Telematics and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) integrate vehicles with advanced communications and information technologies to move people and goods more safely, efficiently, and comfortably. In the United States, traffic accidents caused over 43,000 people to die last year. In Europe, the number of people killed everyday is comparable to a medium-haul plane crash. In the Asia and Pacific region, some 10 million people are severely injured or killed each year on the roads and nearly 100,000 people are killed every year on the roads in India. Vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-network communications will enable drivers to detect dangerous situations to avoid accidents and save lives.
