Driven by the objectives of the NZTS, the development of ITS solutions to meet these defined needs have been structured into four categories: 1. Detection and monitoring of incidents, traffic and road conditions; 2. Traffic management mainly in urban areas but also to mitigate the effects of incidents and planned events; 3. Traveller information systems including collection, management and delivery; 4. Telecommunications services. The design, implementation and management of all ITS solutions will be guided by and form part of a National ITS Framework similar to overseas models comprising: 1. National ITS Architecture; 2. National Standards; 3. Defined ITS Processes. Once established all Transit ITS systems implemented will be defined within a standard ITS inventory. This in turn forms the basis for a detailed ITS Asset Management Plan feeding into the 10-year plan and National Land Transport Programme (NLTP) alongside other projects and maintenance functions.
