10 Questions
Explain the concept of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and its application in the transport sector.
ITS is the application of computer technology to the transport sector. ITS systems gather data about the transport system, process it, and then use the processed data to improve the management of the transport system, and/or to provide the transport user with more and better information on which to base their transport decisions.
What are the policy objectives that Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) can help achieve?
ITS can help transport planners to achieve policy objectives such as tackling congestion, pollution, poor accessibility, social exclusion, reducing journey times, improving reliability, and improving the efficiency of transport systems.
What is the indirect effect of vehicle ownership mentioned in the text?
The indirect effect of vehicle ownership is acute traffic congestion.
What is the impact of the variety of vehicles in India on the traffic situation?
The variety of vehicles in India complicates the traffic situation.
How has India been affected by the increase in vehicle ownership in the past decade?
India has seen an astronomical increase in vehicle ownership and associated roadblocks and traffic snarls in its metropolitan cities.
What is the primary purpose of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)?
ITS systems gather data about the transport system, process it, and then use the processed data to improve the management of the transport system, and/or to provide the transport user with more and better information on which to base their transport decisions.
How can ITS help transport planners achieve policy objectives?
ITS can help to tackle congestion, pollution, poor accessibility and even social exclusion. It can also help to reduce journey times and improve reliability – either in actuality, or simply by changing people’s perceptions. And it can improve the efficiency with which transport systems function.
What are the challenges that India has faced due to the increase in vehicle ownership?
India has seen an astronomical increase in vehicle ownership and associated road blocks and traffic snarls in its metropolitan cities.
What is the impact of the variety of vehicles in India on the traffic situation?
The variety of vehicles in India complicates the traffic situation.
Explain the role of computer technology in Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS).
ITS is the application of computer technology to the transport sector. ITS systems gather data about the transport system, process it, and then use the processed data to improve the management of the transport system, and/or to provide the transport user with more and better information on which to base their transport decisions.
