Title: INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS AND ITS TOOLS AS A SOLUTION FOR URBAN TRAFFIC CONGESTION: A REVIEW
Abstract: The dynamic development of urban areas poses increasingly more challenges for the provision of transport services for the population. The concentration of the economic potential and population in the metropolitan areas results in the occurrence of large transport needs, and when these needs are met at the same time, the phenomenon of congestion occurs. Traffic congestion has become a serious problem in many cities around the world and it is a challenge that is not easy to manage. Traffic congestion has increased dramatically also in India. Congestion and the associated slow urban mobility can have a huge adverse impact on both the quality of life and the economy.Traffic congestion has been increasing worldwide as a result of increased motorization, urbanization, population growth and changes in population density. Congestion reduces efficiency or transportation infrastructure and increases travel time, air pollution and fuel consumption.In order to over-come from such congested problem, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) has been utilized to improve transportation systems in the worldwide platform. Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) provides solution to these problems with the help of new technologies. ITS is an integrated system that implements a broad range of communication, control, vehicle sensing and electronics technologies to solve and manage the traffic problems. The purpose of this work is to analysis the implementation of ITS impacts on congestion relief and to further help in improve the system according to Indian perspective. I wish depending on this work, researchers and scholars in the field of ITS can have a clearer view to set their attitude towards suitable future research studies and methodologies which in turn will contribute to the related accumulated knowledge in the field.
