Background > What is ITS? What is ITS? Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) involve the use of advanced computer, electronic and communications technologies to increase the safety and effectiveness of the entire surface transportation system. ITS emphasizes adding value to and enhancing the ability to travel on existing infrastructure (highways, streets, bridges, trains) - its not a mode of transportation itself. Some examples of ITS technologies include advanced traffic signals, roadway and weather monitoring stations, bus and maintenance vehicle location systems, electronic roadside information signs and automated vehicle control systems. Adding these technologies to our transportation system will save lives, time and money. |
