Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) refers to the application of advanced technologies to transportation infrastructure and vehicles to improve safety, efficiency, and sustainability in transportation systems. ITS encompasses a wide range of technologies, including sensors, communication systems, data analytics, and automation. Here are some key components and applications of ITS:
Traffic Management: ITS includes systems for monitoring and managing traffic flow, such as traffic signal control, dynamic message signs, and variable speed limits. These systems can help optimize traffic flow, reduce congestion, and improve safety.
Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) Communication: V2I communication enables vehicles to communicate with roadside infrastructure, such as traffic signals and roadway sensors. This allows for real-time traffic information, traffic signal prioritization for emergency vehicles, and warning messages about road hazards.
Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Communication: V2V communication enables vehicles to communicate with each other, exchanging information about their speed, position, and trajectory. This technology can help prevent accidents by providing drivers with warnings about potential collisions and allowing for coordinated actions, such as cooperative adaptive cruise control.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS): ADAS use sensors and onboard computing to assist drivers in various tasks, such as lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking. These systems enhance safety by providing warnings and assistance to drivers in potentially dangerous situations.
Intelligent Infrastructure: ITS includes the integration of sensors and smart devices into transportation infrastructure, such as bridges, tunnels, and highways. These sensors can monitor structural health, detect environmental conditions, and provide real-time information for maintenance and operation.
Smart Parking Systems: ITS includes technologies for managing and optimizing parking, such as sensor-based parking availability detection, electronic payment systems, and guidance systems that direct drivers to available parking spaces.
Traveler Information Systems: ITS provides travelers with real-time information about traffic conditions, public transportation schedules, and alternative routes through dynamic message signs, smartphone apps, and websites. This information helps travelers make informed decisions and plan their routes more efficiently.
Freight and Logistics Management: ITS includes systems for tracking and managing freight shipments, optimizing supply chain logistics, and coordinating freight movements to reduce congestion and improve efficiency in freight transportation.
Overall, Intelligent Transportation Systems play a crucial role in improving the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of transportation networks by leveraging advanced technologies to enhance infrastructure, vehicles.
2. INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION
SYSTEM (ITS)
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.
3. NEED OF I.T.S
Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) intend to add
information and communications technology to transport
infrastructure and vehicles to improve:
Each year, 80,000 people lose their lives on our nation’s
roads
Driver and passenger lose 243 hours each year to never-
wracking traffic jam
To know the position of the vehicle at instantaneous time.

5. Various forms of wireless communications technologies
have been proposed for intelligent transportation
systems. Short-range communications (less than 500
yards) can be accomplished using IEEE 802.11
protocols, specifically WAVE or the Dedicated Short
Range Communications standard being promoted by
the Intelligent Transportation Society of America and
the United States Department of Transportation.
Theoretically, the range of these protocols can be
extended using Mobile ad-hoc networks or Mesh
networking.
WIRELESS
COMMUNICATIONS
6. COMPUTATIONAL
TECHNOLOGIES
Recent advances in vehicle electronics have led to a move
toward fewer, more capable computer processors on a
vehicle. A typical vehicle in the early 2000s would have
between 20 and 100 individual networked
microcontroller/Programmable logic controller modules with
non-real-time operating systems. The current trend is toward
fewer, more costly microprocessor modules with hardware
memory management and Real-Time Operating Systems.
7. Virtually every car contains one or more mobile phones. These
mobile phones routinely transmit their location information to the
network – even when no voice connection is established. This
allows them to be used as anonymous traffic probes. As the car
moves, so does the signal of the mobile phone.
much less expensive than sensors or cameras
more coverage: all locations and streets
faster to set up (no work zones) and less maintenance
works in all weather conditions, including heavy rain

8. SENSING TECHNOLOGIES:
Technological advances in telecommunications and information
technology coupled with state-of-the-art microchips, RFID, and
inexpensive intelligent beacon sensing technologies have enhanced
the technical capabilities to facilitate motorist safety benefits for
Intelligent transportation systems globally. Sensing systems for ITS
are vehicle and infrastructure-based networked systems, e.g.,
Intelligent vehicle technologies.
9. Inductive loops can be placed in a roadbed to detect vehicles passing
over the loop by measuring the vehicle's magnetic field. The simplest
detectors simply count the number of vehicles that pass over the loop
during a unit of time (typically 60 seconds in the United States). At the
same time, more sophisticated sensors estimate the speed, length, and
weight of vehicles and the distance between them. Loops can be placed
in a single lane or across multiple lanes, and they work with very slow
or stopped vehicles and vehicles moving at highspeed.
INDUCTIVE LOOP DETECTION:
10. VIDEO VEHICLE DETECTION:
Traffic flow measurement and automatic incident detection
using video cameras is another form of vehicle detection.
Since video detection systems such as those used in automatic
number plate recognition do not involve installing any
components directly into the road surface or roadbed, this type
of system is known as a "non-intrusive" traffic detection
method. Video from black-and-white or colour cameras is fed
into processors that analyse the changing characteristics of the
video image as vehicles pass. The cameras are typically
mounted on poles or structures above or adjacent to the
roadway.

12. INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION
APPLICATIONS
ELECTRONIC TOLL COLLECTION
Electronic toll collection (ETC) makes it possible for vehicles
to drive through toll gates at traffic speed, reducing congestion
at toll plazas and automating toll collection. Originally ETC
systems were used to automate toll collection, but more recent
innovations have used ETC to enforce congestion pricing
through cordon zones in city centers and ETC lanes.
13. EMERGENCY VEHICLE NOTIFICATION
SYSTEMS
The in-vehicle eCall is an emergency call 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 E1-1-2 Public-safety answering
point, PSAP). 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.
14. AUTOMATIC ROAD ENFORCEMENT
A traffic enforcement 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.
15. DYNAMIC TRAFFIC
LIGHT SEQUENCE
Intelligent RFID traffic control has been
developed for dynamic traffic light
sequences. It has circumvented or
avoided the problems that usually arise
with systems such as image processing
and beam interruption techniques. RFID
technology with appropriate algorithm
and data base was applied to a multi-
vehicle, multi-lane and multi-road
junction area to provide an efficient time
management scheme.
16. I.T.S REQUIREMENTS IN INDIA

17. ROAD SAFETY IN INDIA
Ownership of cars in India - 6 per thousand of the population as against 500 in
developed economies.
Number of fatalities per 10,000 vehicles - 14.39 in India, compared to 1.0 to 2.50 in
many high-income countries
Causes Of Road Accidents
➢ Driver’s 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
18. Electronic Toll Collection in India
Electronic toll collection (ETC) is a wireless system to automatically collect the usage fee
or toll charged to vehicles using toll roads, HOV lanes, toll bridges, and toll tunnels. It is a faster
alternative which is replacing toll booths, where vehicles must Stop and the driver manually pays
the toll with cash or a card. In most systems, vehicles using the system are equipped with an
automated radio transponder device. When the vehicle passes a roadside toll reader device, a radio
signal from the reader triggers the transponder, which transmits back an identifying number which
registers the vehicle's use of the road, and an electronic payment system charges the user the toll. A
major advantage is the driver does not have to stop, reducing traffic delays.
19. CONCLUSION
Road safety has become a pressing issue in India.
The number of deaths has reached up to 80,000
