World Bank Presentation on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)

• Purpose. To improve the safety, efficiency, dependability and cost effectiveness of our transportation system.

• The ITS Architecture. ITS helps the transportation field in a variety of areas:

– traveler and traffic management, – public transportation management, – electronic payment, – commercial vehicle operations, – emergency management, – advanced vehicle safety systems, – information management, and – maintenance and construction management

ITS in Action

• Congestion pricing in Singapore– Technology: toll gantries, in-vehicle units with

CashCards, video cameras– Results:

• Almost 50% reduction in traffic, 25% reduction in crashes• 20% increase in public transportation usage• 176,400 lbs of CO2 emissions saved• Generates approximately $40 million/year in net profits; paid

for itself in 3 years

ITS in Action

• Highway speed enforcement in England– Technology: video cameras, license plate recognition– Results:

• Collisions in 2007-2008 reduced by 21% from previous year• Over first 5 years, cost £4.6m to implement, but savings due to

fewer accidents expected to be £9.65m

ITS in Action

• Freight tolling in Germany– Technology: GPS, GSM, on-board unit, cameras– Results:

• €3.4 billion revenue collected in 2007 alone• Proportion of empty trucks fell to less than 10%• Rail freight increased by 7%• Significant increase in cleaner vehicles

ITS in Action

• Transit– Passenger information systems shown to

• Increase bus ridership by 5%, revenue by at least 1.5%• Have a benefit/cost ratio greater than 2:1

– ITS is critical for successful BRT implementation• Signal priority• Electronic fare collection• Fleet management

Development of the National Strategic Plan for the Planning, Development and Implementation of Intelligent Transportation Systems in Mexico

Summary of Activities and Project Results

January 27th, 2011

Mexico's Transport and Communications Secretariat (SCT) seeks to support the implementation of ITS in order to improve the quality of highway operations.

One of the SCT’s major efforts consisted of developing Mexico’s National ITS Strategic Plan, which was developed in five phases in 2010.

Mexico’s National ITS Strategic Plan is intended to be the basis for ITS deployments over the next 10 years

Mexico’s National ITS Strategic Plan has been developed to support the successful deployment of ITS at the national level in order to improve highway operations.

Project Objectives

Key stakeholders that interact with ITS systems were identified and grouped into five types of stakeholders, with a total of 237 stakeholders identified and engaged during this project.

Phase 2. Benchmark Study.

ITS initial efforts were made 57% by national initiative, 28% by local initiative and 15% by private initiative.

Mobility, competitiveness and safety are present in at least 6 of the visions of the countries analyzed

Seven of the analyzed countries have developed ITS projects in 5 of the 10 service domains

Financing in the analyzed countries for ITS implementation is 33% public, 32% public-private, 20% international entities and 15% private

Errors in ITS implementation have been both strategic and regional

As part of this project, a Benchmark Study was completed in order to identify strategic elements other countries’ ITS visions, programs and projects.

Vision

Vision Statement for ITS on Mexican Highways

To achieve an intelligent, modern and efficient urban and interurban highway system, based on international standards and trends, and which contributes to fulfilling the needs of users through the employment of ITS technologies in its operation.

To have ITS support the fulfillment of the objectives of the Nation in terms of competitiveness and economic development, placing Mexico in a leadership position and creating real and lasting benefits to the Mexican people.

Phase 2. Mexico’s Vision for Highway ITS

Phase 4. Operation and Requirement Concepts

A traceability map has been developed to link all of the identified needs, objectives and goals to available technologies.

Needs ServicesGoalsObjectives Operational Concepts

Needs encountered and identified in the transportation network.

Objectives were established in the ITS architecture and restated by the Strategic Plan team according to the problems and needs identified.

Goals are based on the needs and are linked directly to an objective. Their difference with the objectives is that goals are measurable.

Services are the medium through which we seek to meet the proposed goals.

Provides general information about ITS services to stakeholders, in a conceptual manner.

Describe how the functionality of ITS system components should be.

Groups of functions in which several elements, necessary for providing a service, are brought together.

Phase 5. Organization responsible for the development and implementation of Highway ITS

The mission of the proposed organization will consist mainly of coordinating the implementation of the ITS Strategy on Mexico’s highway network.The vision of the new organization is to be a leader in the development and implementation of ITS projects as well as in their promotion with key stakeholders nationwide.

Next Steps

Establish an institutional structure at the SCT responsible for ITS coordination in order to

ensure progress and continuity of ITS efforts on Mexico’s highway system.

Establish an ITS advisory committee to facilitate stakeholder interaction during the

development and implementation of ITS projects and standards.

Implement a specific training and education program into ITS topics, specially into benefits-

costs evaluation models.

Define and supervise ITS requirements in upcoming highway ITS bidding processes

Plan, design and construct an ITS pilot project (Mexico-Queretaro highway) and the first

regional traffic management center (TMC)

Next Steps

In order to begin to implement Mexico’s ITS program, a series of next steps have been identified for 2011 and beyond.
