Demonstration Pavilion · ITSMW26
Experience Smart Mobility in Motion
A live outdoor showcase of connected, automated, and intelligent transportation technologies, in partnership with the ITS Midwest 2026 Conference & Expo.
Demonstrate to the full 4-state ITS Midwest region — Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois — including many potential Ohio municipalities.
Open to the public — not just conference attendees. Smart mobility the community can see, touch, and experience firsthand.
Indoor booths get attention. Live demonstrations create demand.
Transportation agencies want to see technology operating in real-world conditions, not just on slides. The Pavilion puts your solution in front of the people deploying it.
Live V2X Demonstration Corridor
Real-world conditions
An outdoor corridor where connected and automated systems run live, not as a static booth display.
The right audience
Direct access to the DOTs, toll agencies, and deployers making procurement and policy decisions.
Limited by design
Outdoor capacity is intentionally capped to maximize visibility and engagement for each participant.
Open to the public
A free, hands-on showcase where residents, families, and decision-makers experience interoperable smart mobility in person — not behind a badge.

A Public Showcase
Smart Mobility, Brought to the People
The Demonstration Pavilion isn't a closed-door industry event. It's open to the public — residents, families, voters, and the taxpayers whose investment makes this technology possible. Visitors don't just hear about connected and automated mobility; they ride it, touch it, and see interoperable systems working together in the open.
See it work
Live, interoperable technologies operating together in real conditions, not slideware.
Experience the benefit
Hands-on rides and demonstrations that make smart mobility tangible for everyday people.
Public, press & community
A showcase that reaches the voters and taxpayers who fund the future of transportation.
