Intellectualization of production and processes is one of the applications of information technology and it is always of interest to develop and apply new methods. The creation and use of an intelligent transport system is considered one of the most important tasks in the field of automation. The article review is devoted to the development and operation of an intelligent control system for the safe movement of vehicles and other moving objects. The basic principles of ensuring road safety are given, the works, standards for the creation and development of transport systems are investigated, the architecture of an intelligent transport system is determined. A simplified top-level logical architecture of an intelligent transport system is presented, which includes task groups, as well as links between them and with external objects. And the physical model includes the functions of the logical architecture, classes, subsystems of processes and placement of places for the implementation of these functions. Classes include: passengers, centers, vehicles, equipment, and telecommunications facilities. The subsystems of the intelligent transport system and the tasks they cover are listed. An intelligent transport system as an integrator of modes of transport can improve the efficiency and safety of transport systems. Keywords: Intelligent transport system, security, architecture, standardization, simplified, information, new method.
