Study the Importance of Intelligent Transportation Systems in Solving Congestion Problems within the City and Conservation of the Environment

Abstract

Baghdad city suffer from the traffic jams problem. The lack of roads is accommodating the increase in transportation as well as the lack of the organization and healthy management. Meanwhile, traffic lights defect due to it may location near to the checkpoint which causes traffic jam and unusual delay. The transportation services depend on (private, taxi) cars which cause increase in traffic movement, energy consumption, emission of polluting gases for environment and the most important (first carbon oxide, nitrogen oxides, lead, carbon dioxide, suspended particles, oxides of sulfur. Thereby, this research will done determination the pollution rates induced from congestion in streets associated in the yard located near institute of technology / Baghdad. An account rate gases emitted from vehicles using regression equations de-pending on traffic size in streets, flow speed traffic movement, neighbouring building height, and afforestation density. The search reached to finding species and gasses rate which pollution the environment in comparison with international Health standards and benefit of the application Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) to reduce of the pollution ratio the resulting of traffic jams.
