Abstract :
We categorise the intelligent transport system subsystems, which help in the protection of transport infrastructure and systems against transport terrorism. Intelligent transport systems (ITS) are a range of information communication, control and electronic technologies which when incorporated into the transportation system and infrastructure can enable the monitoring and management of transport related terrorism. Although ITS subsystems are primarily used for transport safety purposes (such as in passenger data delivery, traffic control and monitoring), their inherent proactiveness and quick response capability make them a possibility for use in securing systems and infrastructure.
