Intelligent Transportation Systems

The goal of this course is to provide students with an understanding of the wide array of subsystems that constitute intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and to provide them with opportunities to design, build, and evaluate prototype subsystems. Emphasis will be placed on the identification of specific transport problems, identification and formulation of potential ITS solutions, and the development of a methodology for evaluating these solutions. Field data, including loop detector data, automatic vehicle identification data, GPS data, incident detection logs, and road network data will be available. Students will make use of these data sources, as well other field and synthetic data, as input to their ITS subsystem design projects.
