This paper introduces a probe car system developed and tested for Beijing City in China,
which is based on GPS data of buses running on roads and provides the traffic information to
users. In the traffic information center, the system matches the bus location data on the map of
Beijing, calculates the average running speed and travel time on road links, and distributes the
traffic information to the public via Internet. Based on it, users can search suitable routes for
traveling in the city.

This paper will review the migration to standardized smart-cards on buses for concessionary
travel in Wales, UK.  Through  the scheme, people over 60 and disabled passengers  have  free access to travel at any time of the day across the bus network, with smart-cards enabling a quick and  convenient  method of boarding.  The re issue of standardized s mart-cards and the implementation of an integrated  and centralized system will also provide efficiencies in data capture and analysis, accurate revenue payments to operators, a reduction in fraud, and statistics that will inform future policy and funding.   Smartcards will also establish a method for
improving public service delivery to the citizens of Wales as the technology will be extended to additional modes of transport and wider citizen applications, thereby  making a  positive  step
towards an accessible fully- integrated public transportation system for the country.

Seohae Bridge became the one of the busiest gateway of West sea and the connecting way of national industry complex for effective transportation. These systems are deteriorated and the functions of user program are too simple to expand the usage with limited measurement result. So systems were reconstructed focusing on cable stayed bridge’s intensive management. GPS systems and integrated system were built for effective management of traffic, bridge, and information communication facility management.

The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the types of information transit agencies can share as part of an integrated regional ITS solution and discuss technical keys to successful participation by transit agencies in a regional ITS solution.

Integration of intelligent transportation systems is still largely defined and implemented on a region-by-region basis. While much good work has been done to define a national ITS architecture and associated standards, ultimately the work of a region’s planners and agencies leads to a successful implementation of integrated intelligent transportation systems that will result in increased mobility, safety, and security for the people using a region’s transportation network. It takes a shared regional vision to implement a successful integrated regional ITS solution. Once a shared vision has been established and embraced, then a thorough understanding of the current state of ITS standards, technologies, and architectures is needed to make the vision a reality. This paper discusses the importance of a shared vision in the successful realization of an integrated ITS solution. It then turns it focus to transit’s role in an integrated ITS solution discussing the types of information a transit agency produces that is off value to a regional ITS solution and the types of information from other regional entities which a transit agency may wish to be a consumer. The author then addresses the issues of ITS standards, technologies, and architectures as they relate to transit. The paper concludes with a summary of keys to a successful regional ITS solution.

ASK-IT is a web-based system that provides a range of services in a ‘one-stop shop’ format
enabling people to interact with their environment, whether it be home, at work, in education,
participating in social activities, or on the move (multi-modal and pedestrian transport). These
‘info-services’ are personalised and seamless. They cater for people’s specific mobility
requirements and thus enable disabled people to engage more fully in everyday life. This
paper provides early results of the ASK-IT project, focusing on the UK pilot site in
Newcastle-Gateshead. The trials involve up to 50 disabled volunteers taking part in activities
designed to demonstrate the ASK-IT system and a selection of services, including
personalisation, outdoor and indoor positioning and route guidance, accessing a database of
point of interest and ‘what’s on’ content, transport timetables, and personal support services.
