This report draws on the experience of Guian New District in the Peoples Republic of China to explain how intelligent transport systems can be planned, designed, and implemented.

High-quality transport systems are essential for developing cities in the Asia and Pacific region to transform into safe, sustainable urban centers. Intelligent transport systems have a key role to play in boosting the operation and maintenance of urban transport modes by providing data collection, processing, and communications systems. Using Guian New District as a case study, the report demonstrates how intelligent transport systems can save time, money, and lives if properly planned and implemented.
