摘要

IRANSINPOL is a strategic transport research project for the European Commission, DG VII, which addresses the integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) and services, of navigation and payment Systems in transport. Theobjective of the project is to provide policy requirements for the development and deployment of ICT in transport and to develop a framework for policy assessment which supports policy makers in their task to identity new opportunities by indicating therelationships and links between transport, ICT and policy. Furthermore, the project provides background information on all issues that policy makers may encounter in defining policies for the integration of ICT in transport. A major issue to be considered is the interaction between private and public actors in the field,The paper indicates what kind of concepts, systems or services are appropriate or required with a focus on the contribution of ICT services and systems to the realisation of Common Transport Policy (CTP) objectives. It describes the main problems that can be solved and/or tackled through the integration of ICT systems and services in transport and presents the major challenges in development and deployment of ICT services and systems at a European level. Traffic management as well as travel and trafficinformation issues will mainly be addressed in this paper which serves as an input to a panel discussion of the topic.
