Overview

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is the application of computer, electronics, and communication technologies and management strategies in an integrated manner to provide traveler information to increase the safety and efficiency of the road transportation systems. This paper mainly describes ITS user services, ITS architecture and ITS planning. The various user services offered by ITS have been divided in eight groups have been briefly described. The ITS architecture which provides a common framework for planning, defining, and integrating intelligent transportation systems is briefly described emphasizing logical and physical architecture. Integration of ITS in transportation planning process which follows a systems engineering approach to develop a transportation plan is also briefly described in this paper.
