CREATING A STRATEGY FOR THE EXPANSION OF THE NATIONAL DRIVER INFORMATION AND CONTROL SYSTEM, TRAFFIC SCOTLAND (FORMERLY NADICS).

The Scottish Intelligent Transport System, Traffic Scotland (formerly NADICS), monitors the trunk road network and provides real time driver information. It forms a key element in Transport Scotland's strategy to develop its transport network, supporting a smart, successful Scotland. The system manages the movement of vehicles, freight and people on a national, multiple classification trunk road network. To enhance and expand the system, a strategy has been developed providing a flexible tool for determining the most appropriate ITS infrastructure on each classification of trunk road. Furthermore a matrix has been developed determining the priority of infrastructure implementation. For the covering abstract see ITRD E134653.
