'Intelligent Transportation Systems' (ITS) in India include components such as:
Choose the correct answer
Only traffic police manual operations
Variable message signs, ATMS signal coordination, FASTag ETC, GPS vehicle tracking, CCTV incidents — ICT applied to transport
Only railway systems
Only speed limit sign boards
Correct Answer
B. Variable message signs, ATMS signal coordination, FASTag ETC, GPS vehicle tracking, CCTV incidents — ICT applied to transport
Why is this the answer?
ITS: application of information and communication technology to transportation. Components in India: (1) Variable Message Signs (VMS) — real-time information; (2) ATMS (Area Traffic Management System) — signal coordination; (3) Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) — FASTag (RFID); (4) AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) for bus GPS tracking; (5) Incident detection (CCTV + algorithms); (6) Weigh-in-motion (WIM). India: FASTag national rollout 2021 — 100% lanes ETC. Benefits: reduced congestion, improved safety, fuel savings.
