Abstract

CSIRO is undertaking a study to establish the value of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) for ameliorating growing environmental, economic and social impacts of increasing traffic in urban areas. This paper, reporting results from early stages of the work, discusses the benefits of estimating the relative impacts of alternative ITS measures at a detailed level across entire urban areas. The benefits of applying these estimates to calculate, over time, monetary savings of early application of ITS and some approaches to estimation are introduced. The approaches are illustrated via a case study which shows how, at a strategic planning level, estimates of the value of ITS as major tools for reducing traffic disbenefits can be obtained in a cost effective manner.
