Intelligent Transport System

Intelligent Transport System
• Intelligent Transport System can save their time and make the city even smarter
• Intelligent Transport System (ITS) aims to achieve traffic efficiency by minimizing
traffic problems.
• The use is not just limited to traffic congestion control and information, but also
for road safety and efficient infrastructure usage. Because of its endless
possibilities, ITS has now become a multidisciplinary conjunctive field of work and
thus many organizations around the world have developed solutions for providing
ITS applications to meet the need.

• Electronic Payment Status
In line with the Government’s policy to implement e-commerce, the deployment of electronic
transactions in the transportation sector on tolled highways and public transport has progressing
well. Highway toll collection nationwide is currently either transacted through a common smart
card system, or by manual collection.
The same smart cards, which can be reloaded through Automated Teller Machine are also
acceptable by various bus services, parking services and light-rail transit services within the Klang
Valley , where Kuala Lumpur is situated. Effort is being made to accept the same for all modes of
transport within the region.
• Traffic Management Systems
Urban traffic control using computerized traffic light systems capable of adjusting signal timing in
response to traffic volumes and congestion has been implemented independently by various
municipalities in Malaysia . Due to the absence of common technical standards for deployment,
traffic management systems in Malaysia are currently rather fragmented.
• Traveler Information Systems
The City Hall of Kuala Lumpur has embarked on its landmark ITS project known as Integrated
Transport Information System (ITIS). ITIS deals with the provision of Advanced Traffic
Management System (ATMS) and Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS). The system
is capable of detecting traffic congestion; analysing the traffic and calculating travel times. It will
finally update the messages on the VMS (variable message signs) boards, which are strategically
installed within the City of Kuala Lumpur .
• Traffic Control and Surveillance System
All highway concessionaires under their respective agreements with the Government are obliged
to implement TCSS, which involves traffic surveillance and traffic information dissemination. The
main feature of this ITS deployment is the integration of the expressway Automated Incident
Detection (AID) systems with the VMS.
• Commercial Vehicle Monitoring Systems
Various fleets of commercial vehicles are being monitored and managed by their operators. These
fleets inclusive of their consignments, especially fuel-tankers and container prime-movers are
tracked from doors-to-doors using various ITS technologies. Since they are commercial initiatives
to achieve effective and efficient logistics management, the Government does not regulate these
operations, except for the issuance of the necessary licenses by the relevant authorities to
operate various equipment.
However, these systems were installed in an ad hoc manner with little co-ordination among
various operators and the usage has been limited to their individual requirements. This has
however, led to problems in the areas of inter-operability and compatibility.
The initiative taken by Malaysia in developing ITS solutions started with the pilot project entitled
"ITS Strategic Plan for Malaysia : A Way Forward". This project outlined broad principles to be
used in developing a framework for the ITS System Architecture for Malaysia . The ITS initiative
continues with the second project entitled "ITS Master Plan Study for Malaysia ". The objective of
the project is to identify needs among institutions, detail the sectors, user-services and user sub-
services required, and to develop a comprehensive "roadmap" setting the direction and
framework for the deployment of ITS applications in Malaysia .
Among the recommendations made in the ITS Master Plan Study is the immediate development
of the ITS System Architecture for Malaysia , which shall consolidate into a 'blue-print' for the
future ITS deployment to ensure system inter-operability, guided by a set of critical ITS standards.
With the conclusion of these projects, the roadmap points to the next logical step, "The
Development of ITS System Architecture". The Study on the ITS System Architecture for Malaysia
was completed in second quarter of 2007.
Challenges
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies advance transportation safety and mobility
by integrating advanced communications technologies into transportation infrastructure and into
vehicles. ITS encompasses a broad range of wireless and traditional communications-based
information and electronic technologies.
Transportation system in every country faces serious challenges in three fundamental areas;
• Safety
• Mobility
• Environment
ITS Applications Overview

ITS applications focus on both the infrastructure and vehicle, as well as integrated applications
between the two, to enable the creation of an intelligent transportation system. Some of the
most prominent ITS technologies already deployed worldwide include electronic toll collection,
ramp meters, red light cameras, traffic signal coordination, transit signal priority, and traveller
information systems.
• Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) – ETC supports the collection of payment at toll plazas
using automated systems that increase the operational efficiency and convenience of toll
collection. Systems typically consist of vehicle-mounted transponders identified by electronic
readers located in dedicated or mixed-use lanes at toll plazas. ETC has the potential to
significantly increase mobility on the Nation’s transportation system.
• Ramp Meter (RM) – Traffic signals on freeway ramp meters alternate between red and green
signals to control the flow of vehicles entering the freeway. Metering rates can be altered
based on freeway traffic conditions.
• Traffic Signal Coordination (TSC) – TSC provides the ability to synchronize multiple
intersections to enhance the operation of one or more directional movements in a system.
Some examples include arterial streets, downtown networks, and closely spaced intersections
such as diamond interchanges. Adaptive traffic control is a traffic management strategy in
which traffic signal timing changes, or adapts, based on actual traffic demand. This is
accomplished using an adaptive traffic control system consisting of both hardware and
software. Some examples include SCATS, InSync, MASSTR, SCOOT and MTSS.
• Red Light Camera (RLC) – RLCs detect a motor vehicle that passes over sensors in the
pavement after a traffic signal has turned red. The sensors connect to computers in high-
speed cameras, which take two photographs of the violation. Typically, the first photo is taken
of the front of the vehicle when it enters the intersection, and the second photo is taken of the
rear of the vehicle when the vehicle is in the intersection. Law enforcement officials review the
photograph, and a citation is mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle.
• Transit Signal Priority (TSP) – TSP gives special treatment to transit vehicles at signalized
intersections. TSP systems use sensors to detect approaching transit vehicles and alter
signal timings to improve transit performance. For example, some systems extend the
duration of green signals for public transportation vehicles when necessary. Because transit
vehicles can hold many people, giving priority to transit can potentially increase the person
throughput of an intersection.
• Traveler Information Systems (TIS) – Effective TIS are multimodal and support many
categories of drivers and travelers. Traveler information applications use a variety of
technologies, including Internet websites, telephone messages, social media, and television
and radio, to allow users to make informed decisions regarding trip departures, routes, and
mode of travel
