An Introduction to Intelligent Transportation Systems: Course Description

During rush hour traffic, while waiting on a train or while trying to pass a vehicle that's going too slow, it's easy to wonder who in the world designed the the road you're driving on. When transportation systems, including roadways, are designed, many factors must be considered. These factors include integration with existing transportation systems, cost, environmental impact, potential to affect local economies and sustainability. This OpenCourseWare provided by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)'s School of Engineering in Cambridge, Massachusetts covers the development of intelligent transportation systems in the U.S. and the world. Students will study the important issues and concerns that make up the development of intelligent transportation systems, and how they relate to architecture, technology and cost. MIT professor Joseph Sussman teaches this OpenCourseWare designed to provide an introduction to the design, implementation and future of intelligent transportation systems.

Lectures, notes and study materials are available for free online. For more information on this free OpenCourseWare, visit the introduction to intelligent transportation systems course page.
