Abstract
The city of Suwon has introduced various ITS services between 2001 and 2006 as an alternative to solve chronic traffic congestion in the city. After the successful implementation, there was an effort to evaluate effects from the ITS deployments. However, the effects caused from ITS implementations may be realized in many different ways. Therefore, this research effort was aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of ITS implements through the first and second phases in Suwon using reasonable and scientific methods. Based on results from the analysis of variables presenting traffic condition, surveys and economic evaluation, the implementation of ITS services in Suwon can be concluded successful. However, there is a need for efforts to maintain the effects produced from the successful introduction of ITS services through continuous upgrading the systems, intensive maintenance, and efficient operations.
