Intelligent Transportation System
An Intelligent Transportation System is a computer-based system that helps control traffic and make transportation safer. It uses cameras, sensors, and computers to collect data about traffic, road conditions and the flow of vehicles, and then uses that data to control the speed of traffic, warn drivers when crashes are likely, or to suggest alternate routes if there is congestion. This means that drivers can get to their destinations faster and safer.
