What are Intelligent Transportation Systems ?

Information technologies applied to transportation systems

To manage it in a safe and efficient manner

To monitor traffic conditions (accident, incidents,

construction work, major events)

Control traffic flow

To provide information to the motoring public about

traffic conditions

ITS Benefits

Improved safety to drivers

Improved traffic efficiency

Reduced traffic congestion

Improved environmental quality and energy efficiency

Improved economic productivity

Types of ITS implemented

• Advanced Traffic Management Systems

• Advanced Traveler Information Systems

• Advanced Vehicle Control Systems

• Electronic Toll Collection Systems

• Advanced Public Transportation Systems

• Commercial Vehicles Operations

Objective of the Presentation

Development of Advanced Traveler Information Systems for Hyderabad under GIS environment

Shortest path from origin to destination

Path to closest facility (Tourist Places, Hospitals, Govt. &

Private Offices,Stadiums, Bus & Railway Stations)

Information regarding arrival and departure timings with

services names of buses (Metro Liners, Metro Express

and Ordinary), trains and flights

What are Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS)?

ATIS are type of ITS implementation, using emerging sensor, computer, communication, and information technologies in order to provide

Provides safety advisory and warning messages to the driver

Provides the information about the traffic regulation, guidance, and hazardous situations

ATIS Benefits

Reduction of travel time

Reduction of stress level

Reduction of traffic congestion

Avoidance of unsafe driving conditions

Conclusions

This package is user friendly point-and-click graphical user interface

The developed package has following capabilities

• Finding shortest path based on distance and drive time

• Finding closest facility and its path based on distance and drive time

• City bus routes

Conclusions (Contd.)

The developed package has following capabilities

• Search Engine - which searches different facilities in Hyderabad City

• Provide intercity bus,train and airways information (timings, distance and service name)

• Site tour planning

Conclusions (Contd.)

The developed package can be used in the following areas

• Bus Stands

• Railway Stations

• Airports

• Tourist information centers

• In personal computers
