Intelligent Transportation Systems

The technologies and applications of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are discussed in this all-inclusive book. Intelligent transportation systems have revolutionized surface transportation networks through the incorporation of advanced communications and computing technologies into the transportation infrastructure. ITS technologies have upgraded the safety and mobility of the transportation network through advanced applications such as electronic toll collection in-vehicle navigation systems collision avoidance systems advanced traffic management systems and advanced traveller information systems. This book discusses various ITS technologies and applications. Authors from several countries have contributed on these different applications and management practices with the expectation that the exchange of scientific results and ideas delivered in this book will lead to enhanced understanding of this technology and its applications.
