applications for advanced traffic management systems.
[2 marks]
d. ITSresemble of an interplay between travellers, data centres, roadside infrastructure,
and vehicles.
[2 marks]
e. ITSstandards refer to a framework that lays out the boundaries, the players, and the
strategies for that process of information management in a specific geographical
boundary and specified time period.
[2 marks]
f. An ITS architecture ensures system compatibility, shrinkability, interoperability and
standardability.
[2 marks]
g. ITS relies on interactions among three layers of infrastructure, transportation layer,
traffic signal layer and the information layer.

h. Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI), Weigh in Motion (WiM) technologies, electronic
cargo clearance systems and telematics are all examples of ITS in commercial vehicle
operations.
[2 marks]
i. Advanced Traveller Information Systems provide travellers with information regarding
road conditions and whether c?nditions only.
[2 marks]
j. Incident Management Systems focus on maximizing the use of available roadway
capacity and reducing the impact of nonrecurring congestion resulting from incidents.
