Intelligent Transport System
Intelligent Transport System
Intelligent transportation system is the application of sensing, analysis, control and communications technologies to ground
transportation in order to improve safety, mobility and efficiency.
Intelligent transportation system includes a wide range of applications that process and share information to ease congestion,
improve traffic management, minimize environmental impact and increase the benefits of transportation to commercial users and
the public in general.
Why Intelligent Transportation System needed?
Make transportation system more efficient, secure, and safer through the use of information, communications and control
technologies.
Tackle rising congestion which increases travel times and industry costs.
Capacity management.
Incident management.
How Intelligent Transportation System Works?
1. ITS combining technologies
The technical core of intelligent transportation system (ITS) is the application of information and control technologies to
transportation system operations. These technologies include communications, automatic control, and computer hardware and
software.
The adaptation of these technologies to transportation requires the knowledge from many engineering majors for example civil,
electrical, mechanical, industrial and their related disciplines.
Majority of transportation problems are caused by lack of timely and accurate information and from the lack of appropriate
coordination individuals in the system.
So, the positive contribution of information technology is to offer better information to help people involved in the system to
make synergistic decisions.
Reduces time and resources required to integrate the technologies to local needs.
