CHAPTER 5
5.1 NECESSITY FOR USING ITS
Enables the rapid arrival of emergency vehicles during accidents to transfer the victims to trauma care centers within the golden hour through incident management systems. Provides system to avoid collision, accidents, and improves night vision and road alertness. Reduction in road crashes. The mean speed can be increased by efficiently monitoring the vehicle speeds. Improves the existing transportation services through interconnected embedded technologies.

Provides novel applications by smart technology. Systematically employs advanced technologies in the field of transportation to enhance benefits for road users.

6.1 ITS IN INDIA
In India 70 State Transport Undertakings which together own and operate 1,13,000 Buses and, provide mobility to 65 million passengers a day, across the length and Breadth of the country. APTS technologies along with Fleet Management Systems

can make use, to achieve sustainable and environmental friendly transportation for the 21stCentury. In addition to the above technologies, institutional and market factors also play an important role in successful ITS deployment for enhanced safety, mitigation of environmental impacts of transportation systems, enhanced

energy performance, and improved productivity.

ITS has been proved to be the optimal solution to the enigma of building and operating transportation systems to meet expeditiously growing urban travel demand in developed countries.

6.2 EXPECTATIONS:

The most important task of imparting training for new

ITS India will be the dissemination of ITS knowledge and professionals. ITS India would be able to bring the ITS

In 1980s, number of developed countries started using advanced systems to control and regulate the traffic, accident accident prevention, parking , toll collections, signalization and other vital tasks. This is still to develop in India to suit our local ambience. Also the problems faced by us are different than those in developed countries. The very first equipment to be used in Indian environment was electronic toll collection along the newly created expressways viz., Delhi-Noida, AhmedabadMehasana, Mumbai-pune, expressways which is functioning satisfactorily.

METHEDOLOGIES:
What we need for the present day in India is to save the lives of innocent people from onslaught of accidents, which is termed as murder on wheels. This is because every year more than rupees 7000 crores are being spent as compensation from authorities. Using ITS, it is possible to save the lives of the victims by transferring them to trauma care centers within the golden hour. Almost, more than 1% of GDP is just paid as compensation. In developed countries, a portion of this type of amount is spent in advance to improve road, traffic and other related conditions to prevent accidents beforehand, which are termed as import cost. In India, accidents are allowed to take place and compensation is paid later which amounts to a greater magnitude, which is termed as export cost. In this direction, num ber of technically advanced systems are available in the developed countries, whereas this is always a question mark in developing countries particularly in India. What is needed in the present context is the mindset of policy and decision makers to use for Indian highways and problematic locations of urban areas. What ultimately is expected is co-operation from end user and the adaptation to the new system.

CHAPTER 7
CONCLUSION:

The potential of ITS technologies in improving the efficiency of transportation sector in India appears to be very promising based on the experience of other countries. It is understood that a national strategic ITS plan for India is needed for the effective development and deployment of ITS initiatives in India. A broad framework of such a plan is presented here to generate a discussion on the topic among transportation professionals and policy makers in India. The importance of professional cooperation in the area of ITS between the public and private sectors and the academia is also identified and a preliminary organizational setup towards this end is presented in the form of ITS India. In India many infrastructural projects are under construction and some are still in planning stage. Some of the ITS technologies like AWS, ETC, fleet management, incident management can be applied to achieve an efficient transport system. Public transport that is almost monopolized in Indian cities can utilize ITS based technologies for their effective operation. Since ITS technology is as old 20 years in the world, India will have to pick up this for its updating and on par with developed countries in modern transportation requirements.
