Effects of Intelligent Transport Systems Deployment in Russian Regions

Digitalisation is one of the Russia’s economic development priorities. In the transport sector, digitalisation means introducing intelligent transport systems (ITS) which is part of the national project «Safe Quality Roads». Improving the quality of life of the population by increasing road safety, reducing waiting times and transport delays, reducing fuel consumption and pollutant emissions are the strategic goals of ITS. The aim of the study is to analyse the reflection of these goals of intelligent transport systems in the current regulatory and legal documents and to assess the preliminary results of the ITS implementation project in the Russian regions. It is shown that programme documents and current reports of the regions give preference to quantitative rather than qualitative results of the project. Studies of ITS effects evaluate its individual elements and use various methods of analysis. The most common and simple method is the comparison of the studied indicators before and after the start of the use of intelligent transport systems. The article shows the possibility of implementing this approach for road safety indicators using official statistics data. It is also shown that the least attention is paid to the goal of reducing the negative impact of transport on the environment, while it is very relevant for most large Russian cities.
