Research and Markets: Roads to Intelligent Transportation Systems: Assessment Technologies and Markets - Order Now

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/95ba9e/roads_to_intellige) has
announced the addition of the "Roads to Intelligent Transportation Systems:
Assessment Technologies and Markets" report to their offering.

Intelligent Transportation Systems make it possible to imagine a near future in
which cars will be able to foresee and avoid collisions, navigate the quickest
route to their destination, making use of up-to-the minute traffic reports,
identify the nearest available parking slot and minimize their carbon emissions.
The main motivation for ITS is the improvement of road safety. It is a startling
fact that some 1.35 million people are estimated to die on the world's roads
each year, and over 35 million are injured.

Standards work in ITS have been ongoing for more than 30 years, including such
organizations as ITU, ETSI, IEEE, and ISO.

ITS development, at the present time, mostly concentrated on a car itself; an
exception is "intelligent" tolling. Symbiosis of car operation functions with
enhancement supported by radar and telecommunications technologies seems to be a
very effective way to construct a car as a part of ITS. The goal is to reduce
probability of driver's mistakes, which are the main cause of accidents. This
goal can be achieved by putting a burden to analyze the road situation and to
make decisions based on such an analysis on a computer. Such a computer is
supported by radars for sensing the road situation and by telecommunications
devices to communicate with other vehicles, intelligent road and law
enforcement/emergency personnel.

This report addresses ITS telecommunications and radar technologies and related
markets.

A. The report analyzes technologies and markets for CDPS - Collision Detection
and Prevention Systems. They include RCDPS -Radar CDPS and CCDPS -
Communications CDPS. Devices, which belong to different classes, can work either
independently, or together, supporting each other.

This report shows that both classes of the devices were adopted from other
industries, namely radar and telecommunications. This adoption requires a lot of
adjustment and design of the systems specific for the car collision prevention
application. The report analyzes the CDPS market and provides a market forecast
for 2009-2013. The analysis is based on the author's model of the market and the
use of publicly available information as well as on the results of interviews
with vendors.

B. This report also addresses marketing and technological issues of specific
wireless technologies for ITS. Particular, the following evolving technologies
and specific projects were considered:

1. 5.9 GHz DSRC

2. CALM (Continuous Air-interface, Long and Medium Range)

3. The report also concentrates on the analysis of multiple ITS networking
projects that are conducting in various parts of the world.

The report also provides marketing statistics for some of the discussed
technologies.

Target Audience

This report is important to a wide population of researches, technical and sales
staff involved in the developing of high-speed wireless services and products
for transportation. It is recommended for both service providers and vendors
that are working with related technologies. The report also helps to understand
issues associated with relationship between ITS wireless communications and
other technologies.
