The plan is part of MTT's efforts to standardize and regulate the use of intelligent transport systems in the country.

He proposed to the recent Intelligent Transport Systems conference in Stockholm, Sweden that the system could be added to the insurance companies mandate for teenage drivers.

The new innovITS - ADVANCE aims to provide an environment that will enable intelligent transport systems (ITS) technologies to be developed in a safe and secure environment.

For example, freight services in Sweden are leading the way worldwide in the use of It based intelligent transport systems.

Demonstrating the technology yesterday, Phil Blythe, professor of intelligent transport systems at Newcastle University, said: "Common sense tells us that pollution levels will be higher during rush hour than at other times of day but we need to understand exactly how these levels vary - inside and outside the car, at different temperatures and humidities - before we can start to tackle the problem.

Mouchel's prestigious projects include Intelligent Transport Systems in UK, First Ring Road in Kuwait, Puerto Caudecedo Container Port in the Dominican Republic and Addis Ababa Ring Road in Ethiopia.

The proposal was highlighted during the second Middle East Intelligent Transport Systems Conference and Exhibition, at the Crowne Plaza's Bahrain Conference Centre earlier this month.

Among those proposed for imminent arrival is the intelligent transport system, a long-promised technology which allows cars talk to each other to improve safety.
