Impact of Intelligent Transport Systems Services on the Level of Safety and Improvement of Traffic Conditions

The positive effects of the services of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) on the level of transport systems operation was confirmed by long-term studies conducted, inter alia, in the USA, Japan and Europe. Benefits resulting from the application of ITS services can be presented through performance indicators. The indicators represent in a numerical or qualitative manner to what extent ITS services can contribute to improving the safety of travellers and the quality of travel, upgrading the efficiency and reliability of the transport system, the efficiency of transport services providers, energy saving and environmental protection. The paper presents the impact of selected ITS services on the safety and efficiency of traffic, as well as indicators describing that impact. ITS services were specified according to the standard classification of services, prepared within the framework of the RID 4D research project “The impact of the use of Intelligent Transport Systems services on the road safety level,” funded by the National Centre for Research and Development and the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA).
