Kapsch TrafficCom announced that Lauri Brady, its Vice President of Sales and Emerging Technologies for North America, was elected to the board of directors of the OmniAir Consortium, considered the leading transportation industry proponent of certification and interoperability for connected vehicles, intelligent transportation systems, and tolling systems.
Brady’s leadership appointment, Kapsch stated, aligns with the firm’s position “as one of the industry leaders in the global transportation technology sector, as well as its commitment to the interoperability and high standards needed for safer, more efficient systems.” JB Kendrick, Kapsch TrafficCom North America President, commented, “This appointment not only recognizes Lauri’s expertise and leadership but also strengthens our collaboration with OmniAir.”
Following her election, Ms. Brady was named chair of OmniAir’s Certification Working Group, which is tasked with developing the policies and procedures that govern OmniAir testing and certification programs. This year, the group will have an additional mission, addressing “issues related to public policy and regulations, as they impact OmniAir’s certification programs.”
Kapsch noted that Jose Dios, the New Jersey Turnpike Authority’s CIO, was also elected to the OmniAir board in December, while Nick Hegemier, Managing Director of Infrastructure and Technology at DriveOhio, and Jeffrey Dailey, Assistant Executive Director of Operations for the North Texas Tollway Authority, received new board terms.
