Abstract: Abstract This chapter will deal with the role of public authorities in the implementation process of road transport telematics. Basically, this role has a two-fold character. First, there is the role at the strategic level, where the public sector has its impact on the direction of the development of the technologies. Second, there is the role at the operational level. It is here where road authorities (in most cases public sector departments) are responsible for the direct guidance of the developments in overall traffic conditions. The roles of the suppliers of the telematics systems have been presented in Chapter 3. But the public authorities also have a major responsibility for the research and development necessary to promote telematics and in the adoption of European standards for implementation.
