WHAT IS ITS?
ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems and Services) is the integrated application of advanced sensor, computer, electronics, and communications technologies and management strategies to increase the safety and efficiency of the surface transportation system. Improving mobility and transportation productivity while conserving energy resources and reducing adverse environmental effects can all result from the application of ITS. ITS is a reality - actual systems, products and services are deployed right now. From computerized traffic signal systems to maintain coordination between traffic lights -- to increasing mobility through electronic toll collection systems such as E-ZPass -- to improving efficiency through traveler information systems such as route guidance and dynamic message signs on the roadway -- to web sites that provide graphics and video feeds of real-time traffic conditions - these are just some of the ITS applications in use, and there are many, many more.
All are encouraged to participate and join in the growth of ITS-NY!
