Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is the application of modern information technology and communications to transportation operations and management. The goal of ITS is to improve the transportation system to make it more effective, more efficient and safer. By applying the latest technological advancements to our transportation system, ITS can help meet the increasing demand for more infrastructure by improving the quality, safety and effective capacity of our existing infrastructure. ITS represents a wide array of applications from advanced signal control systems to traveler information systems to collision warning systems. It is important to know which technologies and technological combinations provide the greatest benefits to the public agencies installing them and the motorists relying on them.
