Integrated assessment of societal impacts of intelligent transport systems in the ITS test beds project
conference paper
A test bed is an experimental development facility – a chain of test facilities – that is used to test
ITS applications. In the ITS Test Beds project a European test bed is set up. The bundling of tests
into one test bed environment brings together stakeholders, creates a one-stop shop for testing
and integrates knowledge and experience within Europe. Part of the European test bed that is
being set up is the societal assessment tool chain developed by TNO, which looks at the societal
impacts of ITS applications. This concerns impacts of ITS on traffic safety, traffic efficiency and
the environment, their translation into costs and benefits, and the corresponding business models.
The tool chain assesses these aspects in an integrated way. In this paper the tools and the links
between them are described. After this the tool chain is applied to an ITS application
