Abstract

This article discusses the essence of the intelligent transport system. Its concept is described and the main components of implementation are identified. The results of the introduction of the intelligent transport system in European cities are studied. An unpredictable increase in the level of motorization annually leads to congestion on the city's road network. This leads to increased consumption of time, fuel and emissions, as well as delays in public transport, which affects its popularity among locals. Thus, it worsens the environmental situation in the city, especially in its central part, because it is in it that the largest congestion of cars is observed. Infrastructure needs to be developed to solve this problem, but it usually requires significant financial and time costs. Therefore, it is necessary to look for alternative solutions to the problem. The purpose of the work is to analyze the feasibility of implementing intelligent transport systems to reduce congestion in European cities. Much attention is paid to the issue of improving the organization of road traffic by domestic and foreign scientists such as Ertman S.A, Klinkovshtein G.I, Taranenko S.M. Lack of research in the field of implementation of intelligent transport systems determines the relevance of the article. After analyzing the intelligent transport systems of European cities, their characteristics were provided, the results of implementation were indicated, which had a positive effect. In the conditions of rapid urbanization and motorization, it is necessary to use modern technologies for the effective functioning of the transport industry as a whole. Therefore, the introduction of an intelligent transport system is appropriate and justified. The transport sector is a key factor in the development and functioning of the economy. Implementing an intelligent transportation system in the city will help increase road capacity and thus reduce the cost of time and money for drivers.
