Abstract

New guidance has been published which aims to complement the previously published 'New Technology in Transport - Improving Network Management' resource pack and the Department's Guidance on Transport Analysis, which provides specific advice on: • the selection of ITS tools to meet policy objectives; • the benefits & costs of ITS deployment; • what others have done to incorporate ITS within transport plans; and • lessons learnt from their experience. The Guidance, 'Understanding the benefits and costs of Intelligent Transport Systems: A toolkit Approach', is aimed at decision makers who identify strategic goals to help achieve local and national transport objectives, and transport planners who undertake the more technical aspects of a project, fulfilling the decision maker's strategic requirements. Together these documents will help authorities assess the business case for investment in ITS and identify how best to use ITS to meet their own, local challenges, and further supports the recently issued LTP guidance (Second Edition - December 2004).
