The goal of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) is to improve the effectiveness,
efficiency, and safety of the transportation system. Effective deployment of ITS
technologies depends in part on the knowledge of which technologies will most
effectively address the issues of congestion and safety. Thus, it is important to
understand the benefits of both existing and emerging technologies. Based on
documented experience locally and throughout the country, ITS deployments in urban
areas have the potential to offer the following benefits:
• Arterial management systems can potentially reduce delays between 5% and 40%
with the implementation of advanced control systems and traveler information
dissemination.
• Freeway management systems can reduce the occurrence of crashes by up to
40%, increase capacity, and decrease overall travel times by up to 60%.
• Freight management systems reduce costs to motor carriers by 35% with the
implementation of the commercial vehicle information systems and networks.
• Transit management systems may reduce travel times by up to 50% and increased
reliability by 35% with automatic vehicle location and transit signal priority
implementation.
• Incident management systems potentially reduce incident duration by 40% and
offer numerous other benefits, such as increased public support for DOT activities
and goodwill.

The disadvantage of tendering systems is that they are very competitive. The advantage to tendering systems is that they always guarantee performance.

The population of Intelligent Systems is 130.
The disadvantage of modern agriculture is that the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has a negative effect on the environment. The advantage of the modern agriculture is that the use of machine and the use of large irrigation systems help boost the crop production.

Computer systems are helpful because they allow people to increase their productivity. One disadvantage to computer systems is the fact that you have to learn how to use them efficiently.
IEEE Intelligent Systems was created in 1997.
Intelligent Systems was created on 1984-02-18.
The advantage of scientific management is that it is effective and efficient. The disadvantage is that it is costly to train the personnel and install some systems.
