Considering the need of huge funds required for ITS implementaton, the text introduces about various funding optons available. Conclusively, it is a unique book that contains all aspects of ITS which a student of engineering is expected to know. The book is intended as a text for postgraduate students of transportaton engineering and as a reference book for professionals such as transport planners, town planners, trafc engineers, transit operators and consultants.
