2. Definition of ITS
Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are advanced
applications which aim to provide innovative services relating to
different modes of transport and traffic management and
enable various users to be better informed and make safer,
more coordinated, and 'smarter' use of transport networks .

3. • Although ITS may refer to all modes of transport,
EU Directive 2010/40/EU (7 July 2010) defines ITS
as ‘systems in which information and
communication technologies are applied in the
field of road transport, including
1) infrastructure,
2) vehicles and users, and in
3)traffic management and mobility
management, as well as for interfaces with other
modes of transport.

5. ITS Technologies
4 technologies are involved in ITS:
• Sensors - Roadway Sensors, Microwave Radar Detectors, Infrared
Sensors, Ultrasonic Detectors, Acoustic Detectors,
Magnetometers.
• Communication - electronic road pricing, online
travel information, vehicle-to-vehicle communication.
• Computing - computerised traffic signalling and automatic and
eco-driver assistance
• Algorithms – computer vision algorithms, traffic flow guidance
algorithms, etc

6. ITS applications:
•car navigation;
•traffic signal control systems;
•variable message signs;
•automatic number plate recognition or speed cameras to
monitor applications, such as security CCTV systems;

7. It includes more advanced applications that
integrate live data and feedback from a
number of other sources, such as:
• parking guidance and information systems;
• weather information; bridge de-icing
systems;
• Additionally, predictive techniques are being
developed to allow advanced modelling and
comparison with historical baseline data.

8. Vehicle
telematics is
used to
describe
vehicle
onboard
communication
services and
applications
that
communicate
with one
another via
GPS
receivers and
other
telematics
devices. The
most common
application of
this is vehicle

10. • Intelligent Transportation System integrates current and
growing communication technologies.
• Due to emergence of many technologies, the
transportation system is able to improve transportation
conditions, safety and services.
1) Wireless communications
2) Computational technologies
3) Floating car data/floating cellular data
4) Sensing technologies
5) Inductive loop detection
6) Video vehicle detection
7) Bluetooth detection
