The road traffic management strategies take account of the transport administration’s organisational change implemented at the beginning of 2010, the national strategy for intelligent transport and the challenges involved in the development of the transport system. In this respect, the main challenges lie in combating climate change, in the proliferation of intelligent vehicle systems and in the changing roles and responsibilities of various parties. In comparison with prior strategies, major changes concern taking responsibility for the active operation of the road traffic network, including traffic management plans, providing high-quality situational information on the road transport system, and coordinating incident management development. In addition, new strategies include participation in public transport services and the clear concentration of measures in urban areas, key sections of main roads and special sites. A separate report, “Road Traffic Management 2015, Background Report for Strategy Creation”, has been drawn up in support of strategy creation. This report includes information on the backgrounds of the chosen strategies, impact and cost information on traffic management services, a description of the target state of road traffic management and impact assessments of thetested action packages. These strategies replace the prior road traffic management strategies.
