Deploying ITS: Strategic Planning and Implementation

Strategic planning for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) involves the adoption of a structured approach to maximize the probability that once the system is implemented you get what you want. By definition, it also minimizes the probability of undesirable side effects or getting things that you do not want. Given that ITS technology is evolving rapidly, the structured approach should also provide a framework for adding new technologies and products. This course has been developed on the basis of a number of years of practical experience in assisting public agencies and private companies to conduct strategic planning for ITS.
