Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)
ITS is the application of information and communications technologies (ICT) to management of the transport system. ITS involves ICT being placed at the roadside and connected to traffic management centres enabling information to be collected and communicated on road conditions. It helps traffic system managers and road users to make more informed decisions. Outcomes include reduced congestion, improved safety and greater environmental sustainability.
