ITS: Key Drivers and Tools
Information technology
Communications technology
Mobile Apps
Cloud computing
Sensors
Cameras
GPS
Digital radio
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)
Softwares needed for different applications. Indian
firms among the global leaders in development of
information and communication technology
Potential of ITS in Transport
Inter and intra vehicle systems
Traffic management systems
Transport coordination and multimodal integration
Traveller and user information
Key Objectives of ITS
Improve mobility as well as safety
Enhance transport productivity
Save energy
Reduce carbon footprint
Contribute to green growth
Further enhancement needed:
Land management
Several Platforms
Buses with GPS and Apps that allow commuters to
see bus locations, wait times (13.2 million urban
commuters per day as per Census 2011)
Car service on demand, Taxi Apps (potential savings
in energy) Of course, some encroachment on mass
transit space
Online platform for freight loads aggregation
Vendors and transporters brought together directly
Intermediaries bypassed
Transaction costs reduced
Profits enhanced
Idling time of trucks reduced
Functional Systems of ITS (in different stages of progress in India)
Highway Traffic Management System (HTMS)
Electronic Toll Collection (ETC)
Advanced Traveller Information System (ATIS)
Advanced Vehicle Control System (AVCS)
Urban Traffic Management
Freight and Fleet Operations
Public Transport Management
While application in some areas is intense, in some
others, it is marginal. Deployment is isolated.
ITS in India is still in its infancy.
HTMS: System Configuration
Emergency Call Boxes
Radio Mobile Communication System
Fibre Optic Communication System
Variable Message Signs
Meteorological Data
Automatic Traffic Counter-cum-Classifier System
Video Surveillance System
Video Incident Detection System
Control Centre

Electronic Toll Collection
Electronic payment of toll for use of facility without
human intervention
Initial challenges
No unified ETC technology
Lack of understanding about different ETC
technologies
Lack of legal provisions in contracts for ETC
interoperability
India chose RFID based technology
ETC Architecture
Toll Plaza
Toll Operator
Back Office
Operations (Central
Clearing House)
BANK
Web
Road Users
Mobile / SMS
• Transaction ID
• Tag ID
• Plaza ID
• Lane ID
• Date &Time
Nationwide Interoperability
Single tag for toll collection throughout NH network
Replenishment options:
Internet banking
Mobile banking
ATM
Point of Sale (POS)
Provision for standing instructions _________

ITS for Cities Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS)
ATMS Architecture
Bangalore Traffic Improvement Project (Nicknamed B-TRAC)
Initiatives since 2010
Focus has been to install ITS
Digital surveillance
Junction and street furniture
Enforcement cameras
Traffic management centre
Vehicle actuated signals
Timing of traffic lights changed remotely
Online information from cameras
Better compliance of laws and reduced accidents
Traffic training and road safety institute being
planned
City Multi-Modal Transportation App (An Initiative of Xerox Research Center, India)
Convenient single-source for all
public and private mobility options
Personalized to user’s preference
(e.g., health, environment, cost, time)
Unified account-based payments
Trusted official mobility app of city
Dynamic re-routing options
Point-to-point trip planning:
bridging first and last mile

Optimization across all mobility activity for load balancing and reduced congestion:
Automated demand-based service provision (e.g. ride pooling)
City Dashboard provides real-time insight for capacity planning
Red Light Violation Detection
One of the major factors for road accidents at
intersections
There are different types of systems available:
Inductive Loop Sensor
Video camera and still camera with flash light
Controller equipment and communication system
Above Ground Sensors (Radar/Microwave based
sensors techniques): Laser detection system,
Camera unit and Controller unit
Detection Methods
Video Vehicle Detection
Radio-frequency Identification

ITS for Public Transport System
Fleet Management and Operations:
Automatic Passenger Counters (APC)
Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL)
Scheduling And Dispatching (S&D)
Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Signal Priority (SP)
Automatic Passenger Counter
(APC): records the number of
passengers, time and location
of each stop as passenger
boards and alights the bus
ITS for Public Transport System
Automatic Vehicle Location
Satellite geo-positioning
technology
Tracking vehicles is one of
the most common AVL
systems
Geographic Information Systems (GIS): GIS enables a
transport agency for data collection, storage, analysis
and display by location.
