7 What is ITS? 7

8 ITS in Road Transport Roads Cars Travellers ITS More Comfort Higher Efficiency Better Safety Less Impact on Environment 8

9 ITS applications today vehicle related Vehicle control systems - active safety (ABS, ESP, etc.) Advanced Driver Assistance Systems - Preventive Safety On-board route guidance and navigation Monitoring traffic and road conditions Control and management of freight fleets and loading units Car-to-car communication 9

10 ITS applications today infrastructure related Monitoring traffic and road conditions Traffic management Traffic and traveler information systems Control and management of parking, onstreet and in parking areas Control and management of traffic-lights Asfinag Asfinag 10

11 ITS applications today - Vehicle and Infrastructure Electronic tolling and enforcement Monitoring and management of transits and routes Traffic infraction detection devices and enforcement systems pre-trip information on-board information systems for user information and data exchange 11

12 ITS Applications Tomorrow ecall Cooperative systems for traffic management Advanced driver assistance systems in vehicles Integrated Communication (VII) Vehicle to Vehicle Infrastructure to Vehicle Infrastructure to Infrastructure Combining information from various sources, with consistent driver/passenger information Improved management of incidents 12

13 Why is the use of ITS still limited? always one step ahead Telematics too complex? Lack of public awareness, must be understandable for everybody Must be non-discriminatory No cost benefit understanding? For Customers For Road Operators Insufficient funding? Missing policies and legal framework? 13

14 Remember the challenges 14

15 Main Challenges 1. Congestion 2. Accidents 3. Financing 4. Environment 15

16 Main Challenges 1. Congestion Huge growth rates, for freight and passenger transport Mounting congestion, costing e.g. in the EU : ~1% of GDP In the U.S. : ~$ 2.1 bn 16

17 Main Challenges 2. Accidents 22.8% of global injuries happen in road traffic WHO, million people die in road accidents per year WHO, 2001 Traffic injuries will increase by 2020 to rank 3 (1990: rank 9) WORLD REPORT ON ROAD TRAFFIC INJURY 17

18 Main Challenges 3. Financing Financial requirements in Europe: 250bn required until 2020 for TEN-V projects 600bn required to finalize TEN projects The EU budget is 8bn only! Thus, additional sources of financing are required, e.g. user based financing by tolling & road user charging, with Concessions, PPP, PFI, Source: EC, DGTREN, 2007, Thielmann 18

19 Main Challenges 4. Environment protection Mobility is growing, will cause permanent increase of pollution Historical centres & city centres are suffocating in traffic Urban traffic is responsible for ~40% of CO 2 emissions arising from road transport Impact of transport on environment: Global Warming always one step ahead 19

20 Key Problems in Transport in Europe The European Commission has identified the following key problems faced by European transport: The loss of 40,000 lives each year on EU roads Road crash costs in Europe cost 1.5% of GDP The consumption of 30% of all the EU s energy by transport Mounting congestion, costing the EU economy 1% of its GDP The cost impacts form transportation on the environment is estimated with 1.1% of GDP The threat from terrorism to transport 20

21 How can ITS help? 21

22 Vision: Every Car has an On Board Unit to Serve ITS Tolling Parking Access Control Traffic Management 1. Congestion relief 2. Accidents reduction 3. Financing 4. Environment protection Payment In Car Information Fleet Management Hazardeous Goods Management 22

23 1. ITS to reduce congestion 23

24 Congestion Mitigation by Traffic Management Better utilization of existing infrastructure Traffic Management for trip planning, congestion mitigation, and intermodal transportation Intelligent mobility solutions and transport demand management Co-modal logistics chains which optimize the use of transport infrastructure Urban Charging Schemes 24

25 2. ITS to reduce accidents 25

26 Challenge - Road Safety Worldwide, 1.2 million people die in road accidents per year (WHO, 2001) 26

27 The Haddon Matrix Source: WHO World report on road traffic injury prevention

28 Positive Effects due to ITS Positive Effects due to ITS 28

29 ITS to reduce fatalities Speed monitoring and enforcement Wrong way driving detection Alcohol detection and engine locking Traffic Information ecall 29

30 Speed Limiting Instruments Automatic speed enforcement reduces road traffic deaths and serious injuries by 14%. Enforcement by police officers achieves a 6% reduction. (WHO) Publicizing the presence of speed cameras or radar reduces the incidence of crash and injury substantially. Speed limits are a matter of driver education and strong enforcement. Integrated speed monitoring better than punctual speed monitoring: Section Speed Monitoring. *) WHO World report on road traffic injury prevention

31 Section Speed Monitoring by Digital Image Processing Principle: The license plate of the vehicle is stored with a time stamp at the begin and at the end of the road section, and the elapsed time is measured. Example: Distance from A to B is 8 km Maximum allowed speed is 80 km/h 8 km Must results in minimum travel time of 6 minutes If time is e.g. 5 minutes, then speed is 96 km/h!!! 12.00h 12.00h A 12.06h 12.05h B 31

32 Detection of Wrong Way Drivers always one step ahead Intelligent digital video camera installed at exits If a vehicle with wrong driving direction is detected, the following actions are started: report to a traffic control centre alarming police warning of drivers on that particular stretch of the road Wrong direction! Intelligent Digital Video Camera right 32

33 Hazardous Goods Management (HGM) Integrated Data Management by: Actual information on the load of the vehicle is stored in the OBU - On Board Unit - and in the back office Examples: 1. In case of accidents an emergency action plan is started 2. Trucks are identified at critical locations, e.g. when approaching tunnels, and the trucks are spaced before entering the tunnel 33

34 Plan for Austria: Reduction of Accidents until 2010 always one step ahead 34

35 Do we have faith in our road safety efforts? 35

36 3. ITS to finance infrastructure 36

37 Bottlenecks in Financing of Infrastructure Bottlenecks in financing of road infrastructure exist for: New Roads Extensions Maintenance (e.g. bridges) Impacts of lack of financing: Reduced quality of roads accidents Work zone completion is delayed congestion and accidents New roads can not be built congestion Action: mobilize all available sources of financing, and improve the finance engineering tools: Concessions, PPP, PFI, BOT Road User Charging & Electronic Tolling for trucks and/or all vehicles 37

38 Intentions for Tolling Revenue collection for the service at bridges, tunnels, or sections of a road, or regions, in cities, or nationwide, or first level roads only, or all roads, Support of national taxation, or financing of PPP, BOT, PFI schemes User based charging instead of time based fees to consider Environmental interests Behavior change Traffic Management (FCD) 38

39 Why Multi-Lane Free-Flow? MLFF toll gantry MLFF toll gantry No obstruction of traffic no congestion caused by toll scheme Open Access to the network: no barriers on exit and entry ramps Tolling Gantries in each section of the Motorway MLFF toll gantry MLFF toll gantry 39

40 Why Interoperability? 40

41 Why Standards? 41

42 Solutions, based on standards always one step ahead Source: Booz Allen Hamilton 42

43 4. ITS to help the Environment 43

44 ITS to help the environment Traffic Light synchronization green waves Urban goods logistics delivery management Traffic Management & Direction Instructions Temporary one way traffic diversions to ease flow Motorway congestion measures variable speed limits Ramp metering Construction site congestion management Improved vehicle control using external sources of data Source: Ertico Think Tank

45 ITS to Develope High Quality Urban Transport The most effective measures to reduce traffic volumes in urban areas are: 1. Charging (e.g. the London Congestion Charging) 2. Access restrictions (e.g. the Zone a Traffico Limitato in Rome) 3. Parking management (e.g. Winchester, Rotterdam). Although there is no technologic challenge in introducing these measures, the political challenge is considerable 45

46 Conclusions 46

47 ITS Brings Benefits For the Traveller For the Operator For the Provider Ertico 47

48 ITS Mitigates Road Transport Problems ITS is an effective tool to mitigate the major problems caused by road transport: Congestion Accidents Financing Pollution 48

49 We need more ITS Why? Better road service Improved road safety Protection of the environment Reduction of congestion How? Proper policies and financing Standards Projects Partnerships And 49
