1. Introduction

Of the government's many monetary and fiscal policies to revive the economy， public invest-ment initiatives in information and communications have been highly rated for having almost twice the demand creation effect as traditional public works projects. As part of this thrust， the government proposed in fiscal 1999 the promotion of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) — a new transport system that utilizes advanced information and communication systems — and is allocating funds in both general and supplementary budgets to provide sustained funding. Electronic toll collection (ETC) is a showcase ITS project beginning operation in fiscal 2000.
