A new report from Transparency Market Research estimates that the global market for ITS, with demand coming from all countries worldwide, will grow with a double digit CAGR estimated around 12.4 per cent during 2012–2018. The application of ITS is not limited to just road transport, but has widespread applications across verticals such as military, rail, and air transport as well. Currently, the demand of ITS is mainly driven by the road transport sector, due to growing population and consequent sharp rise in number of vehicles plying.
Also, the rising incidents of accidents across all modes of transport, especially road and air transport, is contributing to the need of immediate implementation of ITS. The populous economies of China and India, which are also the fastest growing regions, are some of the key markets for ITS.
Currently, ITS applications are limited to developed countries, such as the UK, the US, France, Australia, and Canada. Use of intelligent transport systems in military has however been in existence for a long time and can be seen in many countries, and is seeing gradual adoption across other transport mediums too. The global market for ITS can be segmented based on parameters such as technologies used and applications.
According to the different technologies used in an ITS, the global market can be segmented into Calm (Continuous Air interface Long and Medium range) based ITS, DSRC (Dedicated Short-Range Communications) based ITS, GPS (Global Positioning System) based ITS, and others. The vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communication is an improvisation of the existing technologies.
The applications of ITS is vast and has further scope of development, depending on the technological advancements made. Currently, the applications of ITS are as follows – parking, traffic signal control system, advance collision warning system, advanced traffic information system, advanced cameras for traffic enforcement, dynamic traffic light systems, fleet management systems, and many more. All these systems and applications are used for varying functions such as – for providing traveller information, traffic management and monitoring, public transport management and monitoring, commercial vehicle operations, transport pricing system, parking management, and for emergency rescue operations.
The scope of market growth for ITS is, however, high across all regions, developed or developing, as both are still looking for solutions to address their growing transport networks.
