The paper discusses a new instrument for the implementation of territorial policies expected to be used in the EU financial perspective 2014-2020. This tool helps integrate activities in local government units from various subregions. ITS applications are in many cases considered as projects that require consistent and complementary activities in order to ensure that a common vision of development of local governments involved in a project is realized. The article identifies the areas of ITS which can be the subject of integrated territorial investments (ITI).

The transport forms an inevitable condition for the management and effective working of the economics and the society as a whole. Its wide range of use and quick development are often considered to be the main reasons of undesirable side effects on the environment. A growing number of cars on roads and highways contributes substantially to the air pollution. Therefore the international and national organizations are trying to find ways and mechanisms how to improve the environment together with the extension of traffic network. The cumulating problems of the unfriendly environmental impacts of transport should be resolved. The problems are being solved with an active approach, which is oriented to the prevention or early elimination. The solving of these problems belongs to the sphere of Resort of Transport and Environment. It is necessary to focus on this way prior to the after-effects solving.

This paper gives an overview on some ethical aspects of ITS development and applications. The technical evolution of ITSs is a basis for development of various ITS technologies, systems, applications, and services. The future ITSs will become more and more intelligent and autonomous in their behavior. The new kind of advanced ITSs will emerge in the future, e.g. ITS with artificial moral agent. There will be a need for creating a new kind of "machine" ethics, called ITS ethics, for ITS professionals, namely ITS designers, manufacturers and users. ITS ethics addresses a number of moral issues which arise if researchers are able to build up intelligent systems with intellectual capacities that behave analogically to human beings. The most important problem will be: who or what is morally responsible for malfunctions of ITSs? The malfunctions of ITS usually cause some unnecessary suffering to people, and it is immoral.

This paper describes a possibility of applying an ethical approach to ITS applications is described. It refers to benefits of ITS applications in terms of classic ethical values, and their interpretation in the light of consequentialism and classical utilitarianism. The paper presents a kind of new look at numerous and various ITS benefits from the ethical (moral) point of view. It emphasizes the ethical importance of such benefits of ITS applications as savings of time, safety, and convenience in traveling. The paper also raises the problem of connections of ethical evaluation of ITS benefits with the so-called costs/benefits analysis (CBA) in the transport sector.
