3. What are Intelligent Transportation Systems ?
Information technologies applied to transportation systems
To manage it in a safe and efficient manner
To monitor traffic conditions (accident, incidents, construction work, major events)
Control traffic flow
To provide information to the motoring public about traffic conditions

4. ITS Benefits Improved safety to drivers Improved traffic efficiency
Reduced traffic congestion
Improved environmental quality and energy efficiency
Improved economic productivity

5. Types of ITS implemented
Advanced Traffic Management Systems
Advanced Traveler Information Systems
Advanced Vehicle Control Systems
Electronic Toll Collection Systems
Advanced Public Transportation Systems
Commercial Vehicles Operations

6. Objective of the Presentation
Development of Advanced Traveler Information Systems for Hyderabad under GIS environment
Shortest path from origin to destination
Path to closest facility (Tourist Places, Hospitals, Govt. & Private Offices,Stadiums, Bus & Railway Stations)
Information regarding arrival and departure timings with services names of buses (Metro Liners, Metro Express and Ordinary), trains and flights

7. What are Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS)?
ATIS are type of ITS implementation, using emerging sensor, computer, communication, and information technologies in order to provide
Provides safety advisory and warning messages to the driver
Provides the information about the traffic regulation, guidance, and hazardous situations

8. ATIS Benefits Reduction of travel time Reduction of stress level
Reduction of traffic congestion
Avoidance of unsafe driving conditions
