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.

    January 23, 2012
    David Crawford detects a market for European experience. Well-established now in at least three European countries, Hard Shoulder Running (HSR) on motorways is exciting growing interest in the US. A November 2010 Report to Congress by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), on the Efficient Use of Highway Capacity, notes the role of HSR in the European-style Active Traffic Management (ATM) strategies now being recommended for implementation in the US where, until recently, they were virtually unknown.
