Traffic management systems (TMS) – page 1 Intelligent transport systems (ITS) Introduction The term Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) refers to any technology applied to transport and infrastructure to transfer information between systems, and to transport users, for improved safety, efficiency and environmental outcomes. This is a fast evolving field that includes stand-alone applications such as traffic management systems, information and warning systems installed in individual ...
Guide: Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) What is C-ITS? Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) use wireless technology to enable real-time vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to- infrastructure communication. This in turn enables far greater coordination between road users and allows the creation of safer and more efficient traffic flows. COOPERATIVE INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT SYSTEMS 2 What will C-ITS enable? C-ITS is likely to be introduced in three phases: Phase ...
