About Intelligent Transport System and how it works

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) combines many different types of information and communication technologies to create a network of systems that help manage traffic, protect roads and more. As more and more parts of our transport network come together, ITS will change the way drivers, businesses and governments move towards road transport. These advanced systems can help to improve transport in a number of ways.

Increased traffic safety
Dangerous speeds, dangerous weather conditions and heavy traffic can lead to fatal accidents and accidents; Intelligent transport systems all help with this. Real-time weather monitoring systems collect visibility, wind speed, rainfall, road conditions, etc., allowing carriers to have the latest driving conditions. In fully coordinated systems, this information can then be used to update warning signs and even speed limits once necessary, allowing drivers to be aware of the conditions around them. Ambulances can respond quickly to accidents through real-time tracking monitoring. Traffic management helps to divert traffic from busy or dangerous areas, prevents traffic congestion, but also reduces the risk of collisions.

Reduce the damage to the infrastructure
Heavy vehicles can load the road network, especially when they are overloaded. Weighing stations and other forms of weight control reduce the risk of overload, but at the expense of time loss and delay of movement. Weighing systems in motion measure vehicle type, size and weight when moving and transfer data collected back to the central server.

It is possible to identify overcrowded vehicles and take appropriate action to improve consistency between carriers and reduce motorway damage. These systems not only simplify enforcement but also reduce road repair costs, allowing them to be distributed elsewhere.

Movement control
Existing central traffic management systems help to reduce congestion and ensure the continued movement of vehicles through the road network. However, intelligent transport systems allow traffic lights to only respond to changing models. Adaptive semaphore systems create intelligent junctions that drive traffic according to the patterns they observe between the vehicles they use. They may also prefer specific transport modes such as ambulances or public transport. A large number of adaptive junctions create a system where lighting varies depending on the pattern of movement and not on a fixed timetable that reduces time pressure and ensures smooth movement.

Parking
Illegal parking contributes to overcrowded, dangerous urban streets and creates problems for disabled drivers, urban vehicles and other people who need access to reserved parking spaces. Overcrowded drivers slow down climbing in busy areas as visitors are unable to park. Traditional parking enforcement systems can be costly and inefficient; they can even add to the collapse. Intelligent parking intrusion detection controls have parked vehicles and communicate with parking meters to identify and register illegally parked vehicles.

Drivers know that instead of taking risks with the person in charge of parking, they will automatically be declared as illegal or extended parking. These automated systems help to improve traffic flow by increasing driver compliance and smooth parking.

Collection of traffic data
Appropriate traffic planning is not possible without detailed information on how to use roads. Existing movement sensors can learn a lot about how many vehicles use a particular road or crossroads, but intelligent transport systems can do much more. Electronic traffic counters can measure the number and type of vehicles using a particular route or visit a particular part of the city, as well as driving times, driving times and other data. This information helps authorities to allocate their resources in the most efficient way.

As the growing population of urban drivers and commuters increasingly emphasize our road network, cities will constantly need new and improved equipment.
