Transport systems telematics, Cuba case study

The result expansive development in urban and suburban areas have put in a difficult situation in terms of sustainable development, where pollution, traffic congestion and accidents, the strong negative external impact on the economy and health of citizens. All these problems are encouraged to develop new global strategies for sustainable urban transport. The strategies relate only a wide range of mitigation measures, but also use innovative technologies and infrastructures. The concept of an efficient, effective and safe transport prevails today in the new transport policy. Among the innovative technologies and infrastructures, it should be noted that the use of telematics systems for transport provides for several measures to enable the route and means of transportation that help reduce the time and route of travel, while searching for the increase traffic volume, a better level of service roads, and the rationalization of consumption and emissions, as well as inspection services and information in real time. The introduction of these systems should lead to the development of research population movement and settlement, with improved popular routes, in order to optimize the introduction of TST (Transport System Telematics).
