A new approach to appraisal for ITS

摘要

When looking at the international literature on the benefits of ITS, little is said about how differently ITS for traffic management has developed between countries.rnFor example, dynamic network management systems are highly developed in the UK, but it does not have to be the only method of tackling urban traffic congestion. Not many countries in the world have developed similar systems and they are not that widely used.rnThe Paris region for example, developed an extensive network of urban motorways and its traffic management focuses on travellers' information (radio station announcements and Variable Message Signs), limited ramp metering, motorway toll systems, accident identification and information exchange between the state and local highway authorities (public and private).
