We studied topological and metric properties of the so-called interval translation maps (ITMs). For these maps, we introduced the maximal invariant measure and demonstrated that an ITM, endowed with such a measure, is metrically conjugated to an interval exchange map (IEM). This allowed us to extend some properties of IEMs (e.g., an estimate of the number of ergodic measures and the minimality of the symbolic model) to ITMs. Further, we proved a version of the closing lemma and studied how the invariant measures depend on the parameters of the system. These results were illustrated by a simple example or a risk management model where interval translation maps appear naturally.
