International experience determination of functional indicators of the effectiveness of intelligent transport systems on highways

Abstract

The article is devoted to monitoring of efficiency as a key tool for the development of transport plans and programs, including the introduction of intelligent transport systems (ITS). The relevance of the study is dictated by the need to develop scientifically substantiated objective functional indicators for the assessment of ITS, focused on the needs of users, including with reference to international experience. The study analyzes international initiatives, including the UNECE activities to revise the ITS roadmap for 2021-2030, as well as the practices of leading countries and unions. The article analyzes international experience in assessing the effectiveness of ITS (EU, USA, China), including regulatory documents, key performance indicators (KPIs), and methodologies. It identifies common strategic criteria for assessing ITS, such as traffic efficiency, technological indicators, safety, environmental friendliness, and financial and logistical efficiency. The paper presents a comparison of the KPI assessment areas in these countries based on these parameters. It identifies the shortcomings of existing approaches, such as the lack of assessment of ITS on toll roads and the weak development of social efficiency in urban agglomerations. The results of the study will enable the adaptation of international experience to create a regulatory framework in Russia with a system of indicators for the effectiveness of ITS at the local, regional, and federal levels, taking into account national specifics.
