The rapid development of transport telematics and common problems of different nations have produced international efforts to study, plan and implement ITS applications. This paper discusses the organisational and behavioural aspects of these projects in the light of organisational theories and one case project. In fact, the discussion that follows is applicable to any international and national project aiming at practical in situ measures. Only by emphasising the form of co-operation can a successful end result be achieved from an organisational point of view. It is argued that international efforts initiated by public organisations may often fail to recognise the local and regional needs and what is more important, the involvement and commitment of those people and organisations who are expected to implement international and national plans and strategies.
