Abstract

The focus of the present paper is on the role of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in addressing road capacity issues, and delivering environmental benefits. For this purpose, three ITS technologies are selected: Driver Assistance Systems (DAS); Automated Highway System (AHS) for passenger traffic; and Commercial Vehicle Operations (CVO) for freight traffic, based on the profile of their characteristics and the projected implementation pathways. These are further evaluated as to their potential for improving the road capacity of the TEN-T European network; achieving fuel savings; and reducing CO2 emissions.
