Intelligent Transportation System: Past, Present, and Future

Abstract

AbstractThis chapter provides an overview of intelligent transportation systems and their history. Furthermore, the chapter discusses the present intelligent transportation system and its fundamental challenges in the Indian transportation system and remedies to the problems. Aside from the future of intelligent transportation systems, networked environments for intelligent mobility, intelligent transportation system applications, and early findings on intelligent transportation systems, the transportation industry is constantly changing, and it's critical for vehicles to keep improving as well. This is a critical transportation requirement not only for the here and now but also for our roads, vehicles, and users in the future. Current trends and applications of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) on automobiles and highways are discussed. Three of the most critical aspects of ITS are the intelligent vehicle initiative (IVI), commercial vehicle operations (CVO), and advanced rural transportation systems (ARTS). There are applications for commercial vehicles in the CVO category that make it easier for freight to move, carriers to manage their operations, and vehicles to be inspected. Advanced rural transportation systems aim to improve rural transportation, safety, efficiency, and communication. Accidents, slow traffic, and pollution are all on the rise for those in the transportation industry, and it's only getting worse. The intelligent transportation system can alleviate these challenges with the help of other infrastructures such as bridges and highways. ITS is currently progressing in the right direction for a full-scale implementation.KeywordsIntelligent transport system (ITS)Commercial vehicle operations (CVO)Intelligent vehicle initiative (IVI)Advanced rural transportation systems (ARTS)Information and communications technologies (ICT)
