Intelligent transportation system

This vehicular network diagram sample was drawn on the base of picture illustrating the post "Intelligent transportation system" from the blog "Technology New Here".
"Intelligent transportation systems are projects that aim to integrate modern communication and information technology into existing transportation management systems in order to optimize vehicle life, fuel efficiency, safety, and traffic in urbanized cities.
The need for intelligent transportation systems stems from the fact that traffic congestion has been increasing all around the world because of increasing population, increasing amount of transportation vehicles and increasing urbanization."

The vehicular network diagram example "Intelligent transportation system" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Vehicular Networking solution from the Computer and Networks area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

This Venn diagram sample shows the system engineering at the intersection of enginnering, management, and application domain expertise. It was designed on the base of the Venn diagram on the webpage "Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) ePrimer, Module 2: Systems Engineering" from the website of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology (OST-R), the U.S. Department of Transportation (US DOT).
"The term interdisciplinary is a fundamental concept in systems engineering. To successfully develop a system requires the application of basic engineering discipline, management discipline, and expertise in the application domain of the system. In the case of ITS, that application domain is transportation engineering. The intersection of these disciplines is the realm of systems engineering."

This vehicular network diagram example was drawn on the base of picture illustrating the article "Automatic Vehicle Location: Rural Transit" from the website of the Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA), U.S. Department of Transportation (US DOT).
"Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) systems calculate the real-time location of any vehicle equipped with a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) receiver. Data are then transmitted to the transit center with use of radio or cellular communications and can be used immediately for daily operations as well as archived for further analysis.
As a stand-alone technology, an AVL system can be used to monitor on-time performance. When combined with other technologies, AVL can deliver many benefits in the areas of fleet management, service planning, safety and security, traveler information, fare payment, vehicle component monitoring, and data collection. Since the greatest benefits from AVL are achieved by combining it with other Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technologies, AVL is most appropriate for large rural agencies with more than 30 vehicles that plan to implement a comprehensive ITS."
