Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are vital to increase safety and tackle World's growing emission and congestion problems. They can make transport safer, more efficient and more sustainable by applying various information and communication technologies to all modes of passenger and freight transport. Moreover, due to future internet developments, the integration of existing technologies can create new services. ITS are key to support jobs and growth in the mobility and transport sector. But in order to be effective, the roll-out of ITS needs to be coherent and properly coordinated across the countries with a strong connection among players.

ITS will be used to improve journeys and operations on specific and combined modes of transport. Universities, Governmental Commissions and Researchers also work to set the ground for the next generation of ITS solutions, through the deployment of Cooperative-ITS, paving the way for automation in the transport sector. C-ITS are systems that allow effective data exchange through wireless technologies so that vehicles can connect with each other, with the road infrastructure and with other road users.

In Japan, traffic congestions often occur on the expressways connecting tourism areas with the Tokyo metropolitan area. This congestion can be mitigated if tourists delayed their departure of homeward trips to avoid peak traffic hours. A potential method to promote staggered departure times is providing the estimates of near-future traffic congestion. This study hypothesized and experimentally confirmed that some tourists would delay their departure to avoid traffic based on near-future traffic estimates. The experiment was conducted in the Yatsugatake area using a mobile application that provided this information to tourists. The results suggest that approximately 40% of self-driving tourists will perform an additional stopover if the returning route is congested and near-future traffic congestion estimate is provided.
