Sažetak
Traffic and transport engineering of the 21st century requires new approach in order to make transport safer, more efficient and reliable, with minimal impact on the environment and society. Basic characteristics of this new approach are increasing demands followed by the imperative of lower costs. Traffic safety is especially very important. The challenge is to increase traffic safety by 50% until 2020 in order to reach the main goal of zero fatalities in 2050. The goal for more efficient traffic system is set for reducing congestion – 2% Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and – 60% energy efficiency & emissions until 2050. The expectations for urban traffic are especially high with demands in integration of different transport modes and significant reduction of noise and air pollution. The European Union has recognised intelligent transport systems (ITS) as the technological basis for accomplishing these goals. ITS is an holistic, control and information communication technologies (ICT) upgrade of classic traffic and transport systems which significantly improves system performance, traffic safety, efficiency in transportation of goods and passengers, increases passenger protection and comfort, reduces pollution, etc..The article gives an overview about cooperative approach in intelligent transport systems.
