Intelligent Transport System is not something very new to the world of transportation but in Indian context it started making its presence as largest population demands more vehicle which leads to heavy traffic chaos. An intelligent transport system (ITS) is a perfect method that provides solution related to different modes of traffic and transport management. As per recent study report, global intelligent transport system market is expected to grow at CAGR of 8.70 % during 2017-21. Light Vehicles Production in India 2013 2020 2030 Combustion Engines in % 98 80 56 Hybrids in % 2 19 35 Electric in % 0 1 9 Recently Niti Aayog signed an agreement with “International Roads Federation” to develop a ITS Policy frame work in the country which includes traffic & parking management and also to ensure road safety of passengers. Moving ahead this way to transform country’s transportation under smart city mission, government has initiated $15 bn flagship program which will help to give relief to booming cities from traffic jam. ITS Technologies and its User Groups As per data provided by the Government of India, the automotive sector is a major contributor to the GDP. At present its share is close to 6.7% which is expected to grow to around 12% of GDP by 2026. Also it would be one of the biggest sectors in providing employment. Over the past two decades, India has established itself as a leader in information technology (IT). However, the economic boom has also resulted in continuous increase in vehicles, urban traffic overcrowding and worsen air quality in the Indian big cities. With a strong IT and telecom infrastructure, India is ready to gain advantage from the use of ITS to reduce many transport related urban issues. Ingredients of a Comprehensive “ITS” System Challenges: • India is a developing country and its condition is different from other developed countries • Lack of clear policy and framework • Cultural and geographical obstacles • Population and rapid growth in number of vehicles Main benefits: • Lesser operation cost • Better audit control by centralized user accounts • Electronic toll collection through RFID tags one of the timesaving revolutionary concepts for commuters • Efficient use of infrastructure with capacity enhancement • Processes 250 –300% more vehicles per lane, reducing delays and traffic congestion Electric Vehicle Concept: Under Electric vehicle segment, brands like Mahindra, Toyota and BMW have shown their presence in the Indian market. Indian Government has developed a National Electric Mobility Mission Plan 2020, which proposes to incentivize the adoption of green vehicles and facilitate domestic manufacturing capability in automobile sector. As part of the Foreign Trade Policy, Government is providing subsidy in the form of exemption of duties on parts of green vehicles. The Indian market for electric vehicles is still growing but the challenge is to expand charging infrastructure in big cities immediately to promote migration to electric vehicles. Conclusion: ITS could be revolutionary in Indian aspect where population and numbers of vehicles are growing at a rapid speed to tackle transport chaos, ensure safety and innovate commuting ;India should be ready with proper future plan through implementing Intelligent Transport System.

Ingredients of a Comprehensive “ITS” System
Challenges:
• India is a developing country and its condition is different from other developed countries
• Lack of clear policy and framework
• Cultural and geographical obstacles
• Population and rapid growth in number of vehicles
Main benefits:
• Lesser operation cost
• Better audit control by centralized user accounts
• Electronic toll collection through RFID tags one of the timesaving revolutionary concepts for commuters
• Efficient use of infrastructure with capacity enhancement
• Processes 250 –300% more vehicles per lane, reducing delays and traffic congestion
Electric Vehicle Concept:
Under Electric vehicle segment, brands like Mahindra, Toyota and BMW have shown their presence in the Indian market. Indian Government has developed a National Electric Mobility Mission Plan 2020, which proposes to incentivize the adoption of green vehicles and facilitate domestic manufacturing capability in automobile sector.
