Abstract
Advances in computer, communication and information technologies enable to store, process and transfer large data very quickly. This technology-based automation system also makes it possible to carry out processes or procedures by minimizing human involvement to avoid the risk of human errors. What is more, these processes and procedures can be performed now in real-time. Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) is an application of computing, communication and information technology to manage transportation effectively. ITS architecture involves sensor and detector technology, big database and data processing, real-time transport analysis/modelling/computing, AI, control systems, automation, navigation as well as data transfer and communication systems. ITS which is designed with a minimum errors and is able to make predictions can be used for preventive measures and safety improvement. The applications of ITS to enhance transportation safety, for instance public travel safety, increasing safety for vulnerable road users, smart intersections, traffic surveillance, incident detection, emergency notifications, etc. This presentation discusses the recent ITS implementations in enhancing transportation safety, some evidence of the effectiveness of ITS applications in various countries, ITS applications in Indonesia as well as the future challenges of ITS in following developments and trends in future mobility, especially in facing the industrial era 4.0.
