Intelligent Transport Systems and traffic management in urban areas

European cities are facing a number of challenges that are related to transportation. Economic costs of traffic congestion are estimated to be 80 billion Euros annually (European Commission, 2013-1). Urban areas account for 23% of all CO2 emissions from transport (European Commission, 2013-1). Urban areas account for 38% of Europe’s road fatalities, with vulnerable users such as pedestrians being particularly exposed (European Commission, 2013-1). Other transportation challenges are related to the robustness and reliability of the public transportation system and increasing parking demands. With high population densities and a high share of short-distance trips, there is a great potential for cities to contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from transport by 60% by 2050 and halving the use of “conventionally fuelled” cars in urban transport by 2030 (European Commission, 2011).
