The ITS (UK) Vision for ITS in the UK

摘要

At an ITS (UK)/ DfT Workshop exploring the next steps in the DfT Technical Architecture Project, many attendees felt that there was a need for a clearer vision of what ITS should provide in the UK long term, over and above the short-term DfT policy framework already in place. This would complement and future-proof the valuable work already underway developing the framework with emphasis on short- and medium-term factors. Many present at that workshop were involved in work already developed within their organisations' research programmes or as part of specific projects to define a vision of the future for ITS. They felt that there had been enough work already done developing visions and that more should be done to generally exploit existing work. The challenge would be to bring together the many disparate approaches to support the Technical Architecture in one coherent vision.
