Intelligent Transportation System and Traffic Safety in China

In traffic and transportation, safety is always the most important component. In recent years, the traffic and transportation industry develops rapidly bringing much convenience to people's life. However, the situation of traffic safety in China is not optimistic. The incidence of traffic accident remains high taking a heavy toll of human lives. The Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) is an integration of advanced and high technologies, which could be coordinated to cope with various kinds of traffic situation, so as to improve the traffic situation and to effectively solve the traffic safety problem. The purpose of this article is to introduce the traffic safety issues related to the ITS, to discuss what the ITS could do for the safety transportation, and how to reduce the traffic accident effectively. The significant role of ITS to transportation safety, and the potential impact of ITS to future transportation safety system in China are also discussed.
