4. Intelligent Transportation Systems
- information and communication
technologies applied to transport
infrastructure and vehicles for
improved mobility, safety, and
sustainability
5. The possibilities are endless
● gather information about commuter travel and traffic habits
● allows city planners and engineers to divert traffic to less congested
routes
● connected car technology and real-time traffic information
● improve transport outcomes and traffic management
● such as transport productivity, safety, reliability, and reduced traffic
congestion
6. Hong Kong
so where are we in 2015?
Intelligent transportation system market for applications
is estimated to reach
$33.89 billionby 2020 at
a compound annual growth rate of 11.57%
between 2015 and 2020
8. HK Govt’s own route search app for passengers and drivers
9.
10. What can developers use?
Available for free on HK government’s data
portal - 12 items in transport:
● Journey time indicators
● Speed map panels
● Traffic snapshot images
● Traffic speed map
● Routes and fares of public transport
● MTR routes, fares and barrier-free facilities
● Electric vehicle charging station locations
12. Possibilities
• Real-time traveler information
• Smart electric vehicle charging
• Citywide traffic monitoring
• Transit signal prioritization
• Parking availability technology and Smart metering
• Variable speed limits
13. Can we use
technology to
solve problems,
make informed
decisions and
embrace innovation?
14. What is the HKSAR government doing?
Public Transport Strategy Study
Franchised bus service (install real-time bus arrival information systems for
service improvement?)
Public light buses (increase the number of passenger seats?)
Taxi service (supply and demand, alternative in hired car service?)
15. What is the HKSAR government doing?
Smart City Pilot in
East Kowloon
making use of smart data and technology
information platform for communications and data sharing
improve city management and enhance efficiency
provide transport/traffic information and high quality public services
17. What do we need?
• coordination of cross-department policies
• making available real-time traffic data from service providers
• data released in interoperable formats
• user’s and application developer’s active use of these datas
• updated laws that allow room for new intelligent products and
services
• review the limitations of road and public transport system capacity
