INTRODUCTION :

ITS stands for Intelligent Transport System.

Intelligent transport system (ITS) is the application of sensing, analysis,
control and communications technologies to ground transportation in order
to improve safety, mobility and efficiency.
ITS is a national program aimed at using modern computers and
communications to make travel smarter, faster, safer and more convenient.
ITS makes travel safer and less time-consuming, and makes it easier to
chose the way you wish to travel.
Why ITS needed? :
Inadequate road development.
Low speed, increased accident rates.
It is not possible to build enough new roads or to meet the demand.
Make transportation system more efficient, secure, and safer through the
use of information, communications and control technologies.
Improve the attractiveness of public transport.
Reduce the environmental impacts of transport.
OBJECTIVE :

To improve traffic safety

To relieve traffic congestion
To improve transportation efficiency
To reduce air pollution
To promote the development of related industries
How ITS work? :
DATA COLLECTION :  
Strategic planning needs precise, extensive and prompt data collection
with real-time observation.
So the data here is collected via varied hardware devices that lay the
base of further ITS functions.
These devices are Automatic Vehicle Identifiers, GPS based automatic
vehicle locators, sensors, camera etc.
 The hardware mainly records the data like traffic count, surveillance,
travel speed and travel time, location, vehicle weight, delays etc.
These hardware devices are connected to the servers generally located at
data collection centre which stores large amounts of data for further
analysis.
How ITS work? :
DATA TRANSMISSION :
Rapid and real-time information communication is the Key to
proficiency in ITS implementation so this aspect of ITS consists of the
transmission of collected data from the field to TMC and then sending
back that analyzed information from TMC to travellers.
Traffic-related announcements are communicated to the travellers
through internet, SMS or onboard units of Vehicle. Other methods of
communications are dedicated short-range communications (DSRC)
using radio and Continuous Air Interface Long and Medium Range
(CAILM) using cellular connectivity and infra-red links.
How ITS work? :
DATA ANALYSIS :
The data that has been collected and received at TMC is processed
further in various steps.
These steps are error rectification, data cleaning, data synthesis, and
adaptive logical analysis.
Inconsistencies in data are identified with specialized software and
rectified.
After that data is further altered and pooled for analysis.
his mended collective data is analyzed further to predict traffic scenario
which is available to deliver appropriate information to users.
How ITS work? :
TRAVELLER INFORMATION : 
Travel Advisory Systems (TAS) is used to inform transportation updates
to the travelling user.
The system delivers real-time information like travel time, travel speed,
delay, accidents on roads, change in route, diversions, work zone
conditions etc.
 This information is delivered by a wide range of electronic devices like
variable message signs, highway advisory radio, internet, SMS,
automated cell.
How ITS work? :
With urbanization expanding with speedy stride, number of vehicles on
road is also increasing.
Combination of both in return puts enormous pressure on cities to
maintain a better traffic system so that the city keeps on moving without
any hassle.
 For the purpose application of Intelligent Transport System is the only
solution.
ITS is a win-win situation for both citizens and city administrators where
it provides safety and comfort to citizens and easy maintenance and
surveillance to city administrators.
How ITS work? :
APPLICATION:
Real-time parking management
Electronic toll collection
Emergency vehicle notification systems
Automated road speed enforcement
Speed alerts
RFID in freight transportation
Variable speed limits
Dynamic traffic light sequence
Collision avoidance systems

APPLICATION :
What ITS does Differently :
Incorporates advanced management techniques and technology to improve
productivity.
Increasing efficiency in existing systems and programs.
Integrates and facilitates coordination between relevant systems and
programs.
Provides travel information before and during the trip for informed decision
making.
It applies innovative and advanced technologies to make transportation
system safer, more efficient, and more customer service-oriented.
The concept of Integrating the Transportation System within a region.
ITS has the ability to learn and  adapt to changing scenarios.
ADVANTAGES:
Improved safety.
Batter traffic flow.
Lower travel cost.
Reduction in stops and delays at intersections.
Speed control & improvement.
Travel time improvement.
Batter Environmental quality.
Better travel information.
Better planning information.
ADVANTAGES:
Difficult to use in mixed traffic.
Preliminary difficulties in understanding.
ITS equipments costly.
The control system software could be hacked by hackers.
