| Summary | With the increasing seriousness of global warming and the accelerated depletion of traditional energy, all countries in the world have included “energy conservation and carbon reduction” as a new philosophy in the implementation of their policies. They have also engaged in strategic energy arrangements, the implementation of new green policies, and the development of green energy industry to build a sustainable low-carbon society and to develop low-carbon economy. Among the approaches that they adopt, “the ITS development” is an important strategy regarding energy conservation and carbon reduction. On the whole, developing the ITS can effectively reduce energy consumption in the transportation process and green gas emissions. Not only can the ITS enhance transportation efficiency, but it can further achieve the policy goal of energy conservation and carbon reduction.
Based on the analysis of this study, services related to the ATMS, ATIS, APTS and EPS of the 9 major services of the ITS have more significant effects on energy conservation and carbon reduction. In addition to integrating and analyzing the effects of the user service units of the 9 major services of the ITS on energy conservation and carbon reduction, investigating the correlation between the ITS and the policies of energy conservation and carbon reduction, this study further establishes their correlation with the transport sector’s strategies of energy conservation and carbon reduction. The user service units that have effects on energy conservation and carbon reduction are divided into three dimensions: “promoting energy use efficiency of the transportation system”, “strengthening transportation demand management” and “developing green transportation system”. This study proposes measures for all these dimensions, including 16 items: “optimizing traffic control and monitoring system”, “enhancing the capabilities to deal with accidents”, “improving the guidance function of the energy-conserving dynamic routing”, “providing multiple and convenient access channels to traveler service information”, “offering accurate and real-time pre-travel information to travelers and information to drivers during traveling”, “promoting the effectiveness of the commercial vehicle management sub-systems”, “enhancing the effectiveness of the commercial vehicle roadside inspection sub-systems”, “promoting highway and expressway ETC”, “promoting ERP”, “promoting electronic parking payment systems”, “strengthening travel demand management”, “promoting carpool matching and reservation services”, “improving the functions of the information service systems for public transportation passengers”, “promoting the motorcade management systems of the public transportation”, “promoting the integration systems of traffic control”, and “promoting and integrating the electronic ticketing systems”. In terms of the resources of policy implementation to be invested to the ITS in the future, it is better for the government to adopt the 80/20 principle for development strategies. Concerning the promotion of the development of various services of the ITS, the government can carry this out from 4 perspectives: “organization, law and regulation, system and finance”, “application of techniques”, “talent cultivation”, and “industry development”. The results of this study will provide a reference for our country to amend the project of the guidelines for ITS development in the future. |
