There has been increased interest
throughout the world in improving transit services through
the introduction of intelligent transportation systems
(ITS). ITS can be defined as a set of technologies intended
to improve the quality or efficiency of transit services
primarily by providing the appropriate information at the
appropriate time in an appropriate form to transit staff and
transit customers. The World Bank has participated in the
financing of several ITS systems in China. Given the
complexity of these projects and their potential for
dramatic transformation of transit operating agencies, it is
worthwhile to provide some guidance to senior staff from
transit systems contemplating ITS projects as well as
decision-makers external to the transit operating
organizations The World Bank commissioned a series of three
papers to assist in this effort. This first paper is a
description of the key ITS applications for transit
operations and where they are most beneficial. This second
paper reviews a number of previous installations and reports
on lessons learned, both positive and negative, in the hope
of maximizing the effectiveness of technology in improving
transit services. The third is a set of Terms of Reference
(TOR's) for professional services associated with ITS
project management to assist in project implementation these
papers focus more on the organizational and planning issues
associated with ITS. This guidance is primarily directed to
bus transit operators, including those with bus rapid
transit (BRT) services. However, the sections on fare
collection and traffic signal priority may have some
application to streetcar or light rail transit. Vehicle
location on such systems is usually accomplished by a signal
system used to control switching between tracks. This note
serves as an introduction to the topic of ITS for transit.
In it, we introduce the various ITS technologies, identify
their benefits, and the range of applications where their
use is most appropriate. The interaction among technologies
in providing information useful to transit system management
is also discussed. Of equal importance, we have found that
successful implementation of ITS depends not only on the
technology but also on the institutional environment in
which they are implemented. Since the introduction of
technology fundamentally changes the nature of traditional
managerial and staff processes, organizations which are able
to embrace change and alter their methods of doing business
will be more likely to fully benefit from these
installations. Accordingly, this paper discusses some of the
institutional and organizational factors associated with ITS
implementation. From the outset, this note does not advocate
for the implementation of specific ITS technologies. |
