Intelligent Transport Systems

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) enable real-time monitoring and management of traffic flow, allowing transportation officials to quickly respond to accidents, congestion, and other incidents on the roadways.ITS includes advanced vehicle technologies, such as collision avoidance systems, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning systems and also includes intelligent infrastructure, such as smart traffic signals and connected vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication systems.ITS provides real-time traveler information to motorists, such as current traffic conditions, travel times, and alternate routes and also includes freight management technologies, such as electronic freight tracking and real-time cargo monitoring.ITS is of interest to transportation professionals, including engineers, planners, and policymakers and person interested in improving the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of transportation systems.
