Abstract
Traditionally, road infrastructure has been designed to maximize mobility and economic efficiency at the cost of safety, particularly, for non-motorized road users, who are the most vulnerable. Changes are now required to optimize the movement of people and freight with road safety in mind. Global road traffic injuries kill more than 1.2 million people every year and has huge impact on health and development of societies. Without significant intervening changes road transportation system the dreadful figures of accidents, globally, are likely to increase dramatically. Developed countries have developed and/or adapted techniques depending on their geographic, cultural, socio-economic and environmental background. Most of the traffic crashes are well predictable and also preventable. Evidences suggest that interventions are effective at making roads safer. Developed countries have already implemented interventions and correspondingly achieved reduction in fatalities. Death rates in high-income countries are among the lowest in world. Intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) are the best solution to above mentioned problems. ITS has been proved and established route to solve or at least minimize traffic related problems. This paper highlights a review of development of ITS across the world. ITS is still a new concept in developing countries.
Keywords- ITS, Electronic Toll Collection (ETC), Connected Vehicle (CV), Connected Automated Vehicle (CAV), Driverless Cars.
