Abstract
A well-functioning transport network is a key element of a successful economy. One of the biggest problems in transportation is the large number of vehicles, which leads to congestion. Traffic congestion negatively influences the social and economic environment: it creates pollution and causes many accidents. A variety of innovative technologies are being applied in all areas. Different countries use Intelligent Transport Systems to create a safer, more efficient, and sustainable transport system to monitor and manage traffic flow. The application of Intelligent Transport Systems helps solve problems in the transport sector: Intelligent Transport Systems helps manage traffic flows, reduce accident rates, environmental pollution, and inform drivers and passengers about the traffic situation. Consequently, Intelligent Transport System improves the efficiency of the transport system, the quality of services, increases mobility, reduces energy consumption, and reduces the negative impact of vehicles on the environment. As reported by the Department of Statistics data in Lithuania, the number of road vehicles in the Vilnius region increases every year. Traffic accidents remain constant, and long-lasting traffic jams occur. Due to these reasons, Vilnius and its residents incur economic costs, and the transport system is used inefficiently. This article examines the importance of Intelligent Transport System application in solving congestion, pollution and accidents in Vilnius. A cost-benefit analysis of the Automatic Incident Detection System installation in Vilnius is performed.
Highlights
The transport system consists of transport infrastructure, vehicles and transport facilities: passengers and freight (Ambrazevičius, 2008; Rodrigue & Notteboom, 2020)
Economic benefits Saved human life Time spent by a person in congestion was reduced by 0.03% 3408 offenders paid the full amount of the fine Total revenue
The analysis of the scientific literature has shown that the main benefits of Intelligent Transport systems are related to problems in transport systems
Summary
The transport system consists of transport infrastructure, vehicles and transport facilities: passengers and freight (Ambrazevičius, 2008; Rodrigue & Notteboom, 2020). The transport system provides an opportunity to use existing roads efficiently, provide cheaper services to consumers, plan the number of vehicles properly, and improve the existing legal framework in the light of ongoing changes (Ambrazevičius, 2008). The transport system must be designed and organised to meet consumer needs efficiently and comfortably freight and people (National Research Council..., 2002). A large part of the transport system is a public place that all passengers use (National Research Council..., 2002). Many vehicles have led to specific problems in the transport system, such as increased accident rate, congestion, the negative impact of transport on the environment, low public interest in public transport. An Intelligent Transport system is an effective tool for solving problems in the transport system (Sumra et al, 2013)
