The topics which I will discuss: What is Intelligent Transportation System(I.T.S)

Why I.T.S?
Needs of I.T.S.

Problems in Transportation.
Classification of I.T.S.

Applications of I.T.S.
The I.T.S status in India. The various requirements of I.T.S in India.

WHAT IS I.T.S?

The term intelligent transportation system (ITS) refers to efforts to add information and communications technology to transport infrastructure and vehicles in an effort to manage factors that typically are at odds with each other, such as vehicles, loads, and routes to improve safety and reduce vehicle wear, transportation times, and fuel consumption.

BASIC IDEA OF I.T.S

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) intend to add information and communications technology to transport infrastructure and vehicles in an effort to improve: Safety reliability efficiency quality of means of transport.

Why I.T.S!??
ITS answers to many of transportation problems.

ITS is used to improve safety and reduce vehicle wear, transportation times, and fuel consumption through the use of advanced information and communications technologies.
Combining those technologies in innovative ways and integrating them into our multimodal transportation system will save lives, time, and

 If using ITS, the early stages of a traffic bottleneck situation can be detected, and traffic can be directed to other routes and to provide faster and more efficient routes for travelers.
New technologies can response to occurrences of traffic problems in real time, and therefore, the problems can be solved before they develop into serious traffic jams.

Needs of I.T.S
Rapid growing economy. Insufficient and inadequate Public Transportation System. Raising Vehicle Owner ship levels.

PROBLEMS IN TRANSPORTATION.

TRAFFIC CONGESTION

FUEL CONSUMPTION TO REDUCE ROAD ACCIDENTS

VARIOUS THOUGHTS WHICH COME TO MIND WHILE DRIVING..

FEATURES OF THE INTELLIGENT TRANSPORATION SYSTEM

Wireless communications Computational technologies Sensing technologies Video vehicle detection Probe & smart vehicles The incident detection centers In vehicle information & route guide

Classification of I.T.S.
Advanced Public Transportation System (APTS). Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS). Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS). Automated Highway System (AHS). Incident Management System (IMS). Electronic Toll Collection System (ETC). Advanced Warning System (AWS). Vehicle Information and Communication System. Video Transmission.

ADVANCED PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM: APTS is a technology that increase the efficiency and safety of public transportation system. The goal of APTS is to provide more information to public to make effective decision and to increase travelers convenience and rider ship. Basically this system helps to smoothen out public transportation related problems.

Intelligent transportation applications:

Fleet management system

Intelligent transportation applications: AUTOMATED HIGHWAY SYSTEM :

AHS is a specially equipped highway lane, where the vehicles are automatically controlled by the system, not by the driver. The system helps in keeping the vehicle in the same lane. The AHS lanes and vehicles which operate on them are likely to have special sensors, computers and communication devices to permit automated control

Automated Highway system

Intelligent transportation applications: ELECTRONIC TOLL COLLECTION SYSTEM:

ETC is a system by which drivers can pay tolls without having to stop at a toll booth. The collection of fees is performed electronically by way of equipment installed in the vehicle and sensors at toll location. ETC is based on vehicle roadside communication system.

Electronic toll collection system:

Intelligent transportation applications:

ADVANCED WARNING SYSTEM:

This system warns the present accident to be caused when traffic slows down abruptly due to road conditions. The information given to the driver when the vehicles come closer either from front or back is conveyed through AWS which helps in preventing road crashes

Advanced warning system:

Intelligent transportation applications:

VEHICLE INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEM:

In this system, the drivers are provided with real time information on the traffic conditions
They update all the road users about the traffic conditions and other information like congestion, jams, roadblocks, pollution levels etc.

The information is given via FM band or through road

Vehicle information and communication system:

Advantages and Disadvantages of I.T.S

Advantages Disadvantages

Improved safety Better traffic flow Lower travel cost Better Environmental friendly Increased Business activity Greater user acceptance Better travel information Better Planning information.

Difficult to use in mixed traffic Difficulties in Understanding ITS equipments are costly Control system can be Hacked.

I.T.S in INDIA
In India 70 state transport undertakings which together own and operate 1,13,000 buses and provide mobility to 65 million passengers a day, across the length and breadth of the country. The most important task of ITS India will be the dissemination of ITS knowledge and imparting training for new professionals. In 1980s number of developed countries started using advanced system to control and regulate traffic. This is still to develop in India to suit our local ambience.

 The very first equipment to be used in Indian environment was electronic toll collection along the newly created expressways i.e, Delhi-Noida, Ahmedabad-Mehasana and Mumbai-Pune, which is functioning satisfactorily.
What is needed in the present context is the mind set of policy makers to cooperate for the adaptation to the new system.

I.T.S REQUIREMENTS IN INDIA

Number of vehicles Risen hence road accidents have also
increased. Worlds highest annual road fatalities - 80,000 persons killed on Indian roads every year. I.T.S India project

To improve road safety and the efficiency of transportation

systems. Close cooperation between European and Indian

ROAD SAFETY IN INDIA

Causes Of Road Accidents
Drivers fault -83.5% Pedestrian fault/fault of passengers -4.7% Mechanical defect in vehicles -3% Bad roads -1.1% Bad weather -0.9% Other factors-6.8% eg cattle, fallen trees, road blockages, non-functioning of signals and absence of rear reflectors/road signs

TRAFFIC AND TRAVELLER INFORMATION SYSTEM IN BANGALORE

Variable/Changeable Message Signs -Travelers around the metropolitan cities are being assisted with Variable/Changeable Message Signs (VMS, CMS) and dynamic route guidance systems for travel conditions and directions. G.I.S information system -The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) is one of the few public transport agencies using satellite navigation technology for fleet tracking and monitoring, and they want to upgrade their systems to provide real-time information to their

CONCLUSION
Road safety has become a pressing issue in India.

The number of deaths has reached upto 80,000 every year.

The rapid increase in e Safety is in growing demand to the day. The making of new vehicles should be well equipped with necessary technologies. To change the road user culture. This includes stronger levels of traffic regulation and enforcement. The potential of ITS technologies in improving the efficiency of transportation sector in India appears to be very promising based on the experience of other countries. A national strategic ITS plan for India is needed for the effective development and deployment.

Finally to sum up.

Raising awareness on ITS and road safety protecting vulnerable road users Traffic Management Emergency Response Management Commercial Vehicle Operations Traffic and Traveler information Public Transport Management
