Abstract | The appraisal of intelligent transport systems (ITS) has become increasingly important in order to capture their full range of potential impacts. This study aims to assess the appropriateness of conventional transport appraisal models and tools for this task, particularly in reflecting the environmental and socio-economic impacts of ITS. These include the most common environmental systems analysis tools (ESATs), which incorporate international standards and are of considerable importance in indicating sustainability. A review of how emerging methods relate to the goal of a successful transition to a low carbon future is reported, based on the literature. The appraisal of ITS is inherently uncertain due to the decentralised nature of information communication technology; therefore, a range of methods to capture this aspect are reviewed. The models, weights and methods are analysed concerning their ability to estimate sustainability performance, given the numerous configurations of ubiquitous technology that may comprise ITS services. Weighting methods are important in reflecting perceptions of how sustainability should be assessed. These can be incorporated by identifying, classifying and selecting one or more ESAT's based on their suitability for a particular application. Finally, recommendations are given on which tools can be integrated to more comprehensively reflect the performance of ITS. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
