INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS - A LITERATURE REVIEW FROM INDIAN PERSPECTIVE.

Objectives:- This paper aims to build a structured literature review to the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). In this literature review an effort made to critically evaluate the earlier research work and methodologies related with Intelligent Transportation Systems to study, analyze and evaluate its relevance in today’s changing environment. The recently published research articles related to ITS are undertaken for the study. Prior work:-This paper is making an attempt to explore the knowledge in the areas of ITS by reviewing the related past publications in the field of ITS. Approach:- The paper adopts the narrative review methodology to critically review the literature published in the areas of ITS. Results:-The literature review focuses on different areas such as: ITS applicability in the developing countries like India with major issue of Traffic congestion, Infrastructure constraints, High Traffic Loads, Non-Lane Traffic System etc. There are few research gaps were identified in the field specifically in the areas of ITS and its practical implementation. To fill these gaps and extend previous studies within the field, there is a need for conducting research to investigate the relationship between ITS and its implementing issues. Based on the findings the author highly recommends that the ITS implementation in Indian perspective requires very diverse approach than the developed countries. Implications:-This study will give a substantial information which results into benefits for policy makers, entrepreneurs, researchers, and educators as giving clear view and detail understanding of the ITS and related issues in its implementation. Value:-This paper will add to the body of knowledge by investigating and illustrating a survey and narrative review of the published work in the field of ITS and its implementation with special focus on Indian perspectives. Depending on this review, researchers and scholars in the field of ITS can have a clearer view to set their attitude towards suitable future research studies and methodologies which in turn will contribute to the related accumulated knowledge in the field.
