Abstract: Abstract Transport telematics provides the transport sector with products and services of a varied and different form. It has no physical transport infrastructure as such; it is based on a parallel communications infrastructure which acts as a valuable ‘enabling mechanism’, transferring information to enhance the operation of the transport network. Transport telematics introduces potentially more effective and novel solutions for addressing the current and future transport problems, as has been outlined in the previous chapter. This is achieved by providing decision-makers, network actors and fleet operators with better information on the past and current state of the network, and by offering better information to the public on travel options and conditions when they plan or undertake trips.
