Conclusion: Conclusion ITS is the application of information technologies related to Knowledge Economy ITS is not technology only for the developed countries ITS requires additional knowledge ITS Toolkit, http://www.developingits.org/itstoolkit, provides additional knowledge on ITS Should we recommend ITS to our clients? Yes, if clients have interest and capability.


Annex examples of benefit: Annex examples of benefit Shorter Traveling Times: According to FHWA’s ITS Benefits: 2001 Update, on-board navigation experiment for one year showed delay reduction of 8.1% and fuel consumption decrease of 3%. Increased Capacity and Throughput: FHWA’s ITS Benefits: 2001 Update points out that the freeway management system in Minneapolis – Saint Paul increased the throughput by 16.3%. Improved User Satisfaction: In Michigan, U.S., 72% of the surveyed drivers felt better off because of signal control improvement. Reduced Environmental Burdens: ERTICO’s ITS Toolbox gives the example of the PROMT project for influence on air pollution, mentioning a simulated 23.3% reduction of vehicle stoppage, 5% reduction of fuel consumption and 4 to 5% decrease of CO2, NOX and CO emissions in Gothenburg, Sweden. Less Traffic Rule Violations and Unlawful Use of Roads: There have also been reports of these cameras resulting in a 15% to 40% reduction in accidents caused by drivers failing to heed traffic signals (Research in Europe).
