Abstract

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have been shown to have positive effects on the economy and on efficiency, but this study aims to show that they also have a positive effect on carbon emissions. This article is based on the premise that implementing these technological steps is a winwin for long-term economic and ecological viability. The first research question asks if there is evidence that ITS systems can be implemented and operated in a way to generate environmental benefits, and the second asks if the policy priorities of national and international stakeholders reflect a propensity for ITS deployment in order to yield those benefits. Both fundamental drivers and a synthesis of the empirical facts are used to provide an answer to the first question. New propensity models to accomplish climatic and environmental objectives are one solution to the second problem. According to the findings, the likelihood that ITS would be included as a high priority policy instrument in future transport policies is significantly influenced by the Vehicle Density and High Technology exports of a country. The study's significance lies in its promotion of ITS as a policy instrument with the potential to improve economic performance and environmental performance. It's useful for transport planners and policy experts on a global, national, and even regional scale.
