Foreword
Road fatalities in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) have been decreasing steadily. However, the total number of road accidents in the PRC is still high. There is room for improvement that can lead to reduction of fatal accidents and decrease of near-miss events.
Now, after decades of applying traditional traffic engineering methods and law enforcement to improve road safety, many developed countries use Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) technologies to improve road safety. ITS utilizes information and communication technology in transport infrastructure and vehicles to improve transport outcomes. ITS can (i) reduce overall risks, (ii) identify specific risks and minimize the chances of collision and serious injuries, and (iii) minimize delay of emergency response after an accident.
To help decision-makers in the PRC further understand the challenges and opportunities of using ITS for traffic management and road safety, the Ministry of Transport and the Asian Development Bank jointly launched a technical assistance project on road safety and ITS. The objectives were (i) to provide opportunities for establishing a policy framework for the development and implementation of mobile communication-based ITS, (ii) describe technologies, and (iii) offer recommendations for further development.
This study identifies the main factors that influence road safety in the PRC including rapid motorization combined with immature drivers and weak traffic management. The specific issues which contribute to collisions are speeding and fatigued driving. These road safety challenges can be overcome in part by the use of ITS.
The report then describes technologies being used in best performing countries and in the PRC. These include using vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-road infrastructure connected technologies. These are also referred to as cooperative ITS because benefit is derived when information passed from one entity to another can achieve advantageous results.
The report concludes by discussing the prospects and benefits of ITS application in the PRC and providing recommendations for the development and implementation of mobile communications-based ITS suitable for the PRC.
Through this technical assistance project, the Ministry of Transport and the Asian Development Bank have shown that deploying cooperative ITS on the National Trunk Highway System can support meaningful improvements in road safety in the PRC.
