Economic Growth and Development «
Better roads, better world.

Worldwide Challenges in Road Transport
1. Environment Protection
2. Congestion Reduction
3. Road Safety
4. Financing of Infrastructure
Better roads, better world.

The Role of Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS)
for Sustainable Mobility
in Road Transport
Better roads, better world.
INTERNATIONAL ROAD FEDERATIONFEDERATION ROUTIERE INTERNATIONALE
What is Sustainable Mobility?1. Sustainable Mobility for People and Goods =
Safe (Accidents, Fatalities) Environmental Friendly (CO2 neutral) Efficient (Cost Effective, Lowest Congestion) User Friendly, Accessible
2. Sustainable Mobility is a Human Right ? 3. Sustainable Mobility is a prec for economic growth!

A policy is typically described as a set of principles or rules to guide decisions and
achieve described objectives.
What are (ITS) Policies?
Better roads, better world.

Why Policy is important for ITS Deployment
• Exchange of knowledge • Sharing of best practices • Simplification of legislation • Standard setting and facilitating interoperability • Guidance and raising awareness• New legislation, if necessary; and • Coordination to make better use for the available funding.
To achieve the required cooperation towards solving mobility challenges, ITS deployment involves;

ITS deployment is being influenced by many policy areas• Mobility policies: acknowledging the role and importance of transport and
mobility for social and economic integration and development of regions, states and nations
• Environment policies: aiming to protect the environment (air, noise, water, soil, natural habitat), to mitigate current environment impacts of transport and to adapt transport infrastructure to changing conditions due to climate change
• Transport funding and investment policies: determining the funding sources, revenues and priorities for transport infrastructure investment, maintenance and operation
• Spatial planning policies: determining the physical grid and spacing of different functions such as living, studying, working, relaxing and hence impacting on mobility needs.
• Social policies: shaping the social context in which people use transport such as accessibility, affordability, connectivity (of modes), timing due to working and related activities

Financing road infrastructure
Optimising traffic flow,
reduce congestion
Protecting the environment
Improving road safety
ITS Policy Objectives to address the challenges
Better roads, better world.
INTERNATIONAL ROAD FEDERATIONFEDERATION ROUTIERE INTERNATIONALE
ITS for financing of road infrastructure
Government budgets are insufficient to fund widening and maintenance of road infrastructure
Role of ITS Apply the “User pays
principle” to finance road infrastructure (ear-marked funding) and to internalize external costs
Finance general budget, to cross-finance other modes of transport and to make road transport directly comparable (in prices) to other modes of transport
Better roads, better world.

ITS to optimize traffic flow & reduce congestion
Urban Congestion in the US: 4,2 billion hours wasted
in traffic jams, = US $ 87 billion
congestion costs (2007)
Congestion in the European Union: 1,9 % of GDP “eaten” by
congestion, = € 233 billion
congestion costs
Role of ITS : Create a traffic management
tool or “steering mechanism” to make better use of existing infrastructure, to optimize capacity of the network and to better distribute traffic
Apply pricing strategies to set incentives to users to choose different routes, different departure times or different modes of transport
Assure high level of service to travellers (provision of real time information, smooth traffic, ..)
Better roads, better world.

ITS for protecting the environment
WHO - World Health Organization: Urban air pollution kills ~ 1.2 million people annually!
Role of ITS: Reduce emissions through
smoothed traffic Adapt drivers behavior to
real time situation (e.g. high particulate concentration, slippery lanes, ..)
Assure seamless linkages between different modes of transport to offer the “greenest” routing
Show one’s carbon footprint and valorize ecological behavior (e.g. mobility card/points, ..)
Better roads, better world.
INTERNATIONAL ROAD FEDERATIONFEDERATION ROUTIERE INTERNATIONALE
ITS to improve road safety
United Nations: 1,3 million “road
deaths” a year ! 50 million people
injured ! Costing society
100 billion US$ annually
Role of ITS Provide real time
information to users ( conditions of road, weather, traffic flow, ..)
Smoothen traffic flow and prevent speed variations
Enforce speeding Detect incidents, shorten
reaction times for appropriate rescue measures
