Transportation agencies are tasked with assuring the safety and efficiency of their roadways and networks. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) assist transportation organizations in achieving these objectives by enhancing operations, safety, and mobility while also reducing problems for both motorists and transportation officials. ITS stands for Intelligent Transportation Systems, which are advanced systems that provide an innovative suite of technologies for traffic management of all modes of transportation, including single-occupancy automobiles, transit, commercial vehicle operations, pedestrians, and bicycles. Using a systems-based approach, agencies can choose from a variety of technologies, assessing their needs and selecting solutions that work together to achieve those needs.

ITS is enhancing mobility and safety by changing the way people drive by providing them with the safety and trip time data they need to make informed decisions. They're also modifying and improving how tolling authorities, municipalities, transportation departments, and transit authorities make traffic management decisions. Using intelligent transportation system technology is one strategy to improve road safety in the country. The ADB proposes a pilot intelligent transportation system plan that would provide drivers with real-time information about road conditions. By delivering real-time information, would improve the road network's reliability and safety while also reducing travel times and costs. ITS provides variable speed alerting & restricting systems that have been found to reduce vehicle speed and, as a result, will have a major overall influence in decreasing crash injury effects. Seat-belt reminders (which are currently in the advanced prototype stage) and interlock systems (which are quite straightforward to construct technically), as well as mayday systems & intelligent restraint systems, all have considerable potential safety benefits.

A well-functioning transportation system is essential for any country's economic development. Positive economic growth can be predicted as the transportation system's efficiency increases, which can lead to a better quality of life and higher living standards. Because roads are the primary mode of transportation in Uzbekistan, having a safe and long-lasting road infrastructure is critical for economic growth. At the same time, the latest World Health Organization numbers show that, in 2016, in Uzbekistan, around 3,600 people had lost their lives on its roads, with the death toll rising year after year.

Some of the key benefits offered by ITS are mentioned below,

Increased Mobility-

Both road users & agencies are frustrated by traffic and congestion. ITS technology can help alleviate these issues by providing critical updates and information to travelers. For instance, ITS can be used as a mobility tool to track travel time data on a highway or through a work zone, allowing drivers to make informed decisions along their journey. This feature allows drivers to reach where they need to go without having to deal with traffic. Another advantage of ITS is improved signal timing.

Some of the major Smart technology benefits include,

• Reduced fuel consumption
• Reduced traffic congestion
• Improved air quality
• Potential reduction in aggressive driving behavior, including red-light running
• Postponed or eliminated need to construct additional road capacity

Increased Safety-

Transportation agencies prioritize the safety of all road users, which is one of the many benefits of incorporating ITS design and technology into transportation projects. ITS can gather the information that can be used to anticipate the possibility of a collision. If an incident or crash occurs on their route, the technology can also identify and verify the situation, increase incident response time, and give safety information to the traveling public.
