Abstract

Today, many Asian and Pacific (AP) countries are accelerating deployment of transportation infrastructure. On the other hand, not only developing counties but also developed countries are suffering from urban traffic problems such as traffic congestion, accidents and environmental damage caused by heavy traffic due to dense population and rapid economic growth. In this situation, several countries are trying to solve these traffic problems by applying Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and achieving positive results. In order to facilitate the development and deployment of ITS in the entire Asian Pacific region, it is important to share the common understanding how to use ITS effectively to solve urban traffic problems, how to integrate information technology and transportation infrastructure and how to deploy a platform for ITS. This paper discusses about how to develop ITS as solution for urban traffic problems in AP countries.
