The topics which I will discuss• What is Intelligent Transportation System(I.T.S)• Problems in Transportation• What are the features of I.T.S which is practiced in

the world• The I.T.S status in India• The various requirements of I.T.S in India• Conclusion• Reference

WHAT IS I.T.S?

The term intelligent transportation system (ITS) refers to efforts to add information and communications technology to transport infrastructure and vehicles in an effort to manage factors that typically are at odds with each other, such as vehicles, loads, and routes to improve safety and reduce vehicle wear, transportation times, and fuel consumption.

BASIC IDEA OF I.T.S

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) intend to add information and communications technology to transport infrastructure and vehicles in an effort to improve:–Safety–reliability–efficiency–quality of means of transport. 

PROBLEMS IN TRANSPORTATION………….• TRAFFIC CONGESTION

• FUEL CONSUMPTION

• TO REDUCE ROAD• ACCIDENTS

VARIOUS THOUGHTS WHICH COME TO MIND WHILE DRIVING……..

FEATURES OF THE INTELLIGENT TRANSPORATION SYSTEM

Intelligent transportation technologies • Wireless communications• Computational technologies • Sensing technologies • Video vehicle detection • Probe & smart vehicles• The incident detection centers• In vehicle information & route guide

Intelligent transportation applications • Electronic toll collection • Electronic toll collection (ETC) makes it

possible for vehicles to drive through toll gates at traffic speed, reducing congestion at toll plazas and automating toll collection.

• Emergency vehicle notification systems • The in-vehicle eCall is an emergency call

generated either manually by the vehicle occupants or automatically via activation of in-vehicle sensors after an accident.

Intelligent transportation applications• Automatic road enforcement • A traffic enforcement camera system,

consisting of a camera and a vehicle-monitoring device, is used to detect and identify vehicles disobeying a speed limit or some other road legal requirement.

• Hot lanes:-• These are the roads where the speed limit is

more than 100 kms./hr. & goes in one track.There are radiators on the sides of the road where if the car goes out of lane, it produces shocks & hence keeps the car on the track.

I.T.S REQUIREMENTS IN INDIA

• Number of vehicles – Risen hence road accidents have also increased.

• World’s highest annual road fatalities - 80,000 persons killed on Indian roads every year.

• I.T.S India project – • To improve road safety and the efficiency of

transportation systems.• Close cooperation between European and Indian

stakeholders, defining key issues for ITS deployment in particular, Intelligent Integrated Safety Systems.

•  

ROAD SAFETY IN INDIA• Ownership of cars in India - 6 per thousand of population as

against 500 in developed economies.• Number of fatalities per 10,000 vehicles - 14.39 in India,

compared to 1.0 to 2.50 in many high income countries• Causes Of Road Accidents • ➢ Driver’s fault -83.5%• ➢ Pedestrian fault/fault of passengers -4.7%• ➢ Mechanical defect in vehicles -3%• ➢ Bad roads -1.1%• ➢ Bad weather -0.9%• ➢ Other factors-6.8%• eg cattle, fallen trees, road blockages, non-functioning of signals

and• absence of rear reflectors/road signs

COMMERCIAL VEHICLE OPERATIONS • What is commercial vehicle operations?• Approximately four million commercial freight

vehicles (largely trucks) ply Indian roads, and over 68% of freight moves by road in the country.

• All businesses rely on efficient, cost- effective and safe means of transport for freight movement.

• Worldwide there are a range of existing applications available aimed at improving Commercial Vehicle Operations including fleet and freight management, vehicle tracking and Electronic Toll Collection.

• Electronic Toll Collection• How is it practiced in India?

eSafety IN INDIA• What is eSafety? Why is it required in India?

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS• What is Emergency Management System?

• Emergency Management has four phases:-

• ➢ Sense the type of emergency and the location• ➢ Reach the victim with appropriate personnel

and equipment, as required• ➢ Care for the victim as appropriate• ➢ Feedback to enable audit and healthy evolution

of the system and its services.

TRAFFIC AND TRAVELLER INFORMATION• Variable/Changeable Message Signs -Travelers

around the metropolitan cities are being assisted with Variable/Changeable Message Signs (VMS, CMS) and dynamic route guidance systems for travel conditions and directions.

• G.I.S information system -The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) is one of the few public transport agencies using satellite navigation technology for fleet tracking and monitoring, and they want to upgrade their systems to provide real-time information to their passengers.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT• Improving the accessibility and attractiveness of

public transport is a key factor to help reduce congestion in towns and cities.

• Public transport management has the important task of coordinating the various forms of public transport to allow multi-modal travel.

• Safety in Public Transport• Over the two decades 1975-95 the number of

road accident fatalities increased in India by 282% and injuries by 220%. Data for 1995 shows that buses and Heavy Goods Vehicles were involved in 35% of accidents (TERI Report).

CONCLUSION• Road safety has become a pressing issue in India.• The number of deaths has reached upto 80,0000• The rapid increase in eSafety is in growing

demand to the day.• The making of new vehicles should be well

equipped with necessary technologies.• To change the road user culture. This includes

stronger levels of traffic regulation and enforcement.

Finally to sum up……….• ➢ Raising awareness on ITS and road safety• ➢ protecting vulnerable road users• ➢ Traffic Management• ➢ Emergency Response Management• ➢ Commercial Vehicle Operations• ➢ Traffic and Traveler information• ➢ Public Transport Management

Demerit of ITS• Additional cost of installation.

• Preliminary difficulties in under standing Its system.

• Lack of availability of detailed map of all region.

• Discrepancy Between local name and indicated name.

• Insufficient traffic data analysis to predict Traffic condition.

• The control system software could be hacked by the hacker.
