	Intelligent Transportation System Architecture and Standards - ITS Architecture Implementation - FHWA Operations
		Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) means electronics, communications, or information processing used singly or in combination to improve the efficiency or safety of a surface transportation system.
		Systems engineering is a structured process for arriving at a final design of a system.
		The final design is selected from a number of alternatives that would accomplish the same objectives and considers the total life-cycle of the project including not only the technical merits of potential solutions but also the costs and relative value of alternatives.

	Potential Safety Benefits of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Technologies
		Therefore, it was concluded that in order to achieve the maximum safety potential of intelligent transportation initiatives, the technologies have to be expanded beyond freeways to the state, county, and local road systems.
		This system consists of the optical vehicle detectors to identify the formation and the length of the queues in the lane drop, static warning signs with wig-wag flashers, and a changeable message sign placed in advance of the end of the queue to warn drivers of the unexpected stopped condition ahead.
		In order to achieve the maximum safety potential of intelligent transportation initiatives, the technologies have to be expanded off of the freeway system because the system of state, county, and local roads in Minnesota accounts for over 99 percent of the total roadway mileage and 90 percent of the total accidents.

	Knowledge Based Expert System in Transportation Engineering
		Intelligent Transportation System(ITS) is an ongoing movement, which starts in the late 1980s, intending to maximize the utilities of transportation facilities.
		KBES is an intelligent computer program that uses the knowledge and inference procedures of human experts to solve difficult problems, and it is not robustly studied in the field of transportation.
		Since the current traffic control system dominantly uses historical traffic volume data, which is equivalent to the assumption that traffic is uniformly generated over the period, the output from the current system is not the best one in realistic.

		At the same time, motorization was causing cities to expand because motorized transportation could not support the population density that the existing mass transit systems could support.
		Infrastructure sensors tend to be devices that are installed in the road or around the road, usually as part of road construction/maintenance, while vehicle sensors tend to be those sensors that are found installed in a vehicle.
		Until recent years most ETC systems were based on using radio devices in vehicles that would use proprietary protocols to identify a vehicle as it passed under a gantry over the roadway.

	MIT Intelligent Transportation Systems
		Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) refers to transportation systems which apply emerging hard and soft information systems technologies to address and alleviate transportation congestion problems.
		For example, using advanced surveillance systems, the early stages of a traffic bottleneck situation can be detected, and traffic can then be directed to other routes to mitigate the congestion and to provide faster and more efficient routes for travelers.
		Initial efforts have focused on the conceptual design of intelligent transportation systems, and on the development of computer tools for design and evaluation of ITS services.
