JICA to help building Intelligent transportation system in north Vietnam
Directorate for Roads of Vietnam’s Highway Management Department and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) held a recent seminar in Hanoi to discuss on applying an intelligent transportation system (ITS) into the highway network in north Vietnam.
Vietnam plans to build 2,500 kilometres of highways by 2020 and 6,400 kilometres by 2030. Of which, 700 kilometres have already been put into use. However, underdeveloped public transportation and infrastructure as well as limited awareness of vehicle users are making it harder for traffic management.
According to the Ministry of Transport, ITS plan is in the pipeline to adopt the ITS model in several highways, including National Highway 1, aiming to lay out a common standard for nationwide highway management.
At the seminar, representatives from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) said there should be a common ITS in Vietnam given its numerous highways across the country.
JICA will help Vietnam build an integrated ITS control centre for the north, they said.
The preliminary ITS plan will cover traffic operations and management mechanisms, road patrol teams, emergency response, data provision and toll collection stations.
