ITS Policy Direction and Strategy Based on Foreign ITS Studies

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) was first introduced in Korea early nineties. Since then, Korean government, specifically, Ministry of Construction and Transportation (MOCT), puts lots of efforts for flourishing it to the entire nation. Although review of the current status of well-developed ITS countries were documented through various projects, profound and state-of-the-art study was not researched. It leads to weakening the validity of ITS, and gives negative impact on ITS in many aspects in Korea. This paper, therefore, aims to identify Korea's direction of ITS based upon the-state-of-the-art literature survey of foreign cases. This research will give a good justification for ITS office in MOCT to expand ITS to the nation.
