Developing Intelligent Transportation Solutions

Course Summary

The transport system is a vital component of modern city planning world-wide. However, with older and more traditional systems, there is an increasing number of complications and challenges as the demands of the transport systems have evolved. To address these modern problems, integrating intelligent transportation solutions has been found to be incredibly effective.

For established systems, it can be extremely difficult to address issues such as traffic flow and congestion directly through the physical infrastructure of the system. The transition to utilising intelligent transportation solutions can greatly remove the pressure on the current physical systems. Effective intelligent transportation systems can reduce congestion, increase vehicle safety, and increase user accessibility.

Not only does intelligent transportation systems benefit the users of the system, it is also highly beneficial in reducing costs, increasing investment returns and reducing negative environmental impact.

Intelligent transportation solutions utilise existing and emerging technologies, including commutation and information technologies, to improve traffic systems. Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) data communication is becoming increasingly important for this. As V2V technologies have developed, there has been a vast rise in the use of self-driving and operated vehicles.


  • To understand the importance of intelligent transportation solutions.
  • To review how intelligent transportation benefits a modern society.
  • To analyse the details of intelligent transport systems (ITS) architecture.
  • To assess the process of planning, designing, and implementing intelligent transport systems.
  • To conduct risk assessments and create risk management plans for intelligent systems.
  • To implement risk mitigation measures for intelligent transport system projects.
  • To understand the role of vehicle-to-vehicle communication.
  • To utilise existing and new technologies to improve the level of service in traffic and transport.

This course is designed for anyone with the responsibilities of transportation planning, design, and development. It would be most beneficial for:

  • Civil Engineers
  • Traffic Engineers
  • Urban Planners
  • Project Managers
  • Chief Technology Officers (CTOs)
  • Chief Information Officers (CIOs)
  • Strategic Development Managers
  • Data Analysts

This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to aid full understanding and comprehension. Participants will review case studies of real-world transport systems and how intelligent solutions have been implemented to resolve major challenges.

They will be provided with all the necessary tools and equipment to carry out the various learning exercises. Alongside the overall case studies, participants will partake in presentations, group discussions and practical demonstrations to ensure they develop a thorough understanding of the taught content. They will also be granted the opportunity to create their own intelligent solutions to examples of traffic issues.
