Research and Markets Adds Report: Green Environment and Intelligent Transportation Systems: Assessment Technologies and Markets

Aug 06, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Green Environment and Intelligent Transportation Systems: Assessment Technologies and Markets" report to its offerings.

In a release, Research and Markets noted that report highlights include: This report extends Practel's research on the Intelligent Transportation System. It analyzes a variety of issues associated with the development of the transportation industry, including: - Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and Information and Communications Technologies (ICT)-shows their inter-relation and the ITS role in the reduction of transport pollutions.

- Details ITS structure and applications with emphasis on a road towards the green society.

- Details applications of ICT in transport-progress in the developing of radar and communications to reduce the probability of accidents.

- Provides a projection of the current ITS progress into integration with Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN).

- Provides the market estimate of ITS segments.

ITS make it possible to imagine a future in which cars will be able to foresee and avoid collisions, navigate the quickest route to their destination, making use of up-to-the minute traffic reports, identify the nearest available parking slot and minimize cars carbon emissions. The main motivation for ITS is the improvement of road safety; as a byproduct to this, ITS plays a significant role in the mitigation of the GHG affect on our environment-there are estimates that in the mature development ITS may reduce the amount of pollutions from transport by 35 percent-50 percent.

Standards work in ITS have been ongoing for more than 30 years, including such organizations as ITU, ETSI, IEEE, and ISO.

ITS development, at the present time, mostly concentrated on a car itself; an exception is "intelligent" tolling. Symbiosis of car operation functions with enhancement supported by radar and telecommunications technologies seems to be a very effective way to construct a car as a part of ITS. The goal is to reduce probability of driver's mistakes, which are the main cause of accidents. This goal can be achieved by putting a burden to analyze the road situation and to make decisions based on such an analysis on a computer. Such a computer operation is supported by radars for sensing the road situation and by telecommunications devices to communicate with other vehicles, an intelligent road and law enforcement/emergency personnel.

The overriding objective throughout the work has been to provide valid and relevant information. This has led to a continual review and update of the information content.
