    • The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the basic elements of intelligent transportation systems (ITS), focusing on technological, systems and institutional aspects. This course is intended to introduce attendees to systems engineering and provide a basic understanding of how it can be applied to planning, designing, and implementing intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and Cooperative ITS (C-ITS) projects.

      The course is designed to meet the increasing demand for transport professionals with advanced skills in sustainable, integrated and intelligent transportation systems. The course will provide you with the fundamental and advanced engineering knowledge that a modern transportation engineer needs for planning and managing the complex multi-modal transport system:

      1. To understand ITS conceptually as a macro traffic management system
      2. To appreciate the multidisciplinary aspects of ITS, what is feasible and relevant in implementing ITS from multiple contexts.
      3. To discuss the enabling role of technology (vehicular technology, infrastructure, information and communication technology, data processing).
      4. To understand the operational aspects of ITS lifecycle (conceptualization, design, project management, operations and maintenance, policy and regulation).
  • Week 1 - Introduction to ITS and C-ITS

  • Week 2 - ITS technologies

  • Week 3 - ITS and C-ITS applications and user services

  • Week 4 - ITS architecture

    • ITS architecture provides a view of how an ITS implementation will look from a system design perspective. ITS architectures are primarily about data exchange and the control instructions that pass between the different ITS components and the external interfaces (operators, stakeholders and other systems). It needs to reflect the real-world constraints that operate on transport agencies and the requirements these impose on the ITS implementation. An ITS architecture may show where existing organizational structures need to be modified and changed. These viewpoints might include:

      • the logic (or functionality) of the system describing how various items of data should flow and be processed (the “logical” or “functional” viewpoint);
      • how the ITS functionality will reside in the physical components of the system (the “physical” viewpoint);
      • what communications are needed between the physical components – and between the outside world and the physical components (the “communications” viewpoint);
      • how the system components, communications and responsibilities are to be assigned to providers and recipients of the ITS services (the “organisational” viewpoint).
  • Week 5 - European Framework Architecture

  • Week 6 - ITS standards

  • Week 7 - ITS deployment

  • Week 8 - European action plan for ITS deployment
