International Benefits Evaluation Community’s (8359 IBEC) new 'Evaluation of Intelligent Road Transport Systems: Methods and Results' handbook is being officially launched at this week's ITS World Congress.

After more than three decades of development and deployment of ITS, decision makers would like to know the impacts; researchers would like to study the new methods used and compare the results in different countries; industry partners would like to know the state of the art and the trends. Until now, there has been no book that provides such knowledge and insights. Its editor, IBEC vicechair Dr Meng Lu, who is strategic innovation manager at Netherlands-headquartered Dynniq, has orchestrated global content from expert contributors and institutional sources including 32 national ITS associations.

    Taking the long view of ITS
    Caroline Visser believes the ITS industry must present a coherent case for consideration of the technology to become part of transport policy and planning. As ITS advisor and road finance director for the International Road Federation (IRF) in Geneva, Caroline Visser is well placed to evaluate quantifying the benefits of ITS implementation – a topic about which there is little agreement and even less consistency. She is pressing to get some consistency in the evaluation of ITS deployments through the use of
