Overview
Background & policy context:
After the basis of Hungarian ITS strategy had been elaborated and approved, the Ministry of Transport decided to launch another R&D project aiming to assess the impacts of ITS on environment protection and transport infrastructure development and maintenance. So this project concentrated on a certain part of ITS applications prioritised by the decision makers. This issues are namely the most 'burning' questions in Hungarian transport system and polcy.
Objectives:
The main objectives set by the project can be summarised as follows:
- identifying the relevant trends influencing the use of transport infrastructure and the environment pollution caused by transport activities;
- reviewing the available ITS tools applicable for enhancing the efficiency or lowering the negative impacts of transport infrastructure use;
- giving recommendations on the implementation of appropriate ITS tools by taking special Hungarian circumstances also into account.
