Preface to Intelligent Transportation Systems

It has been greater than 10 years since we sat down to write down the primary version, Intelligent Transportation Systems: New Ideas and Architectures with nice pleasure, again in 1999.

Since then quite a lot of vital and inspiring enhancements have been included into transportation techniques, worldwide, whereas quite a lot of areas are persevering with to witness fast deterioration. One indisputable fact stands clear.

The promise of clever transportation techniques (ITS) is bigger than ever earlier than, and it’s but to be fulfilled. The congestion, uncertainty, and the shortage of a transparent route for the way forward for transportation proceed to persist.

Key impediments embody the absence of a vital mass of ITS engineer-scientists with the proper background and coaching in addition to the shortage of satisfactory analysis and growth thrusts, worldwide.

This ebook is meant to function a reminder, inside the US, of not solely the event of academic packages targeted on ITS directed towards the long run transportation workforce but additionally the skilled capability constructing initiatives underlying the present transportation workforce.

Each of those could also be traced to a formidable problem that we now have already begun to come across within the twenty-first century in just about each discipline—the necessity for a totally new mindset that’s intimately linked to interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, or cross-disciplinary analysis and training.

Our actions, engagements, and experiences over the previous 10 years in ITS and associated fields have offered us with a number of startling revelations, distinctive insights, and meta-level ideas, which we now have included on this revised version.

We had already targeted on clever choice making and effectivity because the hallmark traits of ITS.

On this version, we emphasize the fractal nature of each intelligence and creativity, which serves as an excellent inspiration towards analyzing probably the most advanced ITS issues at unimaginable depths and subtlety and guarantees to yield superb options to almost inconceivable issues.

Correctly cultivated, this fractal attribute affords a viable and sensible path towards steady quantum developments, advert infinitum.

We additionally observe that the effectivity attribute of ITS is analogous to the ever-present “inexperienced” colour of life on earth in that each ITS and life intention to make the most of the least quantity of power and obtain the best diploma of order, the antithesis of which is entropy or dysfunction.

Our analysis additionally reveals that effectivity is equally fractal in nature. We owe immense gratitude to Dr. Frank Kreith, the sequence editor and a Nationwide Convention of State Legislatures Fellow.

It was probably the most nice shock when he kindly known as late April 2009 and recommended that we take into account revising the ebook, given that there’s considerably better curiosity in ITS at this time than again in 1999.

There’s an apparent rationalization for the rising curiosity, particularly, the billions of {dollars} allotted by U.S. Congress to restore roads, bridges, and infrastructure underneath the American Restoration and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

There’s, nevertheless, a deeper unseen purpose. The US has a wealthy historical past of creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurial commercialization of concepts.

Of even better significance, nevertheless, is that this nation has a historical past of breaking out of economically distressed occasions with unimaginable explosions of effectivity and innovation.

Between 1930 and 1950, radar, nuclear power, interstate highways, transistors, and computer systems had reshaped the financial panorama of the US in addition to that of your complete world.

In 2010, the self-discipline of ITS with its limitless scope stands able to serve on this nice custom. On this version, we now have included two new chapters.

Chapter 1 critically opinions necessary developments and implementations of ITS, worldwide, and presents key challenges persevering with to confront ITS.

Chapter 2 is organized into three elements. The primary half presents the meta-level ideas and insights, whereas the second half explains how the perception and meta-principles could also be utilized to real-world ITS issues.

The third half poses quite a lot of formidable challenges for ITS, which, if and when solved using the meta-level and ITS ideas, will indicate a quantum leap in expertise and limitless societal advantages.

It’s our hope that transportation personnel in municipalities, counties, and states throughout the US in addition to in India, China, and different nations of the world will evaluate the concepts offered on this ebook and critically take into account adopting them of their present and deliberate roads, highways, bridges, and infrastructure tasks.

Among the many promised advantages, the standard and operational lives of those tasks could also be prolonged far into the distant future. The basic traits and ideas of ITS techniques in Chapter 3 have been additional elaborated on this revised version.

As an trade, ITS holds large potential for private-public partnerships. Nevertheless, it’s but to be studied totally as an trade.

ITS is huge and its many dimensions embody technical, operational, coverage, privateness, requirements, enterprise, financing, political, and the way it may be linked with different industries to foster progress and wealth creation.

This ebook focuses totally on the technical and operational points and, secondarily, on the coverage problems with ITS. We’re deeply indebted and grateful to Dr. Tim Lomax of the Texas Transportation Institute at Texas A&M College and Prof.

Chelsea White of Georgia Tech for his or her insightful, constructive, and candid opinions of the ebook.

We’re additionally deeply grateful to Mr. Raj Ghaman, former supervisor of analysis within the ITS Joint Program Workplace on the U.S. Division of Transportation, Washington, D.C. Lastly, our sincerest appreciation to Joe Clements and your complete editorial and manufacturing workers at CRC Press for his or her continued and enthusiastic assist.

Book Description:

The cost of expanding the infrastructure is too high for many transportation systems. Therefore, the focus must shift to improving the quality of transportation within the existing infrastructure. The second edition of a bestseller, Intelligent Transport Systems: Smart and Green Infrastructure Design critically examines the successes and failures of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) during the course of the past decade. The new subtitle reflects this edition’s focus on meta-principles critical to moving ahead and successfully building ITS infrastructures that take advantage of smart/green technologies. The book identifies challenging problems that must be addressed in order to bring real quality-of-life improvements and positively impact our environmental and civil infrastructure systems. New in the second edition: Coverage of new, efficient green strategies Critical review of important developments and implementation of ITS Discussion of how to apply new insights and meta-principles to real-world ITS problems The authors argue strongly for the need to incorporate innovative and creative approaches to transportation problems, based on the fundamental principles and thorough scientific validation. They stress the need for computer modeling and simulation of a representative system to help design and validate such complex, large-scale systems, and the design of new performance metrics to estimate the performance of these systems. They provide a radically different approach to transportation systems design that closely resembles reality and promises to yield an architecture that delivers the highest efficiency.
