Abstract
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are a set of technical applications that have grown out of computer age and have been reinforced by the overwhelming momentum of developments in information technology. Conceived initially as a series of unrelated approaches to reduce congestion and improve safety, ITS, as it is evolving, will affect behavior of transportation users and system operators in ways that go far beyond what their original designers foresaw. This paper presents an overview of ITS in American transportation systems. It discusses the forces creating the need for, and applications of, ITS; it then defines ITS from both institutional and operational perspective; and finally cites examples and benefits of ITS and speculates about its used.
