Blog post: From Intelligent Transport Systems to Integrated Transport Systems

Posted on 22 March 2023 by charlesmusselwhite

A blog for the Centre for Transport and Mobility, at Aberystwyth University, from Richard Harris

The Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) industry has made incredible advances since the early pioneering days of the 1970s and 1980s. These have been driven by the revolution in communications, data capacity and computer processing capabilities.

The way we describe what we do has also developed from the road/automobile communication systems in Japan (1984) and the road transport informatics and integrated road transport environment in Europe (1988) and the intelligent vehicle – highway system (1991) in the US through transport telematics (1992) to intelligent transport systems (1994) and the connected, cooperative and mobility systems and services of today.

While I am not suggesting that we rebrand our industry and drop the term ITS, I do wonder if it’s time for a slight refresh.

Maybe ITS should stand for Integrated Transportation Services?

Transport and Health Integrated research NetworK – THINK Podcast

THINK is a collaboration between the psychology department of Aberystwyth University and Public Health Wales, and is funded by Health and Care Research Wales to improve health outcomes for all, in relation to transport. The network is made up of individuals working in academic, practitioner, policy or charity roles across different areas of transport and health. THINK facilitates research, training and seminars to develop knowledge and provide opportunities to work collaboratively across four different themes – air and noise pollution; injuries and deaths stemming from vehicle crashes; the impact of active travel (walking and cycling) on health; and the impact of vehicles dividing communities. You can sign up as a member of THINK for free on the website https://think.aber.ac.uk/sign-up/ or follow us @TransportHealth
