Intelligent transportation system. An intelligent transportation system (ITS) is an advanced application that aims to provide innovative services relating to different modes of transport and traffic management and enable users to be better informed and make safer, more coordinated, and 'smarter' use of transport networks.

Transportation systems management is a set of techniques used to increase the capacity of a piece of transportation infrastructure without increasing its physical size. [1] Most often, these techniques are used in the context of roadways. In this context, transportation systems management techniques may include changes to traffic signals, such ...
The engineering of this roundabout in Bristol, England, attempts to make traffic flow free-moving. Transportation engineering or transport engineering is the application of technology and scientific principles to the planning, functional design, operation and management of facilities for any mode of transportation in order to provide for the safe, efficient, rapid, comfortable, convenient ...
Transit Oriented Development. Many of the new towns created after World War II in Japan, Sweden, and France have many of the characteristics of TOD communities. In a sense, nearly all communities built on reclaimed land in the Netherlands or as exurban developments in Denmark have had the local equivalent of TOD principles integrated in their planning, including the promotion of bicycles for ...
Transportation demand management or travel demand management (TDM) is the application of strategies and policies to increase the efficiency of transportation systems, that reduce travel demand, or to redistribute this demand in space or in time. [1][2] In transport, as in any network, managing demand can be a cost-effective alternative to ...
A Transportation Management System (TMS) is a subset of supply chain management concerning transportation operations, which may be part of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. A TMS typically acts as an intermediary between an ERP or legacy order processing and warehouse /distribution module. In this setup, the TMS Planning Module ...
t. e. A transport network, or transportation network, is a network or graph in geographic space, describing an infrastructure that permits and constrains movement or flow. [1] Examples include but are not limited to road networks, railways, air routes, pipelines, aqueducts, and power lines. The digital representation of these networks, and the ...
Traffic simulation. Traffic simulation or the simulation of transportation systems is the mathematical modeling of transportation systems (e.g., freeway junctions, arterial routes, roundabouts, downtown grid systems, etc.) through the application of computer software to better help plan, design, and operate transportation systems.
