Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) have huge potential to reduce the environmental impact of road transport, increase productivity through reduced congestion and improve the safety and security of the road transport network.

With a concerted effort, the UK can position itself as a major player not only in the European market but in other major markets around the world, including North America and Japan.

The rich source of invention in the UK is often overtaken by faster moving exploitation in other nations. Effort is therefore required to accelerate ITS innovation from the diverse range of players in the UK and focus upon achieving a world-class position for UK industry.
