Mobility is a vital good in any modern society which is based on division of labour. However, daily increasing levels of congestion bring and enhance the importance of new technological developments, e.g., Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The idea of such systems is to ensure the efficient utilisation of the available road capacity by controlling traffic operations and influencing driver’s behaviour by providing him information. An example is Dynamic Route Guidance Systems, which helps the road user to navigate through the road network easily and more efficiently. Anantnag City being one of the busiest City Centres in Jammu and Kashmir has been facing considerable traffic problems due to congestion and overburdened scenario of traffic. The aim is to find suitable alternatives to get rid of the menace. Various Cities of India have already felt the need to implement these new techniques to lead for better development in the field of transportation. Currently, the traffic problem is often based on a lack of information regarding the routes. Of course when making travel choices, road users constantly combine various sources of information and expectations of traffic conditions, but they can hardly obtain data about the global situation. Thus, they have only a partial and inaccurate knowledge about the traffic conditions in the network and it is not possible for them to coordinate their behaviour with the others, e.g., change their departure time to relax the situation. Additionally, the most useful information to a driver is predictive information. Since, Intelligent Transportation System allows the road users to estimate the travel time of their trips and hence will provide real-time information about the current and future traffic state to the road users. The channels for data transfer used are radiobroadcast, in-vehicle devices and of course the Internet. Obviously, the idea is to remove jams and use the infrastructure more efficiently.
