GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN Ministry of Communications National Highway Authority INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM ON CPEC PROJECTS Islamabad – March, 2019 National Highway Authority www.nha.gov.pk
Why ITS in Pakistan • Addition of more than 1200KMs of new Motorways within three (03) years. • Robust, Efficient, Cost Effective systems are required to: • Collect data for assessment of true revenue potentials, • Assessment of pavement conditions and its timely maintenance • Better quality of service to Commuters 2
TRAFFIC ISSUES IN PAKISTAN Congestion & subsequent CO 2 Emissions In Pakistan Rs.47.9 million i.e. Rs 1 million per week is wasted due to congestion At Present in Pakistan C0 2 emissions are increasing at the rate of 6% or 18.5 million tonnes, annually. 3
TRAFFIC ISSUES IN PAKISTAN Higher Crash rate & subsequent Fatalities Rs. 100 billion loss due to road crashes every year Express Tribune June 13th 2016, in Pakistan Domestic Fatality rate over 6 persons/10,000 vehicles 4
ITS TECHNOLOGIES-WIM Weigh Standard In Pakistan 5

Challenges in ITS Implementation • Lack of resources for operation and maintenance of ITS technology • Lack of in-house technical capacity to process, understand and analyse the data • Lack of advanced analytic solutions in the public transport industry • Lack of knowledge on ITS systems and capabilities to specify suitable terms when contracting ITS services to vendors • Lack of knowledge among vendors on the specific needs of public transport operations, which significantly affects the utility of the end product • Lack of understanding about the implications of procuring a certain technology in a fast-changing ecosystem 9
• Awarding of ITS contracts purely based on the lowest costing proposals rather through a quality and cost-based criteria • User adaptability to latest technology • Integration of the systems being installed on different projects is one of the biggest challenge 10
Recommendations • ITS-capital intensive • Home grown solutions as there is no one-size fit all • Regional cooperation to develop master plans • Each country to focus developing policy and strategy for ITS • Technical and financial support by the affluent members of Asia-Pacific • Develop consensus to introduce the subject of ITS in educational institutions • Capacity building programs for relevant institutions and organizations 11
