    The document discusses the application of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). ITS uses sensors, data collection and analysis to manage traffic flow and provide traveler information. It gives the example of Glasgow, where sensors in buses help regulate schedules. The key aspects of ITS are data collection via devices, transmission of data to Traffic Management Centers, analysis of data, and providing traveler information via various systems. ITS provides benefits like safety, congestion control and efficient infrastructure use for growing urban areas.

    The application of ITS is widely accepted and used in many countries today.

     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.

    One such example is the city of Glasgow. In the city, Intelligent Transport System gives regular
    information to the daily commuters about public buses, timings, seat availability, the current location
    of the bus, time taken to reach a particular destination, next location of the bus and the density of
    passengers inside the bus.

    Iain Langlands, GIS and Data Manager, Glasgow City Council explains, bus operators in the city have
    the sensors in their buses. So, if the bus is going to be early to the next bus stop the bus is
    temporarily and very slightly is slowed down at the red light little longer than it should be to make
    sure the bus is on time and do not ahead of the schedule”. The system has been designed so smartly
    that passengers and even drivers are unaware of the delay as they are very little delays.

    Application areas of Intelligent Transport System


    The entire application of ITS is based on data collection, analysis and using the results of the analysis
    in the operations, control and research concepts for traffic management where location plays an
    important role.

    Here sensors, information processors, communication systems, roadside messages, GPS updates and
    automated traffic prioritization signals play an imperative role in the application of:

    1-      Advanced Traffic Management System

    2-      Advanced Traveler Information System

    3-      Advanced Vehicle Control system

    4-      Advanced Public Transportation System

    5-      Advanced Rural Transportation Systems

    6-      Advanced Commercial Vehicles Operations system

    How Intelligent Transport System works?


    Traffic Management Centre (TMC) is the vital unit of ITS. It is mainly a technical system administered
    by the transportation authority. Here all data is collected and analyzed for further operations and
    control management of the traffic in real time or information about local transportation vehicle.

    Well-organized and proficient operations of Traffic Management Centre depends on automatized


    data collection with precise location information than analysis of that data to generate accurate
    information and then transmitting it back to travelers.  Let’s understand the entire process in a more
    detailed way.

    Data collection:  Strategic planning needs precise, extensive and prompt data collection with real-
    time observation. So the data here is collected via varied hardware devices that lay the base of
    further ITS functions. These devices are Automatic Vehicle Identifiers, GPS based automatic vehicle
    locators, sensors, camera etc. The hardware mainly records the data like traffic count, surveillance,
    travel speed and travel time, location, vehicle weight, delays etc. These hardware devices are
    connected to the servers generally located at data collection centre which stores large amounts of
    data for further analysis.

    Data Transmission: Rapid and real-time information communication is the Key to proficiency in ITS
    implementation so this aspect of ITS consists of the transmission of collected data from the field to
    TMC and then sending back that analyzed information from TMC to travelers. Traffic-related
    announcements are communicated to the travelers through internet, SMS or onboard units of
    Vehicle. Other methods of communications are dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) using
    radio and Continuous Air Interface Long and Medium Range (CAILM) using cellular connectivity and
    infra-red links.

    Data Analysis: The data that has been collected and received at TMC is processed further in various
    steps. These steps are error rectification, data cleaning, data synthesis, and adaptive logical analysis.
    Inconsistencies in data are identified with specialized software and rectified. After that data is further
    altered and pooled for analysis. This mended collective data is analyzed further to predict traffic
    scenario which is available to deliver appropriate information to users.

    Traveler Information: Travel Advisory Systems (TAS) is used to inform transportation updates to the
    traveling user. The system delivers real-time information like travel time, travel speed, delay,
    accidents on roads, change in route, diversions, work zone conditions etc. This information is
    delivered by a wide range of electronic devices like variable message signs, highway advisory radio,
    internet, SMS, automated cell.

    With urbanization expanding with speedy stride, number of vehicles on road is also increasing.
    Combination of both in return puts enormous pressure on cities to maintain a better traffic system so
    that the city keeps on moving without any hassle. For the purpose application of Intelligent Transport
    System is the only solution. ITS is a win-win situation for both citizens and city administrators where
    it provides safety and comfort to citizens and easy maintenance and surveillance to city
    administrators.
