Prime Minister Kevin Rudd launches Australian Olympic technology

April 10th 2008. On his first official visit to China as Prime Minister of Australia, the Hon. Kevin Rudd, MP, launched SmartTrans’ EventTrack®, an advanced Australian technology export which will be used by major Olympic sponsors including Schenker Logistics and BHP Billiton to aid in the transport, management and safety of people and assets during the Beijing 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

EventTrack is the only system in the world designed to manage the unique and challenging requirements of VIP transport and human logistics at major events such as the Olympics.  Building on the success of its use during the Sydney 2000 Olympics, EventTrack is being rolled out in Beijing to manage the complex scheduling and transport requirements of VIP guests and personnel at Games-time.

SmartTrans CEO Bryan Carr says, “The EventTrack system not only ensures the security and safety of Olympic sponsors and other VIPs in Beijing, but provides them with a multi-faceted, multi-lingual communication platform incorporating location-based information and concierge services to ensure a great Olympic experience.  We are proud to have the Prime Minister’s support and recognition for this great Australian technology export.”
