PUBP 724 - Intelligent Transportation Systems and Technology

Credits: 3 (NR)
Overview of intelligent transportation systems (ITS), which include wide range of information technology applications to surface transportation. ITS categories include traffic management, traveler information, fleet control, commercial vehicle regulation, transit, rural, and vehicle-control systems. Key institutional and policy issues involve the appropriate federal role in ITS; state and local government collaboration; public-private partnerships; how privacy interests can be protected as ITS surveillance and enforcement technologies become increasingly sophisticated; and how driver information systems, including cell phones, can be used to optimal advantage without burdening drivers with information overload.
