What is ITS?
ITS can be defined as: the application of advanced
technologies (computers, sensors, control, communications and electronic devices) in transportationto save lives, time, money, energy and the environment
A tool to help us do our jobs better !
Not an end in itself !

Suggested Planning Procedures for Implementation of
Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)
ITS Mini - Workshop
Belgrade, 3 April 2009
![Page 14: Intelligent Transport System for Republic of Serbia](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012506/6181960169f43915471068d8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

ITS Strategic Planning Process
Failing to Plan
is
Planning to Fail
![Page 15: Intelligent Transport System for Republic of Serbia](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012506/6181960169f43915471068d8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Why plan strategically?
An ITS Strategic Plan is a roadmap
It sets the direction, pace and priorities of investments
over a relatively long term period in a coordinated and
focused manner
It clearly defines the ultimate goal and the steps
required to achieve it
![Page 16: Intelligent Transport System for Republic of Serbia](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012506/6181960169f43915471068d8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Why an ITS Strategic Plan?
Get the most for our ITS dollars
Separate the what from the how
Anticipate challenges
Ensure system integration
Develop new tools for solving transportation problems
![Page 17: Intelligent Transport System for Republic of Serbia](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012506/6181960169f43915471068d8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

31
Workshop Outcomes
Steering committee consideration / suggestion
Potential investigation / list of interested stakeholders
Preliminary investigation of municipal and metropolitan authorities involvement in planning / deployment of future Serbian ITS
Preliminary investigation of funding needs, tools and potential partnership opportunities
Preliminary list of user requirements, short terms and long – ultimate objective
Pilot preliminary design – project exercise for limited deployment of ITS, say traffic management system
![Page 23: Intelligent Transport System for Republic of Serbia](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012506/6181960169f43915471068d8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
32
Some of the Preliminary Steps (...observations...)
Training of the Project Steering Committee, determine Support Team and Technical Team (workshops, direct training, seminars, case studies, round-tables…)
Assessment of Existing Situation in Serbia in regards to available Data-sources, systems and processes.
Review of successfully designed - implemented ITS and/or GIS in EU member states and other developed counters – surroundings
Development of Framework for the Introduction of Intelligent Transportation System in Republic of Serbia
Proposed Intelligent Transportation System Inventory, short and ultimate objectives, deployment strategy and potential staging
![Page 24: Intelligent Transport System for Republic of Serbia](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012506/6181960169f43915471068d8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
33
Pilot Project (...suggestion...)
Design and Implementation of Intelligent Transportation System for:
Belgrade Ring Road
Preliminary feasibility study with Inventory of proposed ITS : traffic management, vehicle control and safety, public transport, traveller information, electronic payment (potentially), commercial vehicles, emergency management, road weather information, information warehousing…)
Staged deployment - first stage already constructed section, the second -ultimate stage upon completion (..underground provisions..)
Defining the roles, funding strategy development, major players identification, teaming…based on the previous experience (..pending of the ITS scope..), the investment value is at the level of 2.3 to 2.5 mill Euros, in total
![Page 25: Intelligent Transport System for Republic of Serbia](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012506/6181960169f43915471068d8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
34
Pilot Project – Major Benefits (..some..)
Huge, already mentioned benefits to the motorists and traveling public (domestic and international)
Significant increase in traffic safety – reduction in traffic accidents, overall number and severity.
Putting Serbia on the ITS map in the Region and EU.
Becoming knowledgeable, experienced and responsible owners of the road system
Attraction of alternatives funding opportunities 9once in place –interested parties will show up, EU Banks, World bank, Development and aid funds, contractors….)
Opportunity of ITS - associated industry and development
manufacturers, employments, public awareness….
Relatively low risk, start – up investment / capital
