ABSTRACT
Modern Transportation Systems are identified as the means to achieve sustainable and environmental friendly transportation for the 21st Century. Advanced information and communication technologies are required for MTS. These include Data Storage & Processing Equipment, Wire line & Wireless Communication Systems, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Sensors, and Smart Cards etc. In addition to the above technologies, institutional and market factors play an important role in successful MTS deployment. MTS application functionality includes collection and processing of real-time data, generating and utilizing information for various purposes such as controlling and managing traffic, handling fleet operations (public transport and private carriers), emergency management and assisting users in their travel related decisions. The benefit of MTS includes Reduction of traffic congestion, Enhanced safety, Mitigation of environmental impacts of transportation systems, enhanced energy performance, and improved productivity. MTS architecture defines user services, physical subsystems, information flows between subsystems, and communication requirements for deploying MTS applications. As many new technologies arise, MTS technologies are undergoing an evolutionary process.
