"Traffic management" does possess one of the most important positions in "System Architecture for ITS in Japan", jointly developed by Japan's 5 relevant Agency and Ministries including the National Police Agency (NPA). Traffic management is a duty of NPA for the purposes of preventing traffic accidents and traffic related pollution while promoting transportation efficiencies. In order to produce sophisticated and effective traffic management systems, taking ITS technologies into account is mandatory. The Universal Traffic Management System (UTMS21) is an ITS based comprehensive system concept focused on the traffic management purposes being developed by the UTMS (society) of Japan which is an affiliated body of NPA. UTMS System Architecture therefore is to support and to logically explain the UTMS21 in conformance with System Architecture for ITS in Japan. (A*)
