ABSTRACT: Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies can supplement construction-based methods to improve the capacity of existing transportation systems. ITS then, presents viable solution to traffic congestion problems rather than focus only on the intensive road infrastructure developments and improvements. Baseline traffic information such as speed, and travel time along road networks, a fundamental knowledge-based resource used in traffic management, assessments and planning, can be obtained only through sustainable data collection system. Examination of ITS technologies shows that probe car survey system is a sustainable data collection method to gather real-time and historical traffic information.

Bicycle Highways
The New York Times published an interesting article about Bicycle Highways. Here's some quoted phrases mentioned in the article:
"The Bicycle Office of Copenhagen's design calls for service stations (with air pumps and tools for simple repairs) and plans to employ so-called intelligent transportation systems — not unlike the technology that makes the E-ZPass possible. Using handlebar-mounted RFID or GPS technology, for example, commuters could detect other riders on the routes, helping them to assemble into pelotons or "bike buses." These groups could in turn emit signals that trip traffic lights in their favor, resulting in a "green wave" of bicycle momentum."
Isn't this awesome?
