Intelligent Transport Systems: Cases and Policies
ISBN: 9781840644470 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are expected to add considerable productivity to existing transportation infrastructure and to therefore partially reduce the need for more physical infrastructure such as additional lanes of roadway.

In this work a new outcome-orientated methodology is developed and applied to a diverse set of ITS case studies in an effort to gain insight into the barriers to deployment. The case studies, mostly from the National Capital Region (Washington) in the USA,...
