Editor's Notes
- #6 Encouragement of two wheelers and car users to start using the public transport system to bring down traffic congestion and to keep the environment green and healthy. Reduction in waiting time for passengers
- #7 1st picture: This form of extensive and integrated ITS deployment is a first for India, and hence can be viewed as a national demonstration. (2012) The ITS system consists of AVLC based on GPS, GSM/GPRS and real-time passenger information at bus stations, bus stops, and in-vehicle; 2nd picture: Started one year ago….running successfully at deployed locations with approximately 15 min.
- #9 It is one of the world's largest railway networks In 2015-16, IR carried 8.101 billion passengers annually or more than 22 million passengers a day and 1.107 billion tons of freight in the year. Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS)-------NTES (National Train Enquiry System)--------2013.
- #11 . ITS provide the opportunity to increase the use of existing transportation system and generate additional capacity from the existing physical infrastructure
- #12 The efficient movement of freight is essential to the economy Supporting an efficient, cost-effective freight transportation systems encourage local industries to compete effectively in international markets
