Intelligent Transport Systems: Technologies, Systems and Implementation

[ Book online ]

This course will:

  • provide an understanding of ITS technology building blocks including communications, databases, location-based services, sensors and human-machine interface (HMI)
  • provide an understanding of selected ITS systems including (e.g.) payment systems, monitoring and sensing, e-logistics, and cooperative systems/UTMC
  • expose delegates to the latest research into ITS technologies and systems
  • provide delegates with knowledge of ITS in practice through lectures by industry experts
  • equip delegates with the ability to design and implement ITS in future
  • provide a link to the policy and legislative context within which ITS is implemented

Course Objectives

By the end of the course, delegates will be able to:

  • understand the basic elements of ITS Technologies and Systems
  • describe a wide range of current and advanced ITS technologies and systems
  • apply knowledge from the two outcomes above to understand how new ITS technologies and systems should be developed, implemented, and utilised
  • guide and advise transport authorities and organisations about the effectiveness of existing IM systems and services
  • assess existing ITS technologies and systems, comparing their effectiveness and how they meet needs; and
  • contribute to the design of new ITS technologies and systems and to their real-world implementation.

Course Outline

  • Technologies: communications, databases, location-based services, sensors and human-machine interface (HMI)
  • Systems: payment systems, monitoring and sensing, e-logistics, and cooperative systems/UTMC
  • Case studies of current systems
  • Case studies of new research

Who is the course aimed at?

The course is designed to be of value to non-experts and experts alike as it combines introductory material with more detailed instruction that is beneficial to, for example, industry specialists who wish to update their knowledge.
