Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) refer to advanced technologies that improve the efficiency and safety of transportation networks. These systems use various tools, such as sensors, cameras, and communication devices, to collect and analyze data about traffic conditions, vehicle movements, and public transportation. By integrating this information, ITS can help manage traffic flow, reduce congestion, and enhance overall travel experiences.
Additionally, ITS can support better decision-making for both drivers and transportation agencies. For example, real-time traffic updates can be provided to drivers through mobile apps or roadside displays, while agencies can use data analytics to optimize traffic signals and public transit schedules. This leads to safer roads and more efficient transportation systems overall.
