• Abstract:
  Road Transport Telematics (RTT) will benefit individual citizens by making driving safer and easier with fewer delays. It can help transport service providers and fleet managers by providing logistical and management support. Road operators can use RTT to manage traffic more effectively and reduce congestion, and by allowing a more efficient use of infrastructure, RTT gives policy makers an alternative to road building. RTT can also have a positive effect on the environment by encouraging the use of public transport, helping to secure a more balanced and improved modal mix, reducing pollution and securing a more efficient use of energy sources. At the same time market opportunities for industry and “added value” service providers will be created as part of the growing Information Society. RTT will, however, be most effective if it is integrated into transport strategies to deliver specific policy objectives
