6. Overview
• Improving road safety and efficiency were key criteria
• 12,000 deaths per year from road traffic accidents (WHO
2010)
• The second major cause of death in Egypt
• No existing Inter-urban ITS
• Great road infrastructure but in need of some TLC
• Poor Driver behaviour
• Heavy loads
Eight in to Four Goes!Heavy Load!
7. Study Methodology
• Requirements Capture
• Establishing the WHY
• Stakeholder engagement essential!
• WHERE the “needs” are most
• Business Options and benefits
• The WHAT;
• capabilities & functions
• Business case
• Implementation - The HOW:
• Estimates for funds,
• deployments, model contract etc
• Stage 2 – Contract Documents
8. Why ITS
Faced with:
• Rising traffic demand and expectations and
• An inability to build out of trouble
Many highways authorities investing in ITS:
• More cost effective way to
• Release latent capacity and
• Improve safety & reduce congestion
• Proven tool when used properly
10. Where
• 1,400km of inter-urban strategic road identified
• 111km CRR ideal foundation scheme
11. Where: The Business Case
• CRR with NPV of C€69m, IRR of 24% & BCR 1.73
• On the CRR alone, ITS could save 10 lives/year + other
benefits!
• Extended to the C1,400km of strategic road gives:
• Accident saving benefits of €1.6bn for €802m investment
• IRR of about 30% and BCR 1.83
• Reduce accidents by 730/year and Save a further 130
lives/year!
• Large investment needing a “Road Map” &
• Strategic Action Plan
11
12. How: ITS Road Map
• Scale suggests “Phased” deployment
• Cairo Ring Road ITS Foundation Scheme providing :
• TMC & System,
• Telecoms &
• Roadside Infrastructure
• Incident detection
• Followed by “Priority” deployments as funds allow

Future Functionality
15. • Free Latent/lost capacity through:
• Better road behaviour: parking, use of highway, informal
buses, pedestrians
• Removing debris and detritus
• Improved maintenance
• Enforcement Policy
• Road-user Compliance is Essential
• Culture!
• Informing road-users: i.e. a communications plan
• No surprises
• Driver education programme
