On
Intelligent Transport
System

2. The topics which I will discuss
• What is Intelligent Transportation System(I.T.S)
• Problems in Transportation
• What are the features of I.T.S which is practiced
in the world
• The I.T.S status in India
• The various requirements of I.T.S in India
• Conclusion
• Reference

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. 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

6. VARIOUS THOUGHTS WHICH COME
TO MIND WHILE DRIVING……..

7. FEATURES OF THE INTELLIGENT
TRANSPORATION SYSTEM

8. Intelligent transportation
technologies
• Wireless communications
• Computational technologies
• Sensing technologies
• Video vehicle detection
• Probe & smart vehicles
• The incident detection centers
• In vehicle information & route guide

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.

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).

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.

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
