Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are on the move. No longer confined to field trials and demonstrations, ITS are now mainstream activities. Integrated information, communications and control technologies have been shown to improve the way transportation works. ITS present opportunities and challenges to transportation managers, systems integrators, operators, designers and planners worldwide. To take advantage of all its new opportunities, and to meet its challenges, transportation professionals need to be fully informed on the development, potential, costs, benefits and track record of ITS technologies. Sponsored and compiled by PIARC’s Technical Committee on Network Operations (C14), this new, extended edition is an essential, all-in-one, practical reference guide. (Author/publisher)
