Abstract
This dissertation explores the complex field of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) based smart highway traffic management. In a time of increasing urbanization and vehicle density, effective traffic management has become essential for maintaining public safety, easing traffic, and maximizing resource use. Our objective is to combine a unique longitudinal dataset on road traffic with the implementation of a significant federally-funded ITS program in the India 511 Systems across 99 urban areas between 2015 and 2023 to investigate how ITS effect traffic congestion. Theoretical mechanisms are supported by empirical research which also demonstrates that ITS assist commuters in scheduling travel more effectively, selecting more favorable routes for navigation and maximizing their mode of transportation for work-related travel. This research expands the field of transportation economics to include IT-enabled traffic interventions. This research adds to the rapidly developing subject of smart transportation by offering a detailed knowledge of how ITS might transform highway traffic management and open the door for safer, more environmentally friendly and technologically sophisticated transportation networks.
