A Study On Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Supply Characteristics and Production Value of Advanced Transportation Management System (ATMS)

89

Due to the global trend of Intelligent Transportation System, this study try to derivative the potential market on ATMS of ITS by focusing on the supply characteristics of ITS. The supply characteristics of ITS are described in the three following items: the supply items, supply abilities of ITS development of Intelligent Transportation Infrastructure (ITI). First, the items of ITS should be carefully defined. In order to, match Taiwan’s transportation characteristics, we try to set the user services by reviewing a great deal of references. Second, we try to realize ITS ’s supply ability on its technologies and constraints through interviewing among industries, government and academic organizations. Third, we try to define the configuration of ITI. As we know, government takes responsible for all transportation infrastructures. But is an inefficient phenomenon for the government without having enough budgets. So we should make use of the goods and system attributes, set the ITI’s supply items. A large part of them is ATMS (Advanced Transportation Management System). The contribution of ITS will bring about development of the related field, and also will increase the production value. Due to the uncertain characteristics of ATMS, the appropriate way to get the Taiwan’s ATMS total production value is by using the concept of micro-production-value-prediction. Furthermore the formulation is established to predict the production value of ATMS. The formulation includes two parts: (1) The infrastructure facility’s production value is measured by total production value which are pulsing by road lengths, the number of intersections and maintenance cost;(2) The control center’s production value are measured by pulsing the setting cost, scale and functional production value, then we try to use the scenario building way to know the level and usage rate in short, mid, and long term of ATMS’s development. Considering two factors of the other city’s ATMS demand index and relative degree of road length, we treat the Taipei’s production value as a basic value. We also evaluate the production values of the other cities. Furthermore, if we take the production value of transportation control centers into considerations, we can get the total production value of Taiwan’s ATMS. From this study, the optimistic production value are 14.7 billions, 42.9 billions and 87 billions for Taipei city of short, mid and long term respectively. From this base, we can get the optimistic production value of short, mid and log term of Taiwan’s ATM production value is 54.5 billions, 226.7 billions and 481.5 billions. These evaluated results can be a suggestion of setting a budget of building ATMS for government.
