2.4 Road Network Operation / Intelligent Transportation Systems

Road network capacity is not fully utilized, as traffic demand is concentrated on only small sections of the road network. Technical Committee 2.4 "Road Network Operation / Intelligent Transportation Systems" focuses on how new mobility, new technologies and digitalization are incorporated to Road Network Operation. This Technical Committee investigates the concept Mobility as a Service (MaaS). It will also update the RNO / ITS Manual.

Besides, almost all Technical Committees are dealing with common topics such as mobility of people between urban and rural areas, or data-driven solutions. (extract from the Strategic Plan)
