Answer 1

Intelligent Transport System (ITS) aims to achieve traffic efficiency by minimizing traffic problems. It aims to reduce time of commuters as well as enhances their safety and comfort. ... The use is not just limited to traffic congestion control and information, but also for road safety and efficient infrastructure usage.

Applications of the intelligent transportation system

• Real-time parking management.
• Electronic toll collection.
• Emergency vehicle notification systems.
• Automated road speed enforcement.
• Speed alerts.
• RFID in freight transportation.
• Variable speed limits.
• Dynamic traffic light sequence

Some of these technologies include calling for emergency services when an accident occurs, using cameras to enforce traffic laws or signs that mark speed limit changes depending on conditions

Intelligent transport systems vary in technologies applied, from basic management systems such as car navigation; traffic signal control systems; container management systems; variable message signs; automatic number plate recognition or speed cameras to monitor applications, such as security CCTV systems, and automatic incident detection or stopped vehicle detection systems; to more advanced applications that integrate live data and feedback from a number of other sources, such as parking guidance and information systems; weather information; bridge de-icing (US deicing) systems; and the like. Additionally, predictive techniques are being developed to allow advanced modelling and comparison with historical baseline data. Some of these technologies are described in the following sections.

Emergency vehicle notification systemsEdit

The EU passed a law required automobile manufacturers to equip all new cars with eCall, a European initiative that assists motorists in the case of a collision.The in-vehicle eCall is generated either manually by the vehicle occupants or automatically via activation of in-vehicle sensors after an accident.When activated, the in-vehicle eCall device will establish an emergency call carrying both voice and data directly to the nearest emergency point(normally the nearest The voice call enables the vehicle occupant to communicate with the trained eCall operator. At the same time, a minimum set of data will be sent to the eCall operator receiving the voice call.

Automatic road enforcementEdit

Automatic speed enforcement

A traffic enforcement camera system, consisting of a camera and a vehicle-monitoring device, is used to detect and identify vehicles disobeying a speed limit or some other road legal requirement and automatically ticket offenders based on the license plate number. Traffic tickets are sent by mail.

Applications include:

• Speed cameras that identify vehicles traveling over the legal speed limit. Many such devices use radar to detect a vehicle's speed or electromagnetic loops buried in each lane of the road.
• Red light cameras that detect vehicles that cross a stop line or designated stopping place while a red traffic light is showing.
• Bus lane cameras that identify vehicles traveling in lanes reserved for buses. In some jurisdictions, bus lanes can also be used by taxis or vehicles engaged in car pooling.
• Level crossing cameras that identify vehicles crossing railways at grade illegally.
• Double white line cameras that identify vehicles crossing these lines.
• High-occupancy vehicle lane cameras that identify vehicles violating HOV requirements.

Variable speed limitsEdit

Example variable speed limit

Recently some jurisdictions have begun experimenting with variable speed limits that change with road congestion and other factors. Typically such speed limits only change to decline during poor conditions, rather than being improved in good ones

Collision avoidance systemsEdit

Japan has installed sensors on its highways to notify motorists that a car is stalled ahead.

New mobility and smart transportation models are emerging globally. Bike sharing, car sharing and scooter sharing schemes like Lime or Bird are continuing to gain popularity; electric vehicle charging schemes are taking off in many cities; the connected car is a growing market segment; while new, smart parking solutions are being used by commuters and shoppers all over the world. All these new models provide opportunities for solving last mile issues in urban areas.

ITS in the connected worldEdit

Mobile operators are becoming a significant player in these value chains (beyond providing just connectivity). Dedicated apps can be used to take mobile payments, provide data insights and navigation tools, offer incentives and discounts, and act as a digital commerce medium.

Payments and billing flexibilityEdit

These new mobility models call for high monetization agility and partner management capabilities. A flexible settlements and billing platform enables revenues to be shared quickly and easily and provides an overall better customer experience. As well as a better service, users can also be rewarded by discounts, loyalty points and rewards, and engaged via direct marketing.

ITS Technology Adoption and Observed Market Trends from ITS Deployment Tracking report

• Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) - ETC supports the collection of payment at toll plazas using automated systems that increase the operational efficiency and convenience of toll collection. Systems typically consist of vehicle-mounted transponders identified by electronic readers located in dedicated or mixed-use lanes at toll plazas. ETC has the potential to significantly increase mobility on the Nation’s transportation system.

Ramp Meter (RM) - Traffic signals on freeway ramp meters alternate between red and green signals to control the flow of vehicles entering the freeway. Metering rates can be altered based on freeway traffic conditions

• Red Light Camera

The sensors connect to computers in high-speed cameras, which take two photographs of the violation. Typically, the first photo is taken of the front of the vehicle when it enters the intersection, and the second photo is taken of the rear of the vehicle when the vehicle is in the intersection. Law enforcement officials review the photograph, and a citation is mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle.

• Traffic Signal Coordination (TSC) - According to the TSC provides the ability to synchronize multiple intersections to enhance the operation of one or more directional movements in a system.
• Traveler Information Systems (TIS) - According to the effective TIS are multimodal and support many categories of drivers and travelers. Traveler information applications use a variety of technologies, including Internet websites, telephone hotlines, and television and radio, to allow users to make informed decisions regarding trip departures, routes, and mode of travel.

Conclusion

Many benefits exist for further deployment and continued development of ITS technologies. With the ITS Program, the U.S. DOT strives to make the most of ITS technologies that already exist and where possible integrate these advancements into vehicles and, infrastructure. The purpose of transportation systems technology is to process and share information that can prevent potential crashes, keep traffic moving, and decrease the negative environmental impacts of the transportation sector on society.

The ultimate benefits of a transformed transportation system—one that is fully connected; information-rich; and able to address safety, mobility, and environmental impacts—are wide-ranging and powerful. They will be felt by every one of us, delivering greater livability to our communities and to our daily lives.

ITS improves transportation safety and mobility and enhances American productivity through the integration of advanced communications technologies into the transportation infrastructure and in vehicles.
