Intelligent transportation system is a single unit traffic solution for today's urban world.
FREMONT, CA: Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) enables the surveillance of incidents on traffic, highways, or national roads and helps to manage the traffic administration. It combines automated traffic data collection to protect and maintain the traffic network. ITS revolves around the concept of a smart city with full digital access for efficient and advanced living. It encourages the idea of better transportation networking, which can bring considerable improvements in the driving ways, traffic control, and incidents on roads. The technique works with the combination of sensors, analysis, communicative technologies, and power to the transport.
ITS requires a wide range of devices and applications that can process and share real-time activities like checking and controlling speed limits, alerting the nearest administrative checkpoint in case of any rule violations or miss happening incidents, electronic toll collections, traffic signal coordination, and traveler information system. In our day to day life, it can be safe and convenient to travel with improved transportation systems. As proper management can lead to better traffic control, improvement in traveling time, automatic maintenance of safer distance from another vehicle can reduce the chances of accident and damage, an active alert system in case of mechanical issue can increase the rate of a better transport management system. ITS intersects the different technologies and enables them to build a perfect framework for the traffic system.
ITS leverages various concepts from major platforms, such as industrial, mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering. Monitoring the traffic data using several sensors or detectors can help the traffic centers to make better decisions on complicated traffics situations. Analyzing data, processing, communicating, distributing, and utilizing the information creates a dynamic set of work by ITS. With the expansions of urbanization, the number of vehicles on the road has increased rapidly; hence, there is enormous pressure on the traffic management authorities to maintain a better and hassle-free traffic system. The intelligent transportation system proves to be a necessary strategy to consider.
