Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) use information and communications technologies to improve transportation safety, mobility, and efficiency. ITS applications in India could include traffic management systems, congestion maps to inform commuters, and public transit information. Effectively implementing ITS requires selecting appropriate applications, sensing methods like static road sensors or mobile devices, and a communication network to share data. ITS has the potential to address India's problems of traffic congestion, fuel consumption, and reducing road accidents.
ITS is the system defined as the electronics, advanced technology, communications or information processing used singly or integrated to enhance safety, mobility, and the economic vitality of the surface transportation system. The Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) makes automobiles and the road traffic infrastructure intellectual and information-oriented in an integrated way to provide a safe and comfortable traffic system.

Techniques for Smart Traffic Control: An In-depth ReviewEditor IJCATR
Inadequate space and funds for the construction of new roads and the steady increase in number of vehicles has prompted
scholars to investigate other solutions to traffic congestion. One area gaining interest is the use of smart traffic control systems (STCS)
to make traffic routing decisions. These systems use real time data and try to mimic human reasoning thus prove promising in vehicle
traffic control and management. This paper is a review on the motivations behind the emergence of STCS and the different types of
these systems in use today for road traffic management. They include – fuzzy expert systems (FES), artificial neural networks (ANN)
and wireless sensor networks (WSN). We give an in depth study on the design, benefits and limitations of each technique. The paper
cites and analyses a number of successfully tested and implemented STCS. From these reviews we are able to derive comparisons of
the STCS discussed in this paper. For instance, for a learning or adaptive system, ANN is the best approach; for a system that just
routes traffic based on real time data and does not need to derive any data patterns afterwards, then FES is the best approach; for a
cheaper alternative to the FES, then WSN is the least costly approach. All prove effective in traffic control and management with
respect to the context in which each of them is used.

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.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

3. WHAT IS I.T.S?
• 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.
4. WHAT IS I.T.S?
Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) intend to add information and
communications technology to transport infrastructure and
vehicles in an effort to improve:
Safety
Reliability
Efficiency
Quality of means of transport.
6. ITS applications
• Indian traffic can benefit
from several possible ITS
applications. One set of
applications is for traffic
management.
• Intersection control
• Incident detection
• Vehicle classification
• Monitoring
• Revenue collection
• Historical traffic data
7. ITS applications
• Another set of applications
can aid the commuters on
roads.
• Congestion maps and travel
time estimates
• Public transport
• Information about arrival of
public transport
• Individual vehicle
management - Getting
information
• Accident handling -
Emergency
8. Technique used
There are several existing modes
of sensing:
• static sensing, where sensors
are statically placed on the
road,
• mobile sensing, where
sensors are placed in the
moving vehicles
• hybrid sensing, where both
in-vehicle
and on-road infrastructure are
needed
9. Technique used
Static sensing: techniques
• Loops and magnetic sensors -
Vehicle detection and counting using
magnetic sensors or loops under the
road surface, and deployed systems
• Images and videos - Video
surveillance to monitor traffic states
and detect incidents and hotspots is
fairly common gives a comprehensive
survey of the major computer vision
techniques used in traffic applications.
• Acoustic sensors - Some recent
research is being done to use acoustic
sensors for traffic state estimation,
especially in developing regions,
where traffic being chaotic is noisy .
• RF sensors - Wireless radios placed
across the road have communication
signals affected by vehicular
movement in between..
10. Technique used
Mobile sensing: techniques
• GPS on public transport or fleet
vehicles – Many public transport and
fleet companies have GPS installed in
their vehicles for real time tracking..
• GPS on Smartphone's - With the
recent proliferation of smart phones,
Smartphone GPS is being studied for
hotspot detection and travel time
estimation, after handling noise in
GPS readings
• Sensors on Smartphone's - Other
than GPS, smart phones also have
sensors that can provide interesting
information. [28] solved the problem
of reorienting the accelerometer of a
Smartphone to match the car axes.
11. Technique used
• Using ordinary phones - Some researchers have tried using ordinary cell
phones, instead of Smartphone's, for traffic sensing. Localizing ordinary
phones based on only cellular tower and Wi-Fi information and adding
sensors to ordinary phone hardware are two main research focus in this
area This sensing using phones, popularly called crowd sourcing has
related research on privacy and power issues, as these would affect user
participation.
• Specialized hardware on vehicles - Some researchers have used
specialized hardware in vehicles. which detects road anomalies and which
tracks stolen properties are examples. which uses ultrasound transceivers
to find empty parking spaces and which calculates fuel usage, are
applications for individual vehicle owners using customized hardware.
• Social networking- took a fresh perspective of getting information from
crowd through blogs posted via smart phones.
12. Technique used
Hybrid sensing: techniques There are a set of techniques that use
both static infrastructure and mobile sensors to gain traffic
information.
(1) Teledensity - Cell phone operators can give approximate vehicle
densities in the neighborhood of a given cell tower, based on
subscribers seen at that tower. There are commercial systems and
research efforts are based on this.
(2) Bluetooth – it is a system where roadside Bluetooth detectors
sense Bluetooth radios in phones inside vehicles. Correlating the
sensed Bluetooth addresses among different detectors, gives travel
times of the vehicles between the detectors.
(3) RFID - Similar systems are being explored using RFID tags on
vehicles and RFID readers on roads [
13. The I.T.S. architecture
• Having discussed a set of intended
applications and several possible
sensing methods, the next question
to ask is how to put it all together
for Indian cities, so that the
maximum possible number of
applications are handled with ease
and accuracy. Should we prioritize
the list of applications, so that
some are given higher importance
than the others? How should we
select what sensing methods to
use? What should be the overall
system architecture, including the
communication model needed to
gather sensed and/or computed
data from the roads and dissipate
information back to commuters on
the road?
14. The I.T.S. architecture
Choice of applications –
• The traffic applications currently available are rudimentary,
with periodic updates gathered from traffic police broadcast
on FM radios . There are a few route planners that give bus
and train plans, but the plans are static, without considering
the current congestion levels on different roads. The junctions
where the major roads intersect one another are shown by
red squares and those where the minor roads intersect the
major roads are shown by blue dots.
15. The I.T.S. architecture
Choice of sensing method -
• Participatory sensing data is inherently noisy . Also probe
vehicles might not be present at a given intersection at all
times. Such sensing methods can thus be used for
applications like travel time estimates and congestion maps to
be disseminated to commuters, which can tolerate
aperiodicity and noisiness. Applications like traffic light
control on the other hand, need dedicated static sensors on
the road that give highly accurate and strictly periodic
updates about traffic conditions.
16. The I.T.S. architecture
Choice of communication -
• Given a set of chosen applications and a set of sensing
methods to handle them, how should the communication
model be? For static sensors, the sensed data need to be
transferred to traffic control rooms. At present, out of 160
cameras in Bangalore, connected to central traffic control
room by leased lines, at most 90 cameras send data at any
given time , because of problems in the wired connections.
Instead of this star topology, will a tiered architecture help,
where video feeds from a subset of roads are processed at
local control rooms, before the information is passed to
central control?
17. Benefits of ITS
• Safety—Road crashes cause suffering and loss of life as well as
costing the nation in the order of 6 billion a year. Many collisions
occur due to the stop-start nature of traffic in congested areas. ITS
technologies can be used to smooth traffic flows and reduce
accidents. Information provided through ITS can be used to direct
traffic away from accidents and alert emergency services as soon as
an incident occurs.
• Productivity—Congestion lowers productivity, causes flow-on
delays in supply chains and increases the cost of business. ITS can
increase productivity by finding innovative ways to increase the
capacity of our current infrastructure.
• Environmental Performance—ITS that reduce congestion and stop-
start driving can also reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas
emissions by around 30 per cent compared with normal driving
conditions.
18. Conclusion
Traffic congestion is an important problem in Indian cities.
The characteristics of Indian roads and traffic make the
problem interesting to solve. There is scope for evaluating
existing ideas in different and challenging traffic scenarios,
innovate new solutions and empirically evaluate ideas in
collaboration with public and private sectors. In this paper, we
make a small effort to put together the different ideas and
people relevant in Indian ITS, so that it gives an overview of
the problem and the available solutions and outlines a set of
open questions to answer.

congestion at toll plazas and automating toll collection.
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.
25. Intelligent
transportation
applications
Automatic road 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.
Hot lanes:-
These are the roads where the speed limit is
more than 100 kms./hr. & goes in one
track.There are radiators on the sides of the road
where if the car goes out of lane, it produces
shocks & hence keeps the car on the track.
