This document discusses various technologies used in intelligent transportation systems, including remote sensing, geographic information systems, and applications like advanced public transport systems, advanced traffic management systems, and advanced traveler information systems. It provides examples of intelligent transportation system implementations in India, describing components like traffic management, electronic toll collection, traveler information, and route guidance. It also outlines the benefits of intelligent transportation systems in improving traffic flow, easing congestion and driver frustration, and monitoring environmental and road conditions.

2. Technology has been driving the developments in the
realm of transportation from the times of Industrial
Revolution to the present day Digital Revolution.
TWO MAIN OBJECTIVES:
1. meeting the demand of faster mobility by different
modes
2. building capacity and expanding network facilities to
accommodate growing traffic needs.

3.  Remote Sensing is a Science or a technology and art of obtaining
reliable information about an object, without being physical contact
with the object. Ex: human eye
 These sensing devices capture the data on the way, various earth
surface features emit and reflect the Electro Magnetic Radiation
(EMR), and provide information about the resources under
investigation
 A Geographical Information System is an organized collection of
computer hardware, software, geographic data and personnel
designed to efficiently capture ,store, update, manipulate ,analyze
and display all forms of geographically referenced information.

4.  Improve vehicle highway system operation and
management techniques
 Optimal use of existing infrastructure
 Remove congestion
 Coordination of traffic movements
 Ease driver’s frustration
 Check environmental condition
 Check stress related accidents

5.  The major MTS application areas can be classified into
the following functional groups:
 Advanced Public Transport Systems (APTS)
 Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS)
 Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS)
 Electronic Toll Collection and Traffic Management
(ETTM)
 Commercial vehicle Operations (CVO)

17.  Danger warning such as vision obscured due to fog,
disable car ahead watch out, slow down falling object
ahead etc., will be displayed
 when the road intersection is closed due to rainfall or due
to some other reasons, information such as turn right at
next intersection and dedour to National Highway xx will
be displayed.

18.  In India 70 State Transport Undertakings, which together own
and operate 1,13,000 buses and, provide mobility to 65 million
passengers a day, across the length and breadth of the country
 It has been proved to be the optimal solution to the enigma of
building and operating transportation systems to meet
expeditiously growing urban travel demand in developed
countries.
As per the saying “Prevention is better than Cure”, it is
better to prevent Road accidents than providing wide Medical
technologies to cure it.
