Research into Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Technologies and Efficiency

In this paper, the author introduces the primary enabling technologies associated with Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Included in the analysis is an explanation as to why transportation professionals need to involve human factors experts in the early design stages of ITS equipment and facilities. The author discusses the concept of an information chain and how ITS enabling technologies can be placed into the following categories: data acquisition, data processing, information distribution, and information utilization. Under data acquisition, the author discusses road-based data sources (such as traffic detectors) and vehicle-based data sources (such as automatic vehicle identification (AVI) and vehicle probes). Under data processing, the author looks at traffic and travel information, automatic incident detection (AID), vehicle location and navigation, and location-based services. The author concludes with a discussion on how to effectively determine the efficiency of ITS.
