An 6022 ITS toolkit, developed within the 2Decide project funded by the 1690 European Commission DG Move (Mobility & Transport), is now publicly available free of charge (registration is required).

The Toolkit – funded through the EC’s 7th Framework Programme for Research & Development – covers intelligent transport systems for road and public transport applications. It can be used to search for ITS applications relevant to specific context (geographical region, area of transport, problem or policy goal). It can also be used to obtain expected values and ranges for benefits of applications (where data is available), based on evaluation reports of real deployments, or to access structured summaries of ITS deployment case studies, evaluations and full reports, where these are publicly available.

By 2025, nearly 60% of the world’s population will be living in towns and cities, increasing their extent and density, and the journeys that people make within and between them. In response, the International Association of Public Transport (UITP) wants to see public transport’s global modal share doubling (PTx2) by the same date. “Success in 2025,” a spokesperson told ITS International, “will save 170 million tonnes of oil equivalent and 550
