Abstract
As the industrial revolution progresses, cars, airplanes, and railways became the prominent mode of transportation. With the passage of time, all these transportation systems were automated and mechanized, but they came up with some limitations and challenges to address. This calls for a comprehensive understanding of the transportation systems from several points of views. It requires considering these systems technology-wise, their effect on the economy, and its consequences on the socio-environment. Over the years, there have been significant enhancements in transport systems. Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) is an uprising practice of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) which is further based on Inter-Vehicular Communication (IVC). ITS comprises applications that is used to advance the traffic management, reduce congestion, and lessen the road accidents. ITS plays a very crucial role in the economic development of both the industrialized countries as well as the developing nations. Proper and apposite implementation of ITS can effectively reduce the fuel consumption enabling people to travel in a secure and inexpensive mode. This chapter discusses in detail about the older transport system and the intelligent transport system.
