Understanding Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) for Safer and Efficient Travel

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) harness advanced technologies to enhance transportation efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness. By integrating information processing, communications, and control technologies, ITS aims to improve traveler information, manage traffic effectively, and streamline freight movement. This includes real-time traffic updates, winter weather advisories, and enhanced road maintenance efforts. With innovative applications such as automated bus location systems and traffic signal control, ITS revolutionizes how we navigate our roads, ultimately saving lives, time, and money.

  1. Intelligent Transportation Systems 101 June 21, 2005

  2. What Is ITS?

  3. What Is an ITS? • Intelligent Transportation Systems Apply Technology to Transportation in the Form of: • Advanced Information Processing • Communications • Sensing Technologies • Control Technologies • To Save • Lives • Time • Money

  4. Traveler Information Web Sites New ODOT Site goes live tomorrow

  5. Expanding WSDOT ATIS for Bi-State Does Note Exist

  6. Freeway Management System Includes Most of the Regional Freeway System

  7. Winter Weather and Construction Information • Statewide RWIS network • Statewide compilation and dissemination of construction activities and closures Result: • Safer Winter Driving • Safer Work Zones • Better Trip Planning for Travelers • Improved Maintenance Operations

  8. Changeable Message Signs • Provide En-Route Traveler Information • Warns Drivers of Congestion and Weather Conditions

  9. Traffic Signal Control Systems • Allows Coordinated Timing of Traffic Signals • Allows for Remote Maintenance • Can Provide Traffic Condition Information

  10. Uses Automated Bus Location Information To Inform Riders of Bus Arrival 75% of Users Find Information Useful Real-Time Schedule Information

  11. Ports and Freight Movement • Container Tracking • Port Security • Access to-from Port • Rail & Truck • Alameda Corridor • Shippers pay “toll” • Innovative Financing

  12. What ITS Does Adds these technologies to the transportation system to save lives, time, and money by: • Providing information on how well the network is operating and where problems are occurring for both network managers and users. • Helping to manage the overall use of the available network capacity, both in terms of the infrastructure and modes available. • Providing control functions that manage the movement of traffic in the network, and the operation of specific modes of travel.

  13. ITS and Supply Chain

  14. ITS & Supply Chain • These technologies all support “speed and value add” • These technologies are transportation version of “Supply Chain Management” • Find out what the Port and City are doing in these arenas

  15. Contact Information • Adrian Pearmine, PE, IBI Group • apearmine@ibigroup.com • (503) 222-2045 • (503) 784-3750 (cellular)
