ITS Capabilities
ITS offers promising solutions to many transportation problems and challenges. These systems are diverse and versatile, combining telecommunications, computer, and sensing technologies to provide real-time information to both traffic managers and travelers on traffic, weather, navigation, and vehicle diagnostics and to achieve greater system efficiency, safety, and convenience. Since 1991, the National ITS Program has pursued research, technology development, and field testing and has promoted deployment of first-generation ITS applications.
