| 摘要： | Each year, 6 million crashes occur on U.S. highways, killing more than 41,000 people and injuring approximately 3.4 million others at a cost of more than $230 billion, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Despite these distressing statistics, driving has become safer in recent years, thanks to public information and education campaigns, standardization of automobile safety features, and improved vehicle crashworthiness and highway design. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), ranging from information processing and communications to traffic control devices and electronics, have also contributed to improved roadway safety. This article gives a brief overview of ITS technologies currently deployed and under development to help demonstrate the value these applications have in improving highway safety. |
