What is Intelligent Traffic System (ITS)?
An intelligent traffic system (ITS) is an advanced application that aims to provide innovative services relating to different modes of transport and traffic management.
It enables users to be better informed and make safer, more coordinated, and ‘smarter’ use of transport networks.
ITS is mainly composed of three characteristics: management, efficiency and safety.
To improve efficiency and safety. ITS uses a wide range of technologies to track, evaluate and manage traffic systems.
These new prospects are largely driven by the expansion of the Internet of Thing devices and 5G connectivity technologies.
The former allows low-cost detectors and controllers to be embedded into almost any physical machine that can be controlled and maintained remotely.
The latter provides the high-speed connections required for real-time, low-latency management and control of transportation networks.
ITS is not just a concept of the future, as it is formerly being used in various cities. Their achievements and failures are being used to enhance systems in new domains.
How intelligent traffic systems (ITS) impact our lives?
The implementation of the intelligent traffic system is bound to make our travel methods more convenient, fast, efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly. Few big things they offer are:
Effectively reduce human and material resources
With the nationwide coverage of vehicle information and communication systems, the use of electronic toll collection systems can effectively reduce the human and material resources of major toll stations. Scenario application: highway intersection toll booth, parking space toll, etc
Improve traffic management and reduce control costs
When the traffic road network system is integrated with information technology, smart signal lights can be adjusted in real-time according to traffic network flow information, which can effectively reduce the work pressure of traffic police and coordinators, and reduce traffic control costs.
Three-dimensional intelligent monitoring improves the efficiency of traffic police on duty. In the event of a traffic accident, through the monitoring system, traffic personnel can quickly call an ambulance to rescue the injured, tow away the damaged vehicle, and arrange repair personnel to repair the damaged road surface, etc.,
Thus reducing the impact of traffic accidents on the road and keep the road smooth.
Real-time reminder of road conditions, effectively reducing traffic accidents
The intelligent traffic sign can broadcast in real time according to the road condition information and weather conditions ahead, and remind the vehicle of the real-time condition of the road condition ahead through the LED screen so that the vehicle can adjust the route in time.
In bad weather, knowing that the road conditions in advance is convenient for the driver to take countermeasures in advance, drive slowly or detour, and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents.
Energy saving and emission reduction, protecting the living environment
In traffic travel, a lot of time is often wasted due to the difficulty of finding a parking space, resulting in traffic jams.
Through wireless sensors, intelligent video surveillance technology, big data, etc., the occupancy of parking spaces is monitored, and the intelligent traffic signs display the occupancy parking spaces, which can facilitate vehicle parking, reduce traffic delays, reduce vehicle mileage, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, energy conservation.
In addition, with the help of intelligent traffic signs, vehicles can avoid congested routes, effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions, save energy and reduce emissions, and protect the living environment.
Portable travel, reduces traffic pressure
By monitoring changes in road vehicles and traffic flow, the command center can quickly make diversion measures to divert vehicles in a timely manner and reduce congestion.
Ending Note
Facing the development trend of globalization and informatization nowadays, traditional transportation technology and means can no longer meet the requirements of economic and social development.
The intelligent transportation system is an inevitable choice for the development of the transportation industry and a revolution in the transportation industry.
ITS is a win-win situation for both citizens and city administrators where it provides safety and comfort to citizens and easy maintenance and surveillance to city administrators.
