Toolkit for sustainable decision making in its deployment

A number of EU-communications have addressed the fact that slow and uncoordinated decision making for ITS deployment on urban, regional and national level is the most urgent problem to be solved in order to utilise the benefits ITS deployment can gain for a sustainable European transportation system. As lack on easy and efficient access to a wide spread ITS knowledge as well as decision making for the deployment is recognised as the key factors for slow down investment on ITS on administration level. The toolkit solution presented in this paper addresses one of the most important ITS deployment related challenges on European level: Support and speed up consistent decision making related to ITS deployment for road and public transport (timely, cost-effective, interoperable, positive impact to urban and interurban mobility, positive cost/benefit ratio). It is planned to implement that solution in the 2DECIDE project, which is funded by the European Commission.
