“Some problems are so complex that you
have to be highly intelligent and well
informed
just to be undecided about them.”
Laurence J.Peter

Definition
ITS
«ITS integrate telecommunications, electronics and information technologies with transport engineering in order to plan, design, operate, maintain and manage transport systems.
This integration aims to improve safety, security, quality and efficiency of the transport systems for passengers and freight, optimising the use of natural resources and respecting the environment.
To achieve such aims, ITS require procedures, systems and devices to allow the collection, communication, analysis and distribution of information and data among moving subjects, the transport infrastructure andinformation technology applications."
Specification about related terms: as far as ITS deal with information technologies and mobility of people, may also be defined as “Infomobility”; it may involve road transport or any other mode as well as their interactions.»
[ITS-EduNet, 2009]

logistic
problem=
Development of infrastructures is limited(cost for building and maintenance,
space saturation, period for completion)
Increase urbanisation of the world
Black-oil dependence
New roads imply higher public expense also for maintenance
Manage the increase of the amount of traffic or improving quality of service.
Reduce congestion and accidents: how, investing in innovation on existing
infrastructures?
Intense mobility request

Scenario
TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
Better resource
exploitation=
By utilising solutions coming from the
ICT field, we can inform people about
congestions, alter them, suggest
alternative directions, charging
possibilities and means, manage
limited resources better, allocating
them dynamically. Being a complex
problem, there are sometimes no right
or wrong solutions, but only tailored
good or suitable solutions.

Fields of intervention
ITS
To increase the quality of mobility by providing information,
allowing the choice of efficient routes for drivers or public
transport users:
Information to personal devices or to vehicle devices
Information through DSRC and VMS
Transmit the travel information to
the Internet, mobile, phone, radio, tv and/or another vehicle.
DSRC may send information when
vehicles are passing by a roadside
antenna. VMS (variable message
signs) provide useful information. IVC makes it more continuous.
Traveller information
Information through kiosks
Kiosks placed in stations provide
information about public transport to users.
Fields of intervention
ITS
To improve real-time traffic management, data analysis and
route planning through real-time traffic information (routes,
congestions, restriction, parking availability and incidents):
Preparation for management: traffic surveillance
Traffic control & traffic regulation enforcement
Incident management and collision avoidance
On-site data collection by road-side
unit (information acquired at a fixed
point) and mobile or probe car
(information acquired using mobile and specially equipped vehicles).
VMS (variable message sign) for
conveying real-time information
on congestion, restriction and parking availability.
A C.A:S.is a system of sensors that
is placed within a car to warn its
driver of any dangers that may lie
ahead on the road. In extreme conditions it can intervene.
Traffic information
Fields of intervention
ITS
To manage urban areas, leading to less congestion and less
environmental impact, and to the increase of safety and
certainty of travel:
Public transportation Reducing demand by charging Electronic financial transactions
Provides information on public
transport and parking spaces at stations.
Pricing using electronic transactions to reduce demand.
Improved gate throughput by
allowing easier and faster toll
payments. The system works for
collecting fees either for entry (or exit) roads as mileage-based fee collection with GPS or tachograph.
Demand management
To improve the quality of public services and to increase the
efficiency in logistics and in security.
Bus location and bus signal priority
Cargo/vehicle tracking Monitoring/operating recordings
Bus location conveys the location of
public transports to the users. Bus
signal priority is a system in which
traffic signals adapt their phase to give priority to buses.
Monitors truck location and cargo to enhance logistics operations,
increasing efficiency for each trip and the overall delivery system.
Monitors and records operation
data. Leads to better driver and
vehicle management, increase in
security and better compliance with regulations and standards.
Public transport & commercial vehicle management
Fields of intervention
ITS
Wicked problem
Transportation issues
Transportation planning is a wicked problem, therefore:
1.You don’t understand the problem until you have developed a solution;
2.Solutions are not right or wrong, rather only better or worse;
It means that Transportation problem can be resolved only by a taylorapproach based on flexibility and care for details. The previous cases can teach very few.
Gather data
Formulate solution
Implement solution
Tame problem

Analyse data
3. Every problem is essentially unique and novel, so you cannot copy another city’s or country’s solution;
4. Every solution is a ‘one-shot operation’,
so you will not be able to reuse your own solution.
The proposal
ITS offering
Think Up can provide tailored solutions
combining the right mix of strategic approach and disruptive
technologies.
Think Up does not need to sell a unique technology
(as big players need), but it can build a structured framework
that can fit to client’s needs.
Think Up can suggest the best systemic solution.
Think Up provides a “Solution Manager” to manage all resources
and to represent the “single point of contact” for Customers.
