Planning and deployment of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are an essential part of Road Network Operations. There is a continuous process of project scoping, evaluation, detailed specification, and implementation leading to full deployment and operation. In practice the process is iterative, since deployment and operations will give rise to new requirements.

Transport professionals need guidance on:

  • ITS Planning and Deployment Frameworks
  • how to determine the priorities for investment in ITS
  • the respective roles of the public and private sectors
  • regulatory and contractual aspects
  • financing and procurement
  • ways to overcome the institutional barriers to deployment
  • future-proofing ITS

These topics are particularly significant for transport professionals working in the public sector. Others in the private and non-profit sectors will have an interest.
