Intelligent Transportation Systems

Course Introduction

This Oxford Management Centre's Intelligent Transport System (ITS) training course focuses on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) trends and applications, as well as ways of evaluating the features of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS).

The mobility of the people has become the prevalent element of everyday life, as the roads and parking become more crowded, the investment in the infrastructure focuses more on the use of intelligence rather than on the basic infrastructure, as the basic infrastructure built for the maximum capacity becomes unused for the most of the time, and achieve its full return on investment only in the peak hours, while outside of the peak hours its capacity is heavily underutilized.

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) use electronics, information and communications technologies to deliver transport improvements instead of extending physical infrastructure, thereby saving money, reducing costs, increasing return on investment while at the same time reducing environmental impact.

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are based on a wide variety of information about transport, users, participants, and vehicles.

The Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) systems also have the wide variety of applications, can be deployed on infrastructure to improve road network management and increase productivity; on vehicles to improve safety, reduce journey times and reduce polluting emissions, simplify ticketing and payment and deliver better information; and they can connect all of the transport sectors these sectors to improve mobility and accessibility, providing also the basis for the simulation as a way of advanced traffic and transport planning and control.

This Oxford Management Centre's Intelligent Transportation Systems training course will highlight:

• Principles and methods of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)  application
• Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) architecture
• Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) project management
