ITS - Intelligent Transport System
ITS - Institute for Telecommunication Sciences
ITS consists of two words “it and is” or “it and has”. It is a possessive form of the pronoun it which means belonging to it. It is often used in reference to something that is owned by a person or a thing. It is also used in reference to a noun without a defined gender.
It is an application which aims to provide creative services related to different modes of transport and traffic management. It enables users to be better informed, safer, and secure using transport networks. ITC technologies include calling an ambulance when an accident occurs, using cameras to enforce traffic laws and using signs that report speed limit changes based on the situations. It is used to sense, analyse, and control the transportation system that helps to improve safety and efficiency.It may apply to all modes of transport including road transport and other means of transport. It has been adopted across the world mainly to increase the road safety, capacity of busy roads and to reduce the journey time.
ITS is mainly used for the following reasons:
Used for inadequate road development
Due to increased accident rates
As it is not possible to build enough roads
To make transportation system more safe and secure
To improve the activeness of the public transport
To decrease the environmental impacts of the transport
The main advantages of Intelligent Transport System includes:
Speed control and improvement
Reduction in stops and delays at intersection
Travel time improvement
Capacity management
Incident management
It is located in Boulder, Colorado. It serves as a Federal resource for investigating the telecommunication challenges of other federal agencies, state and governments. It is the research and engineering laboratory of National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). It also works with the US government and private organisations to improve the use of telecommunications technologies and networks. It provides telecommunication services and research to promote
New technology deployment and domestic competition
