Introduction

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) represent a significant leap in urban mobility, leveraging advanced technologies to optimize the efficiency and safety of transportation networks. They offer data-driven solutions that integrate telecommunication, electronics, and information technologies with transport engineering. This integration aims to improve traffic management, reduce congestion, enhance safety, and minimize environmental impacts of transportation. Systems such as real-time traffic management tools, adaptive traffic signals, and smart parking solutions not only streamline vehicular flow but also significantly reduce the time commuters spend in transit. Additionally, ITS applications like emergency vehicle notification systems, collision avoidance systems, and comprehensive public transport management tools improve safety for all road users. ITS is pivotal in supporting the shift towards sustainable urban mobility. By promoting the use of public transport through real-time information systems and integrating with emerging technologies like electric and autonomous vehicles, ITS helps cities in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption. Thus, ITS not only enhances the immediate functionality of urban transport systems but also contributes to the broader goals of sustainable urban development.

Objective

The main objective of this book is to provide a comprehensive, up-to-date, and accessible resource that bridges the gap between theoretical concepts, practical applications, and emerging trends in ITS. This book will aim to provide relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest empirical research findings in the area. It will be written for the benefit of researchers and professionals who want to improve their understanding in the significance, applications and challenges of Intelligent Transportation Systems.

Target Audience

The book aims to cater to a diverse audience, including transportation professionals, academics, policymakers, technology developers, and enthusiasts, by offering insights into the latest advancements, challenges, and future directions in Intelligent Transportation Systems. Given the wide range of potential readers, the book will cover various aspects of ITS, including technical details, challenges, policy implications, and future trends. Moreover, the book will provide insights and support the researchers concerned with the design and implementation of intelligent transportation systems for smart urban mobility.
