The steady growth in car ownership and traffic levels in towns has led to an increasing congestion despite improvements in traffic management and other government measures. Options to increase road capacity are often not available and there is now evidence that increasing road capacity can generate additional traffic.
Therefore, today’s Transport Authorities are facing an outstanding challenge about achieving sustainability, worsening congestion, reducing pollution and emissions and growing customer needs.
To respond to this challenge, Transport Authorities are more and more getting stated with the Intelligent Transport Systems Technologies because they have understood they can’t go on just focusing on the addition of new roads and transit facilities but they have to improve efficiency through a better management of routes, drivers and vehicles.
Moreover, for most towns and cities Buses represent the key form of public transport, providing an essential transportation service but usually sharing road space with other traffic over significant parts of the network. This means buses can then suffer from the same delays as other traffic when congestion builds up.
ITS Technologies can help Buses moving fast and provide a customer-based services while reducing pollution and traffic congestion.
