednesday, May 3, at the SunTrax visitor and conference center.   

The workshop will feature live C-V2X technology demonstrations, guided tours of C-V2X laboratory and field testing, and an opportunity for hands-on learning about C-V2X technology.
