This leaflet is one of a series of documents from the ITS Assist Project. ITS Assist is a Department for Transport (DfT) initiative that aims to encourage and promote across the UK the use of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) as tools to implement local transport policy objectives. ITS Assist will provide advice, guidance and information to local authorities on developing and deploying ITS. As part of this process, the Project Team will produce a series of Advisory Leaflets and Notes as well as Technical Papers. These documents will be updated on a regular basis and made available via the Internet, and on request from the DfT or the ITS Assist Team. This leaflet provides a brief overview of ITS, discussing: its role within Transport Policy; some reported benefits of ITS; examples of DfT ITS initiative; and ITS Deployment Planning.
