Abstract:Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies can be applied quickly and effectively to improve the safety of all types of roadways, including rural and local roads. ITS is the application of information processing, communications technologies, advanced control strategies, and electronics to the field of transportation. In addressing local and rural road safety issues, ITS should be considered as an effective strategy. Today, devices are available that are ideal for rural roadways, including restrictive rights of way with limited access to local power or lack of a telecommunications infrastructure. The purpose of this Briefing Sheet is to describe ITS concepts and to present examples of low-cost ITS applications that improve safety and operations on local and rural roads.
