Abstract

In 1997, the then UK's Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions (DTLR) launched a five year 6M research programme to support the development of open standards and new applications for urban traffic management with the aim of seeing the market develop for the supply and use of UTMC systems. In January 2001, the Programme embarked on its demonstration phase by awarding funds to four towns and cities to implement and showcase real-life UTMC systems. This Paper provides a brief review of the research work undertaken, the current position on the standards that UTMC is promoting, and the way these standards are being implemented at the four sites. Also covered will be the various issues that have so far been raised during the demonstrator projects, from working with suppliers to running an open data objects registry.
