DEVELOPMENT OF INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM (ITS) MASTER PLAN IN TAIWAN
CY Chang, Iic Chen · 2001
The Institute of Transportation (IOT) has begun its task on the development of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) master plan to govern the guidelines for development and deployment in Taiwan since 1999. After accomplishing master plan in 2001, the IOT continues its task to study on ITS system architecture (SA) and ITS benefits evaluation. The main objective of this paper is to present the developing process and content of the master plan and system architecture in Taiwan. This research establishes the master plan and SA by reviewing worldwide development experiences and considering the subjective/objective conditions in Taiwan. Through the traffic problems analysis, policy goals identification, and supply/demand survey procedure, six policy goals and four transportation goals with fourteen objectives are decided in the master plan. Besides, seven developing areas with twenty-one user service items are also specified. Based on the user service items, this study proposes implementation strategies framework, schedules and organizations finally. By following the developed master plan and system architecture and updating the content routinely, it is hoped that facilities Interconnectability, data Interchangeability, operation Interoperability (3I) and Consistency, Compatibility (2C) will be achieved when implementing services in the near future.
