In the last years the application of intelligent transport systems is rapidly expanding in the highly motorised countries, just like in Hungary. The MARABU was the first plan of traffic regulation - and information system - on the M0 motorway. It was finalised in 1993 and it was followed by the MAESTRO project on the M3 motorway and the MONARCHY on the M1. Once the system plans were finalised, the implementation on the field of collective, integrated traffic regulating and information systems was also started. The first phase of the MAESTRO system was finished in 1998 and the gradual implementation of the MARABU project was also started. The implementation of individual traffic regulating and information systems was also moved forward.

Touch-pad terminals are operating in parts of Budapest, an experimental project of a pre-journey information system called IKTA is under preparation, the GSM as standard for data and information transfer is ready and the GPS and DGPS system in Hungary is also applicable. The Ministry of Economy and Transport is member of ERTICO, the association coordinating the application of the European telematics systems. If not already partially operating, the implementation of integrated, collective, changeable traffic regulating and informatics systems using variable message signs are expected in the near future on the Hungarian road network.  This project is focusing on the traffic safety impacts of these systems.
