IntroductionIntroduction
What is ITS? ITS stands for What is ITS? ITS stands for “Intelligent Transport Systems”, “Intelligent Transport Systems”, representing a set of measures representing a set of measures undertaken to improve information, undertaken to improve information, safety and seamless flow of safety and seamless flow of transport and traffic. ITS deals with transport and traffic. ITS deals with the term “Telematics”, a the term “Telematics”, a combination of the technologies combination of the technologies involving Telecommunications and involving Telecommunications and InformaticsInformatics

Adaptive signal control has recently Adaptive signal control has recently emerged as a viable system control emerged as a viable system control strategy within the United States, Europe strategy within the United States, Europe and Australia. Long used in Europe and and Australia. Long used in Europe and Australia, adaptive control consists of the Australia, adaptive control consists of the real-time adjustment of coordinated signal real-time adjustment of coordinated signal timing parameters as well as independent timing parameters as well as independent intersection control to adapt to changing intersection control to adapt to changing traffic conditions.traffic conditions.

Simplifying the process, the UTMC system Simplifying the process, the UTMC system measures continuously traffic demand using measures continuously traffic demand using special detectors. Then, it calculates optimal special detectors. Then, it calculates optimal signaling using several techniques, according to signaling using several techniques, according to the technology and software. the technology and software. For example, the traffic models that use fluids For example, the traffic models that use fluids flowing laws are represented by a set of flowing laws are represented by a set of mathematical equations; some of these can be mathematical equations; some of these can be solved analytically, some with numerical solved analytically, some with numerical procedures. In practice, a link between two procedures. In practice, a link between two junctions is divided in several “cells” with a junctions is divided in several “cells” with a length equivalent to a normal vehicle. Traffic length equivalent to a normal vehicle. Traffic conditions are estimated using time splits of 0.5 conditions are estimated using time splits of 0.5 to 10 seconds. Information is then distributed to to 10 seconds. Information is then distributed to traffic controllers, that actuate traffic lights.traffic controllers, that actuate traffic lights.

When the priority strategy is separate and When the priority strategy is separate and interrupts the background strategy, then there is interrupts the background strategy, then there is scope for a variety of architectures. It is scope for a variety of architectures. It is possible, but not necessarily desirable for some possible, but not necessarily desirable for some or all of the priority functions to be logically or all of the priority functions to be logically separated from the background control function. separated from the background control function. Four groups of architectures are possible:Four groups of architectures are possible:
