Co-operative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS)

Co-operative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS) are advanced technology systems that enable vehicles, infrastructure, and traffic management tools to communicate with each other in real-time. This interconnected communication helps improve road safety, reduce congestion, and enhance driving efficiency by sharing information about traffic conditions, accidents, or hazards. For example, cars can warn each other of a sudden stop ahead or suggest alternative routes. C-ITS uses sensors, wireless networks, and data processing to create a safer and more efficient transportation environment, benefiting both drivers and pedestrians while reducing environmental impact.
