2. The use of satellite technology for traffic management
It is a system in delivering safety, and reducing a high level of congestion on public roads.
It helps to preserve the criminal traffic violations.
It is also used as a tool in roads management while keeping the infrastructure healthier, effective and more profitable.
It became one of the important parts of the modern understanding of traffic management.
3. Historical background and development of satellite technology
Experiences in Eastern Asia in the late 1960s and 70s.
The value of travel time savings, and advances in congestion pricing.
The need to meet requirements of the technical specifications and standards for transportation related policies.
New road financing program in the United States.
