ABSTRACT
One of the most interesting and perhaps ambitious applications of geographic information technologies is the development of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Implementation of ITS requires the application of technologies to both roadways and vehicles to perform surveillance, communications, data processing, traffic control and navigational tasks.1 The range of ITS is extensive, and includes services such as the wireless provision of traffic information to drivers, law enforcement, the management of commercial vehicle fleets, environmental regulation, the provision of route and location information to the traveler, and – the topic of this chapter – electronic toll collection.
