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

Intelligent transport systems vary in technologies applied, from basic management systems such as car navigation; traffic signal control systems; container management systems; variable message signs; automatic number plate recognition or speed cameras to monitor applications, such as security CCTV systems, and automatic incident detection or stopped vehicle detection systems; to more advanced applications that integrate live data and feedback from a number of other sources, such as parking guidance and information systems; weather information and others. Additionally, predictive techniques are being developed to allow advanced modelling and comparison with historical baseline data. The basic technologies are described: Cooperative ITS (V2V, V2I, I2V, I2I, V2X, I2X); Floating car data (triangulation method, GPS based methods); Sensing (Inductive loop detection, Video vehicle detection, Radar Detection, Information fusion from multiple traffic sensing modalities) etc.

The objective of this topic study is to offer a wide knowledge of ITS and C-ITS services that are nowadays available to transport managers. A range of services is briefly presented as well as their capabilities in assisting safe driving and avoidance of fatalities: (Travel and Traffic management, Public Transportation Management, Electronic Payment, Commercial Vehicle Operations, Emergency Management, Advanced Vehicle safety systems, Information Management etc.).

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).

A framework ITS architecture will use a set of user-led service specifications for different ITS applications that provide a flexible basis for further refinement and development. A framework approach is particularly suited to circumstances where a ‘top-down’ universal approach is not feasible. A framework ITS architecture provides the basis for stand-alone ITS master plans to be developed at the appropriate level (national, regional or local). It can also facilitate cross-border integration and an open market for interoperable ITS services and equipment.

The topic gives opportunity for students to learn about the utilization of the standards and the process for ensuring interoperability of ITS applications. User services are multimodal in nature and have significantly altered the manner in which transportation agencies will conduct their operations in the future. Because multimodal user services are to be implemented within an integrated ITS, a multitude of new devices and their interfaces must be developed and linked together. Standards will make possible the implementation of packages of user services forming advanced traffic management systems, advanced traveler information systems, advanced public transportation systems, commercial vehicle operations, advance rural transportation systems, and advanced vehicle control systems. A protocol is defined as a set of rules or conventions formulated to control the exchange of data between two entities desiring a connection. Basic elements of a protocol are described. The main standards developed by International Standard Organization (ISO) addressing ITS needs are discussed.

The material of this study module tries to cover the business aspect of ITS by offering the theoretical background of business models and implement this concept to the transport systems. The main scope of European ITS Platform is to promote the use of digitalization to improve European roads concerning safety, mobility and environmental impact, by deploying harmonized ITS services for the European traveler and hauler. The Member States have developed a set of Deployment Guidelines created jointly by ITS experts and practitioners. The guidelines are adopted as basis for all future European harmonized ITS deployment activities. The best practice of ITS development at national, regional and municipal levels is discussed as case studies.

The objective of this topic study is to provide all relevant information in order to inform students about the ITS policies and strategies within the European policy framework is presented and analysis on its adaptation on local strategies and implementation criteria. Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) can significantly contribute to a cleaner, safer and more efficient transport system. A new legal framework (Directive 2010/40/EU) was adopted to accelerate the deployment of these innovative transport technologies across Europe. This Directive is an important instrument for the coordinated implementation of ITS in Europe. It aims to establish interoperable and seamless ITS services while leaving Member States the freedom to decide which systems to invest in. EC has adopt specifications (functional, technical, organizational or services provisions) to address the compatibility, interoperability and continuity of ITS solutions across the EU and has adopt of ITS Action Plan suggested a number of targeted measures and included the proposal for this Directive.
