摘要: A high level objective for many international governments and local operators is that highways should be managed in a way sustainable terms of Low Carbon Energy future. Recent initiatives such as the Strategic Transport Technology Plan policy legal framework promoted by European Commissions’ Intelligent System (ITS) Directive ITS Action may assist with this objective. However, levels complexity are inherent within schemes now part highway management, due to linkage various technological components complex systems services. Maintaining efficient, co-operative performance therefore major task, inconsistencies between product suppliers, network managers operators. As result, it considerable interest makers able assess individual furthermore, compare schemes. In paper, an illustration provided methodology can used according set sustainability criteria. case study introduced which compares anticipated Active Traffic Management (ATM) what road operator (Highways England) perceive four most congested England (in annual average daily traffic flows).
