Abstract
Managing the increasing traffic is a big problem all over the world. 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. ITS is being used in the developed countries since past two decades, but it is still a new concept when developing countries like India, Brazil, China, South Africa etc. are concerned. In the present study we have studied four major parts of the ITS i.e., Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS), Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS), Advanced Public Transportation System (APTS), and Emergency Management System (EMS). Objective of the paper is to study various ITS architecture and model and review such models to get in-depth of their architecture. Hence architecture and developed models over the years of four major branches of ITS have been reviewed here to make a comparison analysis of different models that have been developed by the researchers in their studies. It will lead to the gaps in the knowledge which can be further studied. The paper highlights the conclusions extracted from the studies of different systems and also gives the future scope in the field of ITS to make it more user friendly and accessible.
Highlights
In the present paper different Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) architecture and model developed by various researchers all over the world has been studied and reviewed to get in-depth of their architecture
Both the systems only give the position of the bus when it is near to the bus stops so if any incident happens between the bus stops it won’t be able to detect the problem; this restricts their use as an effective PTMS
Most of the ITS systems have been developed on the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) or World Wide Web (WWW) platforms
Summary
In the present paper different ITS architecture and model developed by various researchers all over the world has been studied and reviewed to get in-depth of their architecture. In the study the ITS has been sub-divided in four main branches based of their implementation in different aspects of transportation management i.e. ATIS, APTMS, ATMS and EMC. Last two decades have seen a lot of development in the field of transportation infrastructure even various traffic problems are increasing day by day. This is mainly due to the increase in number of vehicles. The focus of the countries all over the world is shifting from infrastructure development to the best use of the infrastructure facilities available (singh et al, 2014). For the optimum use of the available transportation infrastructure, ITS is being developed and used all over the world
