Potential intelligent transport systems and interoperability of tolling in India

This paper explains intelligent transport systems (ITS), in terms of its efforts to add information and communications technology to transport infrastructure and vehicles. Its goal is to manage factors that are typically at odds with one another, such as vehicles, loads, and routes, in order to improve safety and reduce vehicle wear, transportation times, and fuel consumption. Because travel volume in India in specific corridors is so high, any application of ITS is likely to provide great benefits. The trucking industry is another area of promising application, in that a well thought-out fleet management system with low cost Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) communication will provide efficiency and effectiveness in terms of total integration. In order for tolling to be integrated seamlessly into travel across the network, ITS is required. Traffic management is the concept that dominates the discussion here.
