APPLICATIONS OF ITS IN ROAD ACCIDENTS
ITS is an emerging transportation system which is comprised of an advanced information and telecommunications network for users, roads and vehicles. ITS is the integrated application of advanced Technologies using electronics, computers, communications, and advanced sensors.
The areas where ITS finds applications are:
- Highway management
- Incident management
- Transit management
- Arterial management
- Emergency management
- Electronic payment
- Traveler information
- Crash prevention and safety
- Operations and maintenance
- Road weather management
The benefits of ITS are:
- Safety improvements
- Delay savings
- Throughput
- Customer satisfaction
- Cost savings
- Environmental, etc
Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), based on advanced telecommunication and information technology, offers a great potential for improving the road safety situation for all types of road-use.
ITS can influence all of the key macroscopic variables of the road safety problem, i.e. exposure, risk, and the severity of accident.
