- Description
- The proposed Smart Traffic Management Systems offer promising efficiencies and traffic reductions. However, they overly depend on technological solutions and could sideline long-term infrastructure improvements. Furthermore, if the technology fails or is inadequately maintained, it could exacerbate congestion issues, leading to negative societal impacts, particularly on lower-income workers who might not have access to smart technologies or alternative routes. In contrast, alternatives such as Integrated Public Transport Enhancement and Dynamic Toll Pricing provide more holistic, multi-modal solutions that address congestion and sustainability concerns more effectively. Thus, in the context of a 30-year impact assessment, STMS is ranked poorly against more comprehensive alternatives.
