2. Introduction
 Technology has been driving the developments in
the realm of transportation from the times of
industrial revolution to the present day digital
revolution
 Road traffic congestion is a recurring problem
worldwide.
 In India, a fast growing economy, the problem is
acutely felt in almost all major cities.

3.  This is primarily because infrastructure growth is
slow compared to growth in number of vehicles,
due to space and cost constraints.
 Secondly, Indian traffic being non-lane based and
chaotic, is largely different from the western traffic.
 Hence there is always a need of an Advance
Information System which can manage as well as
predict traffic effectively and efficiently as compare
to traditional methods.

4.  In order to develop such advance information system
technologies like GIS and Remote sensing play an
important role.
 In the current scenario GIS and remote sensing have
emerged as advance technological tools which can
Capture, Store, Manipulate, Analyze and
Disseminate spatially referenced data which is
essential for the development of modern
Transportation System

5. Objectives
 Meeting the demands of faster mobility by different
modes
 Building capacity and expanding network facilities to
accommodate growing traffic needs

6. Definition of Remote Sensing and GIS
 Remote sensing is a science or a technology and art of
obtaining reliable information about an object without
being physical contact with the object. Eg:- human Eye
 These sensing devices capture the data on the way
various earth surface features emit and reflect the
electro magnetic radiation(EMR) and provide
information about the resources under investigation.

7.  A geographical information system is an organized
collection of computer
hardware,software,geographic data, and personnel
designed to effectively
capture,store,update,manupulate,analyze and
display all forms of Geographically referenced
information.

8. Need for Advancement
 Coordination of traffic movements
 Optimal use of existing infrastructure
 Remove Congestion
 Check environmental condition
 Improve vehicle highway system operation and
management techniques
 Check stress related accidents
 Ease drivers frustration

9. Functional areas of Modern Transport System
 Advanced public transport system(APTS)
 Advanced traffic management system(ATMS)
 Advanced traveler information system(ATIS)
 Electronic toll collection and traffic
management(ETTM)
 Commercial vehicle operations(CVO)

10. Modern transportation in india
 First such project in the country 93 km stretch
between KOTPUTLI-AMER on NH-8
 Proposal for replication on other stretches
 Components
 Traffic management
 Electronic toll collection
 Traveler information
 Route guidance

11. Intelligent Traffic Management
 Traffic can be managed effectively and efficiently
with the help of an intelligent traffic management
system.
 ITS consists all the information regarding the road
structure and other parameters e.g. width of the
road, surface condition, road material, one way,
suitable speed limit, number of vehicles on road
etc.
 It serves as a decision support system which
analyses the input data and gives an output to
assist decision makers.


12. Vehicle Classification
 ITS can give information regarding what kind of
vehicles in what number running on a road segment.
 It can help to classify roads in various categories and
accordingly planning of appropriate road width and
pavement material can be done.

13. Predicting Traffic Congestion
 As ITS is consisting of huge database, with the help
of analysing travellers habits, routes, travel time,
cost preference et can ITS can predict traffic
congestion prior to its occurrence So that mitigate
actions can be taken before the problem occurs.
Real Time Instructions
 Real time instructions can be given to travellers
with the help of electronic screens to reduce and
mitigate traffic congestion.

14. Accident detection
 In case of traffic accident ITS is capable of pinpointing
incident location so that emergency situations can be
handled in a very fast manner. Shortest route can be
determined easily for officials to respond to any
emergency condition.
Closest Facility
 ITS can determine the closest facility from a particular
location. The closest facility may be a Hospital, School,
Gym, College, Club, Govt office etc.

15. Revenue Collection
 Revenue from road transport system can be
collected in terms of fines for traffic rule
enforcements and toll taxes etc.
Public Transport Information
 ITS can consist all the types of public
transportation (Integrated Multi-modal Transport)
real time data mentioning arrivals and departures,
Routes etc which can help a common user for
choice of travel and reduce wait delays.

16. Operating Principle

17. Advanced traffic management system(ATMS)
 The principal users are passengers, car drivers,
pedestrians, truck drivers, and management
agencies.
 Emergency call boxes
 Installed every 2 km
 Protected by safety barriers
 Location identification at control center

18. Variable Message Signs
 To provide prior information to users
 At six locations
 Mounted on sleek gantries
 Short and crisp message

19. Traffic classification System
 Provides statistical information related to traffic flow
 Uses inductive loops
 Measures speed and occupancy levels

20. Metrological information system
 Wind speed
 Air temperature
 Humidity
 Visibility
 Road temperature
 Road condition

21. Electronic Toll Collection
 The principal users are drivers, carriers and highway
agencies.
 Services
 Automatic toll
 Exchange
 No stopping of vehicles
 No cash transactions

22. Route Guidance
 Route guidance, evacuation
guidance,instructions,facility information from the
electronic stations,parks,etc can be obtained b
travelers for ease assessment of their destination.

23. Guidance for route planners

24. Traveler information

25.  Danger warning such as vision obscured due to fog,
disable car ahead watch out, slow down falling object
ahead etc, will be displayed.
 When the road intersection is closed due to rainfall
or due to some other reason, information such as
turn right at next intersection and dedour to
National Highway (XX) will be displayed.

26. Conclusion
 In India 70% state transport undertakings, which
together own and operate 1,13,000 buses and
provide mobility to 65 million passengers a day,
across the length and breadth of the country.
 It has been proved to be the optimal solution to the
enigma of buildings and operating transport systems
to meet expenditiously growing urban travel demand
in developed countries.

27.  As per the saying “preventing is better than
cure", it is better to prevent road accidents than
providing wide medical technologies to cure it.
