Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), based on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), have been developed and deployed for more than three decades. The core technologies in the ITS domain are positioning (both relative and absolute, and using various sensors) and telecommunication, and different options can be combined in different ways to create stand-alone in-vehicle systems and cooperative systems (using communication between vehicles and with the infrastructure) (Lu et al., 2005). ITS applications cover all transport modes (road, rail, waterborne and air), and both for people (mobility) and goods (logistics). This chapter targets road transport - part of surface transport.
