Intelligent Transportation Systems, or ITS, is the use of technology to improve traffic flow. By using high-tech traffic communications (e.g., signal controllers and traffic cameras), traffic engineers can monitor real-time conditions, make modifications to signal operations and be alerted to problems with the traffic signal system.

When heavy conditions occur, ITS can be used to modify the operation of a traffic signal and then alert motorists of potential problems via Changeable Message Signs and internet-based information tools.

Thanks to ITS, traffic engineers can respond more quickly to safety issues or problems with traffic signals by instantly viewing a camera closest to the intersection.

ITS and coordinating corridors reduces travel time, helps reduce vehicle emissions, and improves air quality. View the travel time and emissions saved.
