Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) means electronics, communications, or information processing used singly or in combination to improve the efficiency or safety of a surface transportation system. It is an advanced application which aims to provide innovative services relating to different modes of transport and traffic management and enable users to be better informed and make safer, more coordinated, and ‘smarter’ use of transport networks.
This course covers principles and methods of ITS, Architecture, Engineering Processes & Standards development and application, functions are to be performed by the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) deployment, what are the user services in ITS, different physical components that deliver these functions, Interfaces and communications necessary for the exchange of data and information, and stakeholders’ and their roles with the ITS deployment.
• All the people involved in urban development, traffic and transport planning and organization, traffic planners, multimodal transport integrators.
• Transport and Traffic Engineers
• IT experts.
• Consultants involved in management, analytics, optimization, project management and transport optimization.
• Project Managers.
• Project Managers.
• Strategic Development Personnel.
