Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Installations
Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS) is a national program aimed at using state-of-the-art
computers and communications equipment to make travel more efficient,
safer and convenient for motorists, transit riders, commercial vehicle
operators and public safety providers. Through the use of technologies
such as roadside and/or overhead Variable Message Signs (VMS), Closed
Circuit TV (CCTV), Highway Advisory Radio transmitters (HAR), traffic
counter loops and Transcom's System for Managing Incidents and Traffic
(TRANSMIT) flow monitors, real-time traffic information is collected
and conveyed to the traveling public. This current, multi-modal information
then allows motorists to make smarter choices about how, when and where
to travel.
