Effective policy of its for Seoul Korea

The purpose of this paper is to examine the process of planning and implementing ITS in major urban areas and to concentrate in particular on the interaction between central and local government1. The central theme of the paper is that cooperation between central and local governments in implementing ITS can create "technology platforms," and that these platforms can be used as a basis for further interagency activities. Examining previous research on institutional issues in implementing ITS in Seoul tested this theme. The major ITS implement program in Seoul such as: Traffic signal control systems, Freeway management system(Olympic Expressway), Transit management systems (Advanced Public Transportation System), Bus arrival information systems, Electronic fare systems (Congestion pricing, Namsan 1,3 Tunnel), Traffic Broadcasting System Bus fare automatic collection System (Integrated Card System) are discussed.
