Development and introduction of road informatics between 1997 and 2007 depends on a large number of societal processes. Assumptions made are: (1) Greater political and general importance of environment and traffic safety; (2) Increased international influence; (3) Increased demand for transport; (4) Commercial interest in road informatics; and (5) Accelerated pace of technological development. Road informatics will be applied to: trip planning; road user service; automatic charging; access restriction; driver control; disturbance management; parking management; urban traffic control; motorway control; metropolitan network control; route guidance; driver support; support for goods transport; information regarding bus stops; operational surveillance public transport; monitoring of traffic environment. Infrastructure for road informatics will comprise: digital road database; short distance communication; variable message signs; installations for traffic registration; road weather surveillance; electronic driving licences; traffic databases; central road traffic control. Road informatics according to the above can result in reduction of: (1) travel time in Sweden by 120m travel hours (6 per cent of total); (2) number of traffic fatalities by 30 annually (5 per cent); (3) severe injuries by 300 and light injuries by 1500 annually; and (4) Hydrocarbon (HC) emissions by 5000 tonnes annually (4 per cent); nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions by 3200 tonnes annually (3 per cent); CO2 emissions by 700,000 tonnes annually (3 per cent).
