INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEMS AND SERVICES (ITS): New challenges for system developers and researchers

摘要

ITS is an emerging and interesting area for business and systems developers, because ITS creates new and interesting opportunities for using mobile information technology. In previous sections a number of areas have been discussed which we have to learn more about in order to be able to develop ITS. The reason for this is that ITS have special features which will make the business and systems development challenging in a number of ways, which also means that the development of these services will be different compared to traditional systems development. This implies that there is a need of knowledge development in these areas, but most of all there is a need for people who are able to integrate knowledge from these areas. There are specialists in GIS, transport modeling and information systems development but few people who are able to integrate knowledge from different areas. This is a major problem because knowledge and systems integration will be a key factor in order to develop ITS.
