Technology Transfer into Intelligent Transport Systems

ITS enjoys a symbiotic relationship with many industries. In this paper technology transfer into ITS is described in relation to communications systems (infrastructure, in-vehicle, roadside and vehicle-to-vehicle systems), ultra wide band radar, decision support systems and machine vision systems. The importance of policy in supporting intelligent transport systems ITS is rapidly becoming a mature discipline for communicating with drivers,managing traffic, distributing data and observing traffic. This maturity requires the adoption of techniques to ensure introduction of ITS solutions alongside a developed policy for their use, and all the institutional issues addressed. In the past ITS implementations have often been driven purely by the technical ability to develop a solution. These ITS solutions have contributed to the developing discipline but have not always been suitable for widespread implementation. In the development of a policy for the distribution of CCTV images a rigorous methodology was followed to derive the issues and the video information highway (VIH) was the technical solution created to address them. The result was an open system that assisted the policy, complied with legislative requirements and addressed the institutional issues.For the covering abstract see ITRD E134522
