The document discusses intelligent transportation systems (ITS) which use technology to improve transportation efficiency and safety. ITS can sense traffic and road conditions using static sensors, mobile sensors in vehicles, or hybrid approaches. Sensing techniques include loops/magnetic sensors, images/videos, acoustic sensors, and RF sensors from static infrastructure, and GPS, smartphones, and specialized vehicle hardware for mobile sensing. ITS applications include traffic management, public transportation information, emergency management, and commercial vehicle monitoring to provide benefits like safety, productivity, and environmental performance. The document concludes that ITS could help address India's traffic congestion problems through evaluation and innovation of solutions.

2. Introduction
Intelligent Transportation System
Performs tasks according to
internal regulations
Collaborate in the movement
of freight and passengers
Have the ability to learn, adapt to new situations and use
knowledge to enhance operational efficiency

3. 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

4. Static sensing techniques
 Loops and magnetic
sensors
 Images and videos
 Acoustic sensors
 RF sensors

5. Mobile sensing techniques
 GPS on public transport
or fleet vehicles
 GPS on Smartphone's -
With the recent
proliferation
 Sensors on
Smartphone's - Other
than GPS, smart phones
also have sensors
 Using ordinary phones
 Specialized hardware on
vehicles
 Social networking

6. Characteristics of its
 Travel and transport management
 Enroute driver information
 Route guidance
 Traveler information
 Incident management
 Travel-demand management
 Pre-trip travel information
 Ride matching
 Electronic payment services
 Advanced vehicle control and safety system

7.  Public transportation operations
 Public transportation management
 Enroute transit information
 Public travel security
 Emergency management
 Emergency notification and personal security
 Emergency vehicle management
 Commercial vehicle operations
 Commercial vehicle electronic clearance
 Commercial vehicle administrative processes
 On-board safety monitoring
Characteristics of its

8. The I.T.S. architecture
Based on:
Choice of application
Choice of sensing method
Choice of communication

9. 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

10. ITS applications
One set of applications is for
traffic management.
• Intersection control
• Incident detection
• Vehicle classification
• Monitoring
• Revenue collection
• Historical traffic data

11. Benefits of ITS
• Safety
Smooth traffic flows and reduce accidents, to direct traffic
away from accidents, alert emergency services
• Productivity
Congestion lowers productivity
• Environmental Performance
ITS that reduce congestion, stop-start driving, fuel
consumption, greenhouse gas emissions

12. Conclusion
Traffic congestion is an important problem in Indian
cities.
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.
