INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS

Introduction
intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) refer to the integration of advanced technologies such
as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data into transportation
networks to improve efficiency, safety, and sustainability. These systems leverage real-time
data collection, communication, and automation to optimize traffic flow, reduce congestion,
and enhance mobility. ITS plays a crucial role in modernizing urban and intercity transportation
by offering smart solutions for both public and private transport systems.

The key components of ITS include Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS),
Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS), and Advanced Vehicle Control Systems
(AVCS). ATMS helps regulate traffic through smart signals and surveillance, while ATIS
provides commuters with real-time traffic updates. AVCS incorporates vehicle automation and
driver assistance features like adaptive cruise control and collision avoidance. Additionally,
ITS supports smart infrastructure, electronic toll collection, and connected vehicle networks to
streamline transportation operations.

By implementing ITS, cities can improve road safety, minimize travel delays, and lower fuel
consumption, thereby reducing environmental impact. The use of AI-driven predictive
analytics and sensor-based monitoring enables authorities to make data-driven decisions for
better traffic management. As technology advances, ITS will continue to evolve, playing a key
role in the development of autonomous vehicles, smart highways, and sustainable urban
mobility solutions.

Literature review

Shaheen et al. [1], Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) represent a group of


technologies that can improve transportation system management and public transit, as well as
individual decisions surrounding many aspects of travel. ITS technologies include state-of-the
art wireless, electronic, and automated technologies with a goal to improve surface
transportation safety, efficiency, and convenience.
Adel W. Sadek et al. [2], Incorporating ITS deployment in strategic planning requires a
fundamental change in forecasting procedures (e.g. moving to activity-based travel demand
modeling), the reality of the situation is that agencies with responsibilities for long range
planning, given their perennial resource constraints, are unlikely to make drastic changes in
their modeling procedures.

Application

• Traffic Management – Uses smart traffic signals, surveillance cameras, and AI-based
systems to optimize traffic flow and reduce congestion.
• Public Transportation – Enhances efficiency through GPS tracking, real-time
scheduling, and smart ticketing for buses, trains, and metro systems.
• Accident Detection and Emergency Response – Uses AI-powered monitoring systems
to detect accidents and alert emergency services immediately.
