Many sources provide good information on Intelligent Transportation Systems concepts and applications. However, some of these sources are highly technical and others are lengthy treatments of the subject. The summaries presented here are designed for the busy, non-technical reader who: wants to find out what a particular ITS application is intended for - ramp metering, for example; is looking for ways to address a particular problem - e.g., how to improve pedestrian safety; wants to find examples of ITS implementation; and/or simply wants an update on what changes are taking place in transportation technology.
