AN ANALIZATION OF EFFECT STRUCTURE AND A PROPOSITION OF EVALUATION PROCESS FOR RURAL ITS

Abstract

Mobility environments in rural area have following features which are different from urban areas. 1) There are a lot of narrow roads in rural areas. 2) There are not many highways in rural areas. 3) Public transportation network is narrow. Therefore, it is hoped that road and public transportation networks in rural area should be enhanced. However, Local governments and public transportation companies in rural area do not have sufficient budgets to build them. Under these circumstances, it is expected that ITS will be the possible solution to the transportation issue in rural area that has faced to various kind of problems. We propose the effct structure for rural are in ITS through applying practical cases.
