In this course you will learn about transport planning using Intelligent transportation systems (ITS)and Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (CITS). This course will help you to plan your CITS services in the city, it will provide you with a brief introduction into ITSand CITS, then it will provide a comprehensive explanation on Impact Assessment of ITSand CITSservices. You will be able to conduct benefit to cost analysis and develop your ITSand CITSdeployment strategy.

The chapters that will be covered in the course are:

•Chapter 1: Introduction to ITS and C-ITS.

•Chapter 2: ITS and C-ITS user services

•Chapter 3: TMC and roadside management of ITS

•Chapter 4: Standards, architectures & communication technologies for ITS -CITS

•Chapter 5: Impact assessment of ITS and C-ITS systems

•Chapter 6: Financial incentives and business and procurement models for C-ITS development.

•Chapter 7: Cost-benefit analyses of ITS services

•Chapter 8: Guidance in deploying ITS and C-ITS

•Chapter 9: Information security, data protection and privacy

•Chapter 10: SPICE: Public Procurement of Innovation in Transport

Moving towards the half of the 3rd decade in the 21st centaury, many cities will upgrade their transportation systems, by adopting ITS and CITS technologies, focusing on Electric mobility, autonomous cars and micro transit services. IT is fundamental that the next generation of engineers have a wide knowledge on the different changes that will impact the transportation sector.

This course is designed for engineering students and graduates who would like to support their knowledge with a comprehensive understanding of ITSand CITS, one of the key components in the transport scene in future cities.
