GROUP 3 SURFACE TRANSPORT AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY  INTRODUCTION SURFACE TRANSPORTATION It refers to the movement of goods and people over land using various modes of transportation, such as road, rail, and pipelines. This mode of transportation plays a pivotal role in supply chain management, trade, and everyday life. COMPONENTS: ROAD TRANSPORTATION cars, buses, trucks, motors, etc. RAIL TRANSPORTATION commuter trains, high-speed trains, freight trains, etc.  UNDERSTANDING THE EVOLVING LANDSCAPE OF SURFACE TRANSPORTATION AND ITS The evolving landscape of surface transportation illustrates how transportation systems have progressed with technological advancements. THE INTEGRATION OF INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS(ITS) AND ITS IMPACT Improve the safety, efficiency, and performance of the transport system ITSs can help reduce congestion, improve mobility, save lives, and optimize our existing infrastructure EXAMPLE: Industry Insight: Qatar’s ITS tunnel management systems incident detection and weather sensors lane and speed control signs connected vehicles and car-sharing systems automated payment mechanisms intelligent parking management  THE EMERGENCE OF INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS (ITS) Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) as a blend of information technology and transportation GOAL: Enhance safety, efficiency, and sustainability in transport KEY COMPONENTS OF ITS Automated traffic management system (ATMS) Automated vehicle location (AVL) Driverless cars e-tolls electronic road pricing (ERP) Geographic Information System (GIS) Intelligent transport system (ITS) Smart cars Vehicle information & communication system (VICS) KEY COMPONENTS OF ITS Automated traffic management system (ATMS) Manage the flow of road traffic using a variety of technologies. Automated vehicle location (AVL) Uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) to enable a business or agency to remotely track the location of its vehicle fleet, using the Internet. Driverless cars Is a vehicle that uses a combination of sensors, cameras, radar, and artificial intelligence (AI) to travel between destinations without a human operator. E-tolls Electronic toll booths deduct toll payments without stopping Electronic road pricing (ERP) requires drivers to pay different tolls at different times Geographic Information System (GIS) is a computer system that analyzes and displays geographically referenced information. It uses data that is attached to a unique location. Intelligent transport system (ITS) Uses a range of technologies to monitor, evaluate, and manage transportation systems to improve safety and efficiency. It helped in traffic congestion mitigation, decreased crashes, and reduced pollution. Smart cars They are vehicles with advanced technology. Smart cars enable you control aspects of the vehicle from your phone. Vehicle information & communication system (VICS) is a telecommunication system that transmits information such as congestion and regulation of traffic by detecting car movements with sensor installed on the road, this information is edited and processed by Vehicle Information and Communication System Center LEARNING OBJECTIVE 1 - Objective: Explain the components of an ITS and their application to surface transport. - Key Focus: How these components interact to improve transport systems ITS IN ROAD TRANSPORT APPLICATION BENEFITS Automated tolling Reduced (e-Tolls) congestion Electronic Road enhanced safety Pricing (ERP) improved travel time ITS IN RAIL TRANSPORT APPLICATION CASE STUDY: Smart ticketing Success stories from real-time passenger Europe and Asia. information intermodal transport systems ITS IN WATER TRANSPORT APPLICATION IMPACT Global Navigation Improving safety Systems and efficiency in Maritime Safety water-based Systems transport ADVANCED VEHICLE TECHNOLOGIES Smart Cars Connectivity, automation, and safety features Driverless Cars The future of autonomous vehicles Collaborative Mobility Ride-sharing, car-sharing, and bike- sharing LEARNING OBJECTIVE 2 OBJECTIVE: Describe different IT applications in road, rail, and water transport KEY FOCUS: How technology integrates these modes of transport Environmental and Safety Benefits of ITS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT SAFETTY ENHANCEMENTS Accident prevention Reduction in emissions hazard detection and energy consumption driver assistance  The Role of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) GIS OVERVIEW APPLICATION Route planning How GIS supports ITS traffic management environmental monitoring Integrated Public Transport Systems DEFINITION EXAMPLES Smart cards (e.g., Oyster Combining multiple forms Card) of transport into a contactless ticketing seamless system LEARNING OBJECTIVE 3 OBJECTIVE: Evaluate how technology facilitates the connection of systems in intermodal transport KEY FOCUS: Efficiency, passenger convenience, and system integration  Qatar’s Intelligent Transport Systems OVERVIEW KEY FEATURES: Qatar’s Tunnel management approach to ITS incident detection smart parking  Future Trends in ITS Emerging The Road Technologies Ahead AI in traffic management, How ITS will evolve in the predictive analytics next decade  CHALLENGES IN IMPLEMENTING ITS TECHNOLOGICAL BARRIERS Integration cybersecurity PRACTICAL CHALLENGES data privacy Infrastructure costs regulatory issues Ethical and Social Implications DATA PRIVACY Handling user data responsibly SOCIAL IMPACT Addressing inequalities in access to ITS technologies Conclusion SUMMARY Landscape of surface transportation, highlighting the crucial role of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in enhancing safety, efficiency, and sustainability across various modes of transport, including road, rail, and water. Conclusion Automated Traffic Management Systems Driverless Cars, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Conclusion Smart ticketing Automated tolling Reduced emissions Energy consumption. Conclusion Cybersecurity Infrastructure costs Ethical implications of data privacy. THANK YOU!
