This document discusses intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in India. It begins with defining ITS as using information and communication technologies to improve transportation safety, reliability, and efficiency. It then outlines some of the key problems with transportation in India like traffic congestion and road accidents. The document proceeds to describe various ITS applications used worldwide like electronic toll collection, emergency vehicle notification, and automatic road enforcement. It concludes by emphasizing the growing need for ITS and road safety initiatives in India given the rapid rise in vehicles and road fatalities.

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. 3

4. BASIC IDEA OF 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.

5. PROBLEMS IN
TRANSPORTATION
• TRAFFIC CONGESTION
• FUEL CONSUMPTION
• TO REDUCE ROAD
ACCIDENTS

9. 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.
• 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.

10. 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.

11. I.T.S REQUIREMENTS IN INDIA
• Number of vehicles – Risen hence road accidents have also increased.
• World’s highest annual road fatalities - 80,000 persons killed on
Indian roads every year.
• I.T.S India project –
• To improve road safety and the efficiency of transportation systems.
• Close cooperation between European and Indian stakeholders, defining key
issues for ITS deployment in particular, Intelligent Integrated Safety
Systems.

12. ROAD SAFETY IN INDIA
• Ownership of cars in India - 6 per thousand of 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

13. COMMERCIAL VEHICLE
OPERATIONS
• What is commercial vehicle operations?
Approximately four million commercial freight vehicles (largely trucks) ply
Indian roads, and over 68% of freight moves by road in the country.
• All businesses rely on efficient, cost- effective and safe means of transport
for freight movement.
• Worldwide there are a range of existing applications available aimed at
improving Commercial Vehicle Operations including fleet and freight
management, vehicle tracking and Electronic Toll Collection.
Electronic Toll Collection
• How is it practiced in India?

14. eSafety IN INDIA
• What is eSafety? Why is it required in
India?
Car
manufacturers
Transport
service
providers
eSafety
Telecom
companies

15. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
SYSTEMS
• What is Emergency Management System?
• Emergency Management has four phases:-
➢ Sense the type of emergency and the location
➢ Reach the victim with appropriate personnel and
equipment, as required
➢ Care for the victim as appropriate
➢ Feedback to enable audit and healthy evolution of
the system and its services.

16. TRAFFIC AND TRAVELLER
INFORMATION
• Variable/Changeable Message Signs -Travelers around the
metropolitan cities are being assisted with
Variable/Changeable Message Signs (VMS, CMS) and
dynamic route guidance systems for travel conditions and
directions.
• G.I.S information system -The Bangalore Metropolitan
Transport Corporation (BMTC) is one of the few public
transport agencies using satellite navigation technology for
fleet tracking and monitoring, and they want to upgrade their
systems to provide real-time information to their passengers.
16

17. PUBLIC TRANSPORT
• Improving the accessibility and attractiveness of public
transport is a key factor to help reduce congestion in towns
and cities.
• Public transport management has the important task of
coordinating the various forms of public transport to allow
multi-modal travel.
Safety in Public Transport
• Over the two decades 1975-95 the number of road accident
fatalities increased in India by 282% and injuries by 220%.
Data for 1995 shows that buses and Heavy Goods Vehicles
were involved in 35% of accidents (TERI Report).
17

18. CONCLUSION
• Road safety has become a pressing issue in India.
• The number of deaths has reached upto 80,0000
• The rapid increase in eSafety is in growing demand to the day.
• The making of new vehicles should be well equipped with
necessary technologies.
• To change the road user culture. This includes stronger levels
of traffic regulation and enforcement.
18

19. Finally to sum up……….
• ➢ Raising awareness on ITS and road safety
• ➢ protecting vulnerable road users
• ➢ Traffic Management
• ➢ Emergency Response Management
• ➢ Commercial Vehicle Operations
• ➢ Traffic and Traveler information
• ➢ Public Transport Management
