The advancements of several real-time system applications enable us to provide better solutions to day-to-day problems. One such real-time systems that has significantly enhanced its efficiency in aiding travelers to make commutation pleasant is the intelligent transportation system (ITS). There are several aspects of an ITS application that make it efficient and resourceful, but the major significant factor is its capability to provide services within a time constraint. This chapter aims to provide the basic concepts, background, and importance of dependability on distributed real-time systems in ITS using two applications for efficient traffic management. A novel automated traffic signal (ATS) is proposed that manages traffic flow by enumerating vehicle density of road segments using image processing techniques. The other proposed work involves the estimation of congestion rate (CONGRA) for given target area using the proposed hybrid vehicular ad hoc network (VANET). The details of the modules, implementation, and result analysis of the applications are discussed and presented.

According to the United Nations, 70% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050. This growth will be reflected in the demand for better services that should be adjusted to the collective and individual needs of the population. Governments and organizations are working on defining and implementing strategies that will enable them to respond to these challenges. The main challenges are related to transport and its management, considering transportation as a core issue in the economy, sustainability, and development of the regions. In this way, the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) play a key role in the response to these scenarios, being that they are the framework where the new hardware and software tools are integrated, allowing an efficient development of transportation systems management, attending to aspects such as: traffic management, communications between vehicles and infrastructures, and security, among others. Nevertheless, the concept of ITS evolves rapidly so it is necessary to understand its evolution. To do that, the current research develops a thematic analysis of ITS in literature, evaluating the intellectual structure and its evolution using SciMAT, quantifying the main bibliometric performance indicators, and identifying the main research areas, authors, journals, and countries. To this purpose, the publications related to ITS from 1993 to 2019 available in the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection were retrieved (7649 publications) and analyzed. Finally, one of the main results is the latest research themes map of ITS, considering its intellectual structure, evolution, and relationship. It assists in the definition and implementation of strategies, the identification of the scientific, academic, and business opportunities, and future research lines to consolidate the role of ITS in the new city models.

Intelligent Transportation System is the primary means of solving the city traffic problem. The information technology, the communication, the electronic control technology and the system integration technology and so on applies effectively in the transportation system by researching rationale model, thus establishes real-time, accurate, the highly effective traffic management system plays the role in the wide range. Traffic flow guidance system is one of cores of Intelligent Transportation Systems. It is based on modern technologies, such as computer, communication network, and so on. Supplying the most superior travel way and the real-time transportation information according to the beginning and ending point of the journey. The journey can promptly understand in the transportation status of road network according to the guidance system, then choosing the best route to reach destination.

Work zone intelligent transportation systems (WZITSs) are promoted as a way to improve safety and reduce congestion at work zone locations where traditional traffic management centers do not exist. These systems usually integrate portable changeable message signs and speed sensors with a central control system that automatically determines appropriate messages that are based on current traffic conditions. Manufacturers of these systems claim that WZITSs can warn drivers of downstream congestion, alert drivers to slower speeds ahead, and suggest alternate routes on the basis of prevailing conditions. Transportation agencies are often asked to make decisions on the installation of a WZITS without the benefit of objective information on its expected performance. Relatively few operational tests of these systems have been performed, and the results are not always well documented or conclusive. Agencies need guidance to help them determine whether a WZITS system would improve safety and operations at a specific site. Applications of WZITSs are reviewed, and a series of guidelines for their deployment, based on lessons learned from past tests, is presented.

Navigation and Intelligent Transportation Systems contains 40 papers covering the technical and functional aspects of these systems including: 3D mapping, route guidance, cellular phone access, electronic compasses, and the history and future of navigation systems. The book also covers the important role of navigation in Intelligent Transportation Systems concerned with traffic management, traveler information, vehicle control systems, commercial vehicle operations, and public and rural transportation systems. The book concludes with a chapter on the Intelligent Vehicle Initiative, a joint program between the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Federal Transit Administration.
