This report presents the case for a secure frequency band of 5.850 to 5.925 GHz (referred to as 5.9 ITS ) for cooperative intelligent road transport systems that provides critical road safety and traffic efficiency outcomes. The report is the final…

This report describes the concept and definition of level of services (LOS) for specific road users that include on-road public transport, high occupancy vehicles (HOV) and emergency vehicles. It reviews current practices to improve their LOS and…

This report provides information on emerging technologies to improve the LOS of on-road public transport (ORPT), high-occupancy vehicles (HOVs) and emergency vehicles (EVs). A list of measures and technologies is compiled from this and earlier…

This report has reviewed ITS literature and information provided by industry to identify and establish the potential of candidate technologies to reduce undesirable interaction between freight vehicles and other traffic on metropolitan networks. The…

The Intelligent Access Program (IAP) is a voluntary program that remotely monitors heavy vehicles using telematics

High risk road contribute disproportionately to road deaths and injuries, and to the total costs of road trauma. The purpose of this study was to identify high risk groups in the driving population, assess the potential for ITS and in-vehicle…

This report is a guide to the approach and parameters for valuing road user benefits for use in economic evaluations of roadside Intelligent transport systems (ITS). It complements the Austroads Benefit Cost Analysis Manual. The objectives of the…

The aim of this Issues Paper is a further refinement and clarification of the ITS Workshop outcomes and so that the following is achieved: The identification of the extent and role of ITS applications and their potential impact of future road asset…

Despite rapid advances in ITS in recent years, it is unclear to what extent ITS is meeting community objectives such as reducing road casualties. The purpose of the present paper was to assess the possible safety impacts of ITS in Australia, with…
