Global Capabilities
Intelligent Transportation Systems market is a truly global market with ITS makers increasingly
targeting the whole world’s market with their exceptional products and services and systems
integration capabilities. Capability of first and second tier sellers to manufacture and supply
reliable products globally is a key driver of the market. Few ITS products are targeted at exclusive
regional markets and operated under specific regional regulatory or social limits. Nevertheless,
several ITS products are designed for global installation or application in passenger cars, trains,
ferries, buses, and commercial vehicles.
Restraints
Despite the trend catching up of late, the existing low level of awareness regarding the positive
outcomes of ITS deployment discount the bountiful prospects of the technology. Overabundance of
technologies causes technological fragmentation, while privacy issues and high end user prices
upstage strong public opposition. Liability issues and poor funding and/or reluctance of
governments in furthering research in the development of advanced technologies further impede
the market evolution and expansion.
Enabling Technologies
Intelligent transportation systems encompass a diverse range of technologies including
microelectronics, communications and computer informatics. The following is a description of a
few technologies that form a component part of ITS.
Electronic Tags
Electronic tags are automatic vehicle identifiers that are in-built in vehicle’s windshields. Laser,
infrared and radio frequency are the commonly deployed methods of electronic tag identification,
of which, radio frequency emerged as the technology of choice for vehicle identification in
electronic toll collection systems.
RDS-TMC
Radio Data System Traffic Message Channel (RDS-TMC) is a system that gathers, aggregates, and
disseminates traffic data as per a uniform worldwide standard. Data is gathered from the traffic
information center and is disseminated through RDS-TMC traffic service provider. The RDS-TMC
receiver employs sophisticated digital technology to decode the unprocessed traffic data and
converts it into traffic information. Later, the information could be sent across either visually
through a navigation center deployed in the vehicle, or through an audio wave.
Introduction
Intelligent Transportation Systems are integrated networks of communication technologies,
independent modules of sophisticated pc/satellite-based navigation systems, and other electronic
data sensing, collection and transmission systems that collectively enhance transportation
experience in terms of highly regulated and congestion-free traffic flow, guided, hassle-free,
safer and collision-free on-road travel, faster emergency response times, automated &
unobtrusive vehicle recognition & tracking, toll collection and fleet management. With the help
of advanced traffic monitoring systems, data is transmitted to the appropriate authorities for
readying rescue teams on time, and the motoring public to keep track of possible delays or
dangers on the road via VMS (variable message signs), HAR (highway advisory radio), or
broadcast radio traffic reports.
ITS, entailing the application of information, communication, sensor and control systems to
improve surface transportation systems’ performance, can be classified into areas that address
different transportation requirements such as travel security, reliability, higher mobility and
lowered traffic jams. The technology comprises of traffic signal controls, electronic fare payment,
and constantly updated traveler data in conjunction with multimodal scheduling data. Superior
navigation, communications, operations monitoring, and data-collecting technologies are applied to
improve the mobility, security and efficiency of transportation. Traveler management systems help
in easing congestion on roads and in significantly reducing the response times in case of
emergencies. ITS for public transportation services aid in streamlining transit, enable transit firms
in identifying the precise location of vehicles, and ensuring safety of commuters. Electronic
payment systems deploy information technology for making payments hassle-free and automatic.
Commercial vehicle services facilitate efficient and cost effective truck transport. Advanced
vehicle safety systems prevent accidents. Additionally, ITS systems gather transportation data,
which can be archived and used for analyzing traffic and travel patterns.
ITS was initially restricted to highway-based systems including traffic monitoring devices.
However, presently, it has assumed a wider definition and includes back office, transaction, and
regulatory systems. Many advanced technology systems, including electronic toll collection
systems and synchronized traffic signals, can be utilized in rail, highway, and other transportation
modes to enhance mobility, decrease accidents, and upgrade transportation in general.
Examples of standard ITS transport applications include Intermodal transportation systems, in-
vehicle technologies, intelligent traffic control systems, safety enhancement technologies, and
traveler advisory systems.
ITS Integration
ITS integration is a close inter-connection among system components, there by, optimizing
resource usage. A national architecture is a prerequisite for efficient functioning of the ITS
systems. In order to attain this objective, the Departments of Transportation of various countries
devise standardized national architectures that in turn place the ceil on efficiency and
interoperability of various ITS systems.
Segment Overview
Detection Systems
Detection systems are sophisticated image-processors that gather traffic and incident data either
from analog or digitally encoded video format that is further processed to analyze and monitor on
road traffic by collating the images from various parts of the network. They also ensure advance-
warning systems based on analysis of the traffic data and enable prevention of collisions and
expedite emergency rescue in the event of collisions.
Firstly, the detector receives signal/video stream indicating the data related to on coming vehicles
from the CCTV cameras deployed in the pathways. The image data corresponding to the traffic
speed and number of vehicles on roads, bridges, & tunnels, is then collated with automated
detection algorithms/vehicle tracking video data to obtain information on traffic clearance, road
occupancy. Video images further enable advanced video surveillance and collision avoidance at
intersections and on highways. For incidence control and emergency response, the detection
systems dispatch audio-visual alarms and incidence image clippings, both live and recorded, to
traffic monitoring stations for further action within few seconds of the occurrence.
Loop-Emulation/In-ground Detectors – The Precursor
Video detectors based on loop-emulation are generally embedded in the ground and have limited
view field. They can detect only vehicles appearing within that field and are usually deployed for
presence detection and intersection control using simple binary detection algorithms based on
analog/digitally streamed image data from CCTVs. They entail huge traffic disruption while
installing and re-configuring to the changes in the system and road architecture. Of late, advanced
SCOOT
SCOOT, the acronym for ‘Split Cycle Offset Optimization Technique’, is a real-time full-service
centralized traffic management system incorporating computerized routines to gather and analyze
SCATS
SCATS - the Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System is an unmanned, fully computerized
and vertical queue based advanced traffic management system attempting to minimize traffic
congestions and travel delays by efficiently regulating the traffic flow through signal
time/Phase optimization. The SCATS was developed by New South Wales Department of Main
Roads.
Though developed in Australia, the system’s growing popularity world over rendered it as a global
system, ready-to-use anywhere in the world, further commended by exports to over 50 countries.
Tyco Integrated Systems is the leading distributor of SCATS worldwide. SCATS is successfully
implemented in various cities of Australia, Mexico, USA, China, Indonesia, New Zealand, Ireland,
Malaysia, The Philippines and Singapore.
SCATS deploys embedded inductive loop detectors and obtains traffic data in real time. Based on
the information received, the data is concurred with the most probable travel time schedules and
the queue lengths to arrive at the precise time and number of the vehicles approaching a junction
and further computes the optimal signal timing and accordingly matches the real-time signal
changeover to minimize delays and congestions. The adaptive control enabled SCATS to emerge
as one of the world’s most efficient urban traffic management and control system linking multiple
traffic signal controllers.
Components of ETC
Automatic Vehicle Identification – Identifies the owner of a vehicle by means of a transponder
fitted in the vehicle and automatically deducts the toll fee from the account of the motorist. AVI
features electronically encoded tags that are deployed in the windshield of a vehicle with unique
identification (ID) number. Roadside antennas are mounted on overhead structures or as part of the
electronic toll collection station along the road. These antennas produce radio frequency signals
(RF) across the freeway lanes. As and when a vehicle nears a tag reader site, the roadside antenna
produces a signal that is reflected back by the tag located on the windshield. The signal emitted is
altered to some extent by the vehicle’s tag for allotting a unique tag ID number to the vehicle. The
ID number is then forwarded to a roadside reader site where it obtains a time, date, and location
stamp. A centralized system uses the code for determining the account for charging the toll fee.
Automatic Vehicle Classification – This system categorizes vehicles as per types and class for
accurate deduction of toll fee.
Violation Enforcement Systems – These undertake the tasks of identification of toll violators
and penalizing them. Systems utilized for detecting toll violators include video tape recording
systems and license plate recognition system.
In-vehicle intelligent transportation systems are systems deployed within vehicles that integrate the
automobile’s on-board electronics with public safety warning systems, positioning and traffic
information systems, and electronic toll collection systems, with an aim to enhance on-road safety
and travel experience. Escalating safety concerns and evolving multiplicity of traffic problems are
fueling the sophistication of in-vehicle IT systems. Some important functions of in-vehicle
intelligent transportation systems are as follows:
• Assisting drivers with navigation devices for route guidance
• Providing safety and security to drivers
• Providing communications, computing, entertainment to drivers and passengers
• Enhancing commercial vehicle productivity by means of automated tracking, dispatching and
weigh-in-motion systems
Over the years, the importance of in-vehicle intelligent transportation systems witnessed steady
growth. From a modest beginning with a few firms exploring new applications for their
technologies, the industry has grown in size with participants from sectors such as automotive,
communications, computer, and software companies. With automotive OEM vendors being the key
propelling forces in advancing the technologies, and alliances emerging as key risk and cost
sharing strategies, the in-vehicle ITS market is set to soar, leveraging on the growing awareness of
benefits offered.
Traveler Data, Advisory Systems, and Wireless Vehicle Products & Services
These are the systems used as support equipment for in-vehicle systems for travel data assistance,
route guidance and wireless communication services. They include information feeds from public
and private sources, display devices at passenger terminals and on buses, two-way data connections
between communications services and users, traveler information kiosks, one- and two-way data
connections connecting communications services with vehicles, the internet, kiosks, dial-in users,
and wireless PDA users, wireless access to the internet for travelers, and software &
communication protocols.
In-Vehicle Products
In-vehicle products mainly comprise of transponders, infrared and other visual sensors,
identification tags, software protocols, map databases, and mobile/portable multimedia products
and other communications devices that enhance the automobile’s communication with intelligent
transportation networks and systems.
Qualcomm
The first in-vehicle ITS sector to exhibit market potential was fleet management systems for the
trucking industry. The payback time period was less than twelve months for ITS fleet management
products for larger long-haul freight companies. Qualcomm was the first to enter this market with
its OmniTrac in-vehicle communications system.
OmniTrac was designed based on satellite communications that offered two-way mobile terminals
with messaging services. After successful market penetration, the company enhanced the product
features by adding location capabilities and also maintained ongoing service centers to monitor and
maintain communications between trucking companies and their fleets. During early 1990s the
company joined the Globalstar satellite consortium for enabling further up-gradation to its satellite
based communications system.
Qualcomm formed alliances with software companies for further development of its OmniTrac
system. Revenues from OmniTrac were utilized for development of CDMA technologies, which
forms its principal business. The company took several routes such as joint ventures, purchases,
and licensing agreements to enter the Asian, European and South American markets. Qualcomm’s
joint venture partners were responsible for establishing the business and maintaining local
operations. On the other hand, the company fabricated the equipment and maintained control of the
monitoring facilities in San Diego and Las Vegas. Qualcomm improved its navigational
capabilities with the acquisition of NavTek in 1998. Through partnership with Microsoft, the
company employed Windows CE software and applications for its dashboard mounted computers.
The company’s CDMA technology was well received in the market, and it partnered with Ford
Motors for a foray into personal vehicle market by forming Wingcast, which provides CDMA-
based services for the automobile market.
Etak
Etak, established in 1983, was the first to develop digital mapping for ITS navigation systems. The
company was first acquired by New Corporation and later by Sony, and then, by Tele Atlas of
Outlook
The telematics market is expected to do well in the future, as these devices would be fitted in new
commercial and passenger vehicles. Partnerships or alliances are expected to give a boost to the
development and commercialization of ITS in-vehicle information technology and products. These
alliances offer vital support to in-vehicle ITS product development by means of sharing the
expertise, resources, and risks, as well as, enabling the minimization of time. As no single company
possesses expertise in numerous technologies, the business is dependent on specialized knowledge
of various technologies.
When the industry goes through the maturity phase, the characteristic of alliance is expected to
change from being focused on technology and R&D to market structure, and eventually, impart
virtual monopoly to big OEMs and other industry giants. Major automotive OEMs are taking
initiatives in the field of in-vehicle ITS development through in-house research centers. Yet,
alliances are common in new ventures/technology due to the need to form elastic building blocks
for sharing specialized knowledge pertaining to new technologies.
Incident Management
The service assists in identifying incidents and initiating the necessary action for minimizing the
impact of the incident. When integrated with other services such as tracking and credentials
management, harmful materials incidents would be managed in an efficient manner and thereby
mitigate risks to truck operators and commuters.
Traffic Management
Traffic management systems’ end-uses can be categorized under the following services:
Traffic Control
Traffic control services direct the movement of traffic on the transportation network. These
services optimize and organize freeway and signalized street operations with public transportation
operations for matching demand with capacity.
Incident Management
Incident management offers remedial measures for traffic incidents, hostile road conditions, and
road construction programs. Incident management consists of incident management planning,
Applications of vehicle safety systems are classified under the following categories:
Safety Readiness
Safety readiness comprises issuing warnings irrespective of the condition of the driver, vehicle, and
roadway infrastructure. In-vehicle equipment examines a driver’s condition and issues a warning.
Apart from checking standard oil pressure and engine temperature, the service internally examines
vital components of a vehicle. Additionally, in-vehicle equipment communicates in real-time with
roadside sensors for identifying road conditions such as bridge icing and still water on roads.
Further, this technology can also be useful to rail systems in detecting spaces between rail tracks.
Fleet Management
Public transport and commercial operators have fleets to manage and maintain. During a vehicle’s
journey various applications support the fleet operators and vehicle drivers. A few applications also
enable to observe the physical state and administrative status of a cargo. The following are a few
instances of freight and fleet operations:
• Checking the safety related operations of a vehicle and archiving the data on-board for roadside
interrogations.
• Scheduling of vehicles and drivers for the purpose of public transport and commercial operators,
and also for automatic compilation of travel reports.
• Optimal routing for all vehicles including for huge vehicles
• In case of perishable goods monitoring their location for knowing the physical status
• Automating commercial and regulatory documentation that are required for commercial vehicles
and goods
• Monitoring the location of an automobile during its journey for having two-way contact with the
driver
Interoperation of ITS
The efforts to develop Intelligent Transportation Systems that can operate not only in the US but
also in Europe appear to be close to realization. ITS comprise systems that address transportation
problems employing data processing, communications, and control. These include systems that
gather and disseminate information on traffic conditions, carry out tracking and dispatching, and
also help in navigation.
The move by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) of US to develop standards for the
new 5.9GHz is expected to result in inter-operation of ITS products’. Till recently the US focused
on the 915MHz bandwidth and interoperation posed a problem. Once the US moves over to
5.9GHz then there would be several functions where companies could utilize comparable
frequency bands. The US – EU ITS coordination using the 5.9GHz band would enable aligning the
US with markets in Japan, EU and other regions and represents a step towards global ITS standard.
Though steps are being taken to endorse standardization of 5.9GHz yet it would take some time for
standardization as the Dept. of Transportation is constrained by guidelines which say that ITS
standard be based on the 915 band.
Differences Between US & EU
The move by the US to go in for 5.9GHz may not help in patching up the differences with the EU.
Standards developers in the US feel that Europe’s move towards ITS standardization is limited to
one aspect of ITS i.e., electronic toll collection. In other words, European standards efforts do not
match with the needs of the US in developing a national interoperable ITS system.
Thus differences have arisen as the US feels that Europe is promoting its standards in foreign
markets that are detrimental to the US approach. Incidentally, ITS standards of Europe are getting
approval in countries such as Malaysia, Australia, and Brazil, which translates into more market
share for EU companies. Besides, manufacturers are rolling out devices as per standards set by
Europe. The US, Japanese, Canadians and others feel that Europe is not taking into account their
plans in ITS standardization. They also believe that Europe may present its new ITS standards to
the ISO – International Organization for Standardization for approval. Authorities concerned in the
US say that EU is hindering the development of international ITS standard by not making it
compatible with US technology. However, the EU disputes the argument put forth by the US and
others and says that it is just taking efforts to upgrade its current ITS standards that are acceptable
and publishable as European standards. The new standards developed would be downward
compatible to the earlier EU specifications for ITS.
Privacy Issues
A matter of concern for the developers of ITS solutions is the privacy factor. Vehicular owners are
skeptical about the video footage and data collected on the highways would be used for purposes
other than intended for. For instance, the information thus collected would be employed by the
government agencies for issuing traffic citations or by advertising agencies for advancing products
to the target audience. These issues if left unanswered by the powers that be viz., public and private
market participants then it is feared that the ITS acceptance would be that much slower.

Citilog Equips New York’s Throgs Neck Bridge With Traffic Management System
Citilog installed video-based Traffic Incident Detection, an Advanced Traffic Management System
on New York’s Throgs Neck Bridge. The system monitors the flowing traffic on 6 lanes of the
bridge, and assists in alerting Traffic enforcement center incase of any mishap resulting in traffic
congestion. The 3-mile long bridge runs between the Bronx and Queens witnesses traffic to the
tune of about 105,000 vehicles every day. The move significantly reduces the response time for
concerned authorities to attend to incident victims, saving many lives and ensuring a smooth flow
of traffic.
TransCore Secures Contract for Traffic Monitoring System from Californian City
TransCore Inc. secured a contract from the Santa Rosa, California to install a real-time traffic
monitoring system. The move would witness implementation of famous adaptive traffic control
technology, SCATS, along the 2.5-mile length of College Avenue upgrading nine intersections.
The adaptive traffic management system is expected to reduce traffic bottlenecks in the city, which
witnesses uneven traffic flow rate depending on the flow of tourists.

IVI technologies comprise adaptive cruise control, vision enhancement, vehicle stability
monitoring and drowsiness warnings, collision avoidance for lane changes, road departures, and
intersection crossings. The system cautions drivers of dangerous conditions, advises actions and
also takes control of a vehicle for averting collisions.
The technology is expected to address 75% of crashes caused by driver error and avoid around
50% of all lane change and merge accidents, 49% of rear-end crashes and over 1.0 million
hazardous road departure crashes each year. As many as three million are traumatized due to traffic
injuries and around forty thousand people lose their lives due to road accidents in the US and due
to which the cost to the exchequer is to the tune of US$150 billion every year. To limit such
tragedies and support the Intelligent Vehicle Initiative systems, the federal government enhanced
the allocation over the years, in the recent past.
The Dept. of Transportation entered into agreements with companies such as GM, Freightliner
Trucks, Volvo Trucks, Mack Trucks and Dept. of Transportation of Minnesota for designing
technologies that deal with big truck rollovers, rear-end collisions and roadway departure collisions.
ITS Integration
ITS integration is close inter-connection among system components, there by, optimizing resource
usage. In order to attain this objective, the US Dept. of Transportation (DOT) designed the
National ITS architecture for serving as a reference for guiding the installation of integrated ITS
systems and services. Later, the DOT came out with policies that require regions installing ITS and
utilizing the funds of Highway Trust Fund to develop a regional ITS architecture using National
ITS architecture as a resource for guiding their regional ITS installation.
A local transit authority in Washington launched the SmartTrip program. The program enables
consumers in buying a fare card pass and use it for both parking and the Metro fares. The card can be
passed across the readers on the Metro turnstiles and parking lot Kiosks for paying the fares and fees.
Privacy Issue
An issue that is being raised about electronically linking commercial vehicle technologies and
information is the privacy issue. Much information pertaining to carriers would be available on the
systems and efforts are being intensified to render proper protection to these systems. The
Washington Legislature bill introduced in the year 1999 states:
“That any information procured by governmental departments that is gathered by the use of a
motor carrier intelligent transportation system or any comparable information equipment attached
to a truck, tractor, or trailer is confidential and not subject to public disclosure under this chapter.
However the information may be given to other governmental agencies or the owners of the truck,
tractor, or trailer from which the information is obtained”.
The law in force protects the privacy of the driver when he furnishes required information to the
authorities concerned.
Traveler Information
A key element of ITS is the traveler information. Specialized phone lines, kiosks, radio broadcasts
and web sites provide latest information relating to traffic congestion, road conditions, and transit
schedules. Travelers can access the information and take decisions in terms of which path to take
and avoid getting stuck on the road. A Seattle traffic management web site provides information to
commuters about highway and public transit conditions. It also provides information as to how
long the wait is for the next ferry. In San Francisco and Atlanta, the Traffic Check television
service displays real-time traffic information on maps coupled with commentary on traffic
incidents and their site.
OnStar uses GPS and wireless systems to connect the car and the driver to a call center where
advisors (available 24 hrs a day) offer real-time help. Every month OnStar advisors:
• Act in response to around 400 stolen vehicle location requests
• Respond to over 650 air bag deployments
• Act in response to over 5,900 emergency requests such as medical emergency, dangerous
conditions on the road or any other emergency help
• Reply to over 0.2 million routing calls such as providing directions to local restaurants to points
of interest requests say from families journeying around the country
• Respond to around 15,000 roadside assistance requests and
• Carry out door unlocking operations
Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users
(SAFETEA-LU)
The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users
(SAFETEA-LU), of 2005 aims to increase highway spending in the US. The act aims to spend
nearly US$244 billion on highways, highway safety and transit through the period 2005-2009.
SAFETEA-LU enables states to get a higher percentage of highway and fuel tax revenue for
improvement of highways. The act also enables states to acquire finances through various new
avenues such as private bonds, and tolling among others. The act also expands the criteria for
obtaining loans through Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA), and
State Infrastructure Banks. Additionally the act lowered the minimum project costs for qualifying
for TIFIA to ITS projects to US$15 million, and the minimum project costs to US$50 million,
thereby increasing the scope of the funding.
Transportation Equity Act (TEA-21)
The 1998 Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) gave required thrust to the ITS
effort that was launched nationally. TEA-21 offers financing for installation, research and
development of ITS programs. TEA-21 comprises two elements. The first element is intensification
of efforts towards the integration and interoperability of ITS systems in urban and rural areas. That
is to say, the systems would be so fabricated that it would be possible to talk and listen to each
other and gradually with addition of other items they become a part of the larger network. The
second element related to commercial vehicle infrastructure plan for enhancing the safety and
productivity of commercial vehicles and bringing down costs of regulatory requirements.
The US Dept. of Transportation monitors the financial help rendered to states for ITS integration
programs in order to make sure that the compliance is as per the provisions of TEA-21. The
programs offer matching funding for enabling localities in developing partnerships with the private
sector. While institutional and technical difficulties hinder integration efforts yet the benefits
resulting from integration more than compensate. TranStar project in Texas monitors the planning,
design, operations and maintenance of transportation operations and emergency management in the
urban areas. The project combines freeway management using cameras, ramp meters, variable
message signs and a regional computerized traffic signal system. From the TranStar center,
freeway traffic flow could be observed through the video links. Message signs along the road can
be altered from the center depending upon the traffic flow and in so doing offer vehicles latest
information. In case of a freeway difficulty, occupancy requirements in the HOV path can be lifted
for letting vehicles in those paths and free the traffic flow. Contingency response is also possible
from the center and swift management of road tragedies facilitates in decongestion. The integrated
services thus help in avoiding delays and also result in savings.

A. Market Analysis
ITS activity in Japan started in 1970s and represents one of the most sophisticated in the world in
terms of having a full fledged operational system for vehicles/drivers across the nation. The Road
Automobile Communications System (RACS) and the Advanced Mobile Traffic Information and
Communications System (AMTICS) programs, which began in 1980s, were at the behest of
different ministries. These two programs related to traffic management and traveler information
systems i.e., navigation and traffic information dissemination. RACS was directed towards
expressway traffic and AMTICS was meant for dealing with arterial street systems. In order to
have infrastructure, public money was used for supporting the ITS applications developed in their
R&D program.
In the 1990s RACS and AMTICS were predecessors to Vehicle Information and Communication
System (VICS), which tried addressing complete system integration, with real-time traffic
management and route guidance as the main objectives. Japan is expected to be at the forefront in
installing traffic and traveler information services in order to tackle traffic related problems. It is
expected to intensify its efforts towards expressway management comprising dynamic speed limits,
access control, automatic incident detection and variable message signs. A digital map is employed
as a basis for a number of route guidance systems marketed by private firms.
Japan – Third Largest Market
Japanese market for intelligent transportation systems is estimated at US$1.7 billion for 2008, as
compared to US$1.5 billion in 2007. The market is projected to reach US$2.1 billion by 2010,
registering a CAGR of 12.6% over the period 2000-2010.
ATMS represents the largest segment, accounting for intelligent transportation systems 46.8%
share of the total intelligent transportation systems market, estimated for 2008. ETC is projected to
record a CAGR of 17.3% over the period 2000-2010, to reach US$455.4 million by 2010.
Steps Towards Deployment of ITS
With an aim to decongest roads and compete in the world market, companies in Japan such as
Toyota Motor, Nissan Motor, and Honda are taking aggressive steps in developing intelligent
transportation systems. In 1998, Matsushita Communication Industrial and Pioneer Corp each had
a market share of about 22.0% in car navigation systems. Together with navigation systems,
companies in Japan provide information services that offer latest evaluations of traffic conditions
as well as information on the location of restaurants, gas stations, parking lots and others.
The information service for car navigation users of Toyota Motors and Nissan Motors is called as
Monet and Compass Link. Honda’s web-based Internavi map service provides the service to home
users and drivers, wherein the information can be downloaded from a computer to a flash memory
card for usage in the in-car navigation system. But these services are not able to meet the stated
objectives, as they are costly. The information required can also be obtained from a guidebook. A
few drivers are apprehensive due to the fact that these gadgets distract them while driving. The
country imposed a ban on usage of cell phones while at the wheel. Notwithstanding this, car
navigation systems’ is increasingly being used in vehicles.

developed in Australia, the system’s growing popularity world over rendered it as a global system,
ready-to-use anywhere in the world, further commended by exports to over 50 countries. Tyco
Integrated Systems is the leading distributor of SCATS worldwide. SCATS is successfully
implemented in various cities of Australia, Mexico, USA, China, Indonesia, New Zealand, Ireland,
Malaysia, The Philippines and Singapore.
SCATS deploy embedded inductive loop detectors and obtains traffic data in real time. Based on
the information received, the data is concurred with the most probable travel time schedules and
the queue lengths to arrive at the precise time and number of the vehicles approaching a junction
and further computes the optimal signal timing and accordingly matches the real-time signal
changeover to minimize delays and congestions. The adaptive control enabled SCATS to emerge
as one of the world’s most efficient urban traffic management and control system linking multiple
traffic signal controllers.
