Research and Markets Adds Report: Roads to Intelligent Transportation Systems- Assessment Technologies and Markets

May 26, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Roads to Intelligent Transportation Systems: Assessment Technologies and Markets" report.

According to the report, the main motivation for ITS is the improvement of road safety. It is a startling fact that some 1.35 million people are estimated to die on the world's roads each year, and over 35 million are injured.

Standards work in ITS have been ongoing for more than 30 years, including such organizations as ITU, ETSI, IEEE, and ISO.

ITS development, at the present time, mostly concentrated on a car itself; an exception is "intelligent" tolling. Symbiosis of car operation functions with enhancement supported by radar and telecommunications technologies seems to be a very effective way to construct a car as a part of ITS, according to officials.


This report addresses ITS telecommunications and radar technologies and related markets.

The report analyzes technologies and markets for CDPS - Collision Detection and Prevention Systems. They include RCDPS -Radar CDPS and CCDPS - Communications CDPS. Devices, which belong to different classes, can work either independently, or together, supporting each other.

This report shows that both classes of the devices were adopted from other industries, namely radar and telecommunications. This adoption requires a lot of adjustment and design of the systems specific for the car collision prevention application. The report analyzes the CDPS market and provides a market forecast for 2009-2013. The analysis is based on the author's model of the market and the use of publicly available information as well as on the results of interviews with vendors.

This report also addresses marketing and technological issues of specific wireless technologies for ITS.
