What is an Intelligent Transport System (ITS)?

Intelligent Transport System (ITS) provide smart means of transportation.ITS continuously monitor traffic conditions such as demand, weather and accidents through sensors. The obtained information is used to actively manage traffic and reduce congestion and accidents.

Some measures to increase capacity or mitigate the negative effects of traffic congestion with ITS include:

• Hard shoulder running
• Variable message signs
• Emergency vehicle preemption
• Parking management and guidance systems
• V2X communication
• Coordinated Traffic Adaptive Signals
• Transit Signal Priority
• Automatic accident detection
