What are Intelligent Transportation
Systems ?
 Information
technologies
transportation systems
applied
to

To manage it in a safe and efficient manner

To monitor traffic conditions (accident, incidents,
construction work, major events)

Control traffic flow

To provide information to the motoring public about
traffic conditions
ITS Benefits

Improved safety to drivers

Improved traffic efficiency

Reduced traffic congestion

Improved environmental quality and
energy efficiency

Improved economic productivity

Objective of the Presentation
 Development of Advanced Traveler Information Systems
for Hyderabad under GIS environment

Shortest path from origin to destination

Path to closest facility (Tourist Places, Hospitals, Govt. &
Private Offices,Stadiums, Bus & Railway Stations)

Information regarding arrival and departure timings with
services names of buses (Metro Liners, Metro Express
and Ordinary), trains and flights
What are Advanced Traveler
Information Systems (ATIS)?
 ATIS are type of ITS implementation, using
emerging sensor, computer, communication, and
information technologies in order to provide
Provides safety advisory and warning messages to
the driver
 Provides the information about the traffic regulation,
guidance, and hazardous situations

ATIS Benefits

Reduction of travel time

Reduction of stress level

Reduction of traffic congestion

Avoidance of unsafe driving conditions
Development of Package (1)

Package for GIS based ATIS
• ArcView GIS Version 3.1 (Platform)
• Network Analyst Version 1.1b (Network Analysis)
• Avenue Programming Language (Script Language
for ArcView Customization)

Applications of the package (2)
 For finding closest facility from any point on
the road network
 For
site tour (for finding optimum path for
given itinerary of tourist places)
 Searching
for city bus services,Inter city bus
services, Inter city railway and Inter city airline
services

Conclusions
 This package is user friendly point-and-click
graphical user interface
 The developed package has following
capabilities
• Finding
•
•
shortest path based on distance and
drive time
Finding closest facility and its path based on
distance and drive time
City bus routes
Conclusions (Contd.)
 The
developed
capabilities
• Search
•
•
package
has
following
Engine - which searches different
facilities in Hyderabad City
Provide intercity bus,train and airways
information (timings, distance and service name)
Site tour planning
Conclusions (Contd.)
 The
developed package can be used in the
following areas
• Bus Stands
• Railway Stations
• Airports
• Tourist information centers
• In personal computers
