Intelligent transport systems (ITS) are vital for modern cities worldwide, meeting citizens’ mobility needs and utilizing information technologies. ITS optimizes existing transport systems, achieving resource savings and operational efficiency. Compared to costly infrastructure solutions, ITS offers cost-effective means to meet transport goals while enhancing mobility and minimizing economic and environmental impacts.
Implementing ITS requires a well-defined plan, starting with a Concept or sketch-technical project, followed by a feasibility study and a working project. The plan should incorporate performance indicators (Key Performance Indicators or KPI) for the transport system, data collection methods, and necessary IT-enabled indicators. Choosing the right technology configuration ensures efficient capital investment utilization.
Our specialists can guide you through the ITS creation process for your region, city, or enterprise, including developing the ITS Concept and Working Project. ITS can be divided into analysis systems (the “brain”) and management systems (the “body, arms, and legs”). Implementing only one component undermines the system’s comprehensiveness and compromises its goals.
Cities that lack transport data and traffic analysis cannot effectively manage their transport systems, leading to reactive rather than proactive improvements. Reactive measures are costlier than preventive measures, resulting in higher transport expenses and inferior service quality for users.
Dynamic transport models serve as the upper level of ITS, incorporating data from various sources to derive quality indicators and provide one-hour forecasting. This information feeds into the ITS management system, aiming to prevent a decline in transport and operational performance.
