Intelligent Transportation Systems Standards Fact Sheet

This one-stop resource provides a state-of-the-art review of intelligent transport systems, services, and supporting technologies, and updates you on the latest ITS standards governing communications, technical support, information technology, and identification technology. You find details on standards covering everything from traveler information and traffic management, to weather monitoring and emergency response.

TRB Special Report 280 â€" Development and Deployment of Standards for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS): Review of the Federal Program presents recommendations for future management of the Federal Highway Administration’s ITS Standards Program.

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are the way forward for sustainable growth of mobility at all levels (local, regional, national, transnational). The book reviews the current status of Research & Development. It includes connected (and autonomous) cars and buses, real-world large-scale field trials, data analysis and assessment of technological solutions. Standards and normative aspects in the domain of Electronic Fee Collection and Cooperative Systems oriented to probe data collection, safety and non-safety critical applications in vehicular networks, are studied. The book provides the rational, perspectives, and technical issues for the implementation of ITS solutions in a genuine inter-modal scenario, taking the example of a Mediterranean seaport, actively involved in testing and validation of ITS standards. The novelty of this book is that it covers R&D, standards, and pilots, all under one cover. Rather than stressing the novelty in ICT, the authors have presented the need for system-level integration, assessment of existing (standard) solutions, and piloting experiments in real-world industrial scenarios.

To list, summarize, and categorize intelligent transportation standards (ITS). Reviews best practices and provides listings for standards developing organizations at national and international levels. Provides guidance as to where to look in the furute to find relevant standards for ITS. Presents strategies for integrating standards in IRS planning, deployment, and operation.

The booklet provides a brief description of the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) initiative, its vision, mission, goals and strategic objectives.

Rapid vehicular growth aligned with ever growing population, rural to urban migration and economic increase has put enormous amount of pressure on transportation infrastructure, specifically on traffic management practices, as the major concern in the developed and developing countries. Traditional methods were used for monitoring the traffic i.e. deploying traffic lights, traffic signs, traffic policemen and round-about. But these methods are getting obsolete day by day. In the era of technology, interest in the intelligent transportation system comes from problems triggered by traffic congestion and a synergy of new information technology for simulation real time and communications networks. Traffic congestion has been increasing worldwide as a result of increased motorization, urbanization, population growth and changes in population density. Transportation goals and technology have always been closely associated. The Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technology of today is subsidizing to improved transportation just as the steam and internal combustion engine technologies of the industrial revolution added to enriched transportation then.This book 'Intelligent Transport Systems Standards' integrates state-of-art research and reviews on the development, planning, management, operation and evaluation of intelligent transportation systems. This book basically discusses the impact and the various application fields or Intelligent Transport System for road transportation. Also, this book includes the implementation or various transportation technologies that will be vital for homeland security, vehicular surveillance along with technologies that can make our ride more safe and economical. It attempts to understand the application of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) as a solution to the current traffic management practices. It examines in detail a wide-range of ITS technologies and the benefits they are both having and expected to have, such as improved mobility, travel time, throughput, cost savings, improved safety as well as air quality and economic development benefits.This book will guide students, researchers, and practitioners in the areas of transportation, electrical, mechanical, and traffic engineering, as well as specialists dealing with policy formulation and economics.
