Intelligent Transportation System
(ITS)
 ITS is an emerging transportation system which is comprised of
an advanced information and telecommunication network for
users, roads and vehicles.
 ITS is the integrated application of advanced Technologies using
electronics, computers and advanced sensors.
 These applications provide travelers with important
information while improving the safety, mobility and efficiency
of the transportation system.

• Sensing technologies
• Inductive loop detection
• Video vehicle detection
Wireless Communication Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC)

 It offers communication between the vehicle and the roadside in

specific locations (for example toll plazas).
 It is a sub-set of the RFID technology (Radio- frequency
identification).

Continuous Air interface Long and Medium range

(CALM)
 CALM provides continuous communications between a vehicle and
the roadside using a variety of communication media, including
cellular and infrared links.
 CALM will provide a range of applications, including vehicle safety and
information, as well as entertainment for driver and passengers.
Floating Car Data/Cellular Data This method is a set of relatively low-cost method for obtaining
travel time and speed data for vehicles traveling along streets,
highways, freeways, and other transportation routes. There are
three methods have been used to obtain the raw data:
o Triangulation Method - The phones periodically
transmit their presence information to the mobile
phone network, even when no voice connection is
established.
o Vehicle Re-identification - Vehicle re-identification
methods require sets of detectors mounted along the
road.
o GPS Based Methods - An increasing number of vehicles
are equipped with GPS systems that have two-way
communication with a traffic data provider.
Sensing Technologies
• Sensing systems for Intelligent Transportation
System are vehicle and infrastructure based
networked systems
• Pavement loops are used to sense the presence of
vehicle demand at intersections and parking lot
entrances.
• Pressure pads are used to sense the presence of
pedestrians waiting to cross a roadway.
Inductive Loop Detection
• One or more loops of wire are embedded
under the road & connected to a control
box.
• When a vehicle passes over or rests on the
loop, inductance is reduced showing a
vehicle is present.
Video Vehicle Detection

• Video vehicle detection (VVD) is one of the

most widely used method. Video detection
is an image processor.
• It consists of a microprocessor-base CPU
and software that analyzes video images.

Electronic Toll
Collection

 Today, most toll roads are equipped with an

electronic toll-collection system, like E-Z Pass,
that detects and processes tolls electronically.
2.
Emergency Vehicle
Notification
System
 Intelligent transportation systems model can also be
used to provide advance warning to motorists of traffic
jams, accidents and other emergency situations.
 This system can then provide alternative routes or
recommendations to motorists so as to avoid congestion
and travel delays.
3.
 A traffic enforcement system, consisting of a
camera and a vehicle-monitoring device, is used
Automatic Road to detect and identify vehicles.
Enforcement  Disobeying a speed limit or some other road
legal requirement and automatically fines,
offenders based on the license plate number.
 Traffic tickets are sent by mail.

Service
  Emergency Management Services are
greatly enhanced by traffic control centers

conditions.
Emergency  When an incident occurs, the nearest
Management emergency service vehicle is located
Service electronically and dispatched to the scene.
 Highway managers then alert other drivers
of the incident through dynamic message
signs.
