What is ISO 20902-1?

ISO 20902-1:2018 is a Technical Specification published by ISO that supports the design and deployment of Urban Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) by providing structured use case analyses. This standard focuses on how different stakeholders — such as traffic operators, vehicle systems, and infrastructure providers — can implement Traffic Signal Priority (TSP) to improve transportation efficiency.

The standard includes:

  1. Definition and classification of TSP use cases
  2. Requirements for data exchange and communication interfaces
  3. Guidelines for prioritizing public and emergency vehicles

Our consulting services include system assessment, urban ITS planning, TSP solution mapping, stakeholder alignment, technical documentation, and implementation support tailored to ISO/TS 20902-1:2018.

Why is ISO 20902-1 important?

With increasing urban congestion, municipalities must adopt intelligent traffic control systems that prioritize the flow of high-impact vehicles (e.g., buses, ambulances, fire trucks). ISO/TS 20902-1:2018 helps in standardizing these systems to ensure interoperability, safety, and performance optimization.

Deploying this standard ensures:

  1. Streamlined integration of smart mobility solutions
  2. Reduced transit delays
  3. Safer and faster movement for emergency responders

By following ISO-compliant ITS frameworks, urban developers and transport authorities can create efficient, future-ready mobility infrastructures.

What are the benefits of ISO 20902-1?

  1. Defines global best practices for implementing traffic signal priority (TSP).
  2. Improves public transport punctuality and reliability.
  3. Enables safer, faster emergency vehicle passage through intersections.
  4. Supports smart city and sustainable transport initiatives.
  5. Promotes system-level integration between traffic management and vehicle platforms.
  6. Reduces greenhouse gas emissions by minimizing vehicle idle time at signals.

What kind of businesses can benefit from ISO 20902-1?

Implementing ISO/TS 20902-1:2018 with Growth Management Corporation enables the following benefits:

1.Improved Urban Mobility Efficiency

Enhance traffic flow by prioritizing critical vehicle classes, leading to reduced congestion.

2.Smart City Readiness

Align your city’s ITS infrastructure with global smart city standards and protocols.

3.Enhanced Public Transport Service Levels

Boost punctuality and public satisfaction by giving signal priority to buses and trams.

4.Emergency Response Optimization

Reduce response time during crises by granting priority signal clearance to emergency services.

5.Reduced Operational Costs

Optimize signal control systems to minimize fuel consumption and idle time.

6.System Interoperability

Ensure seamless data and communication exchange between traffic control centers, vehicles, and infrastructure.

7.Environmental Impact Reduction

Lower vehicle emissions by reducing stop-and-go traffic behavior.
