Highlighting Industry Issues

At ITS India Forum, we serve as the voice of the intelligent transportation systems (ITS) industry, advocating for policies that accelerate innovation, enhance road safety, and promote sustainable mobility. Our mission is to bridge the gap between technology advancements and regulatory frameworks, ensuring that India’s transportation ecosystem evolves to meet global standards.

Urban Mobility Challenges

With rapid urbanization, Indian cities face increased traffic congestion, air pollution, and inadequate public transportation infrastructure. ITS solutions like smart traffic management systems, adaptive signaling, and public transit optimization are critical. We advocate for:

  • Policies supporting smart city initiatives.
  • Incentives for ITS adoption in urban planning.
  • Integration of public and private transportation data for seamless mobility.

Road Safety and Accident Reduction

India accounts for one of the highest numbers of road traffic fatalities globally. The ITS India Forum actively promotes:

  • Implementation of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in vehicles.
  • Mandatory deployment of Intelligent Traffic Enforcement Systems.
  • Policy frameworks for connected vehicle technologies.

Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV)

The future of transportation lies in automation and connectivity. To foster this innovation, we advocate for:

  • A robust regulatory environment for testing and deploying CAVs.
  • Collaboration between public and private sectors for infrastructure readiness.
  • Policies encouraging R&D in autonomous technology.

Freight and Logistics Optimization

Efficient freight transportation is vital for India’s economy. ITS India Forum works towards policies that enable:

  • Adoption of telematics and GPS-enabled freight tracking systems.
  • Development of smart logistics corridors.
  • Integration of ITS for real-time freight management.

Sustainable and Green Transportation

Climate change demands an urgent shift toward eco-friendly transportation. Our advocacy includes:

  • Policies promoting electric vehicles (EVs) and supporting charging infrastructure.
  • Incentives for adopting ITS solutions that reduce fuel consumption.
  • Integration of ITS in multimodal transport for reduced environmental impact.

Data Privacy and Cybersecurity

With ITS relying heavily on data, privacy and security are paramount. We push for:

  • Policies ensuring secure data sharing between stakeholders.
  • Standards for protecting critical infrastructure from cyber threats.
  • Development of ethical guidelines for AI and machine learning in ITS.
