ITS United Kingdom and the IET on the value of ITS

ITS United Kingdom, the Intelligent Transport Systems association for the UK, and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) have jointly published Can we really do more at less cost with the UK Road Network? The short, high level document aims to inform about the value of Intelligent Transport Systems against the background of the current cut backs in public sector spending in the UK.
ITS (UK) and the IET have worked together in common areas of interest for more than a decade, and are delighted to publish jointly what they consider to be a timely and accessible document at a time when tough funding decisions are being made in transport as in every other area of UK public spending.
