 According to Tay's "Tapping Tech for Smoother Traffic” (2018), the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) has greatly improved traffic in Singapore. The ITS was launched by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to improve traffic efficiency and safety. The ITS introduced various systems such as the Green Link Determining (GLIDE) system to improve traffic flow by adjusting the green time at traffic signals according to real-time vehicle and pedestrian volume. Other ITS such as the Expressway Monitoring & Advisory System (EMAS) contribute to safety. The EMAS features cameras along expressways to detect obstructions and monitor speed. When operators detect an accident or breakdown, they activate a recovery crew and alert motorists of the situation via electronic signboards along expressways. As a result, road accidents in Singapore have reduced significantly. Smoother traffic allowed for reduction in time travel for motorists and public bus users alike (Tay, 2018). The article sta

According to Tay's "Tapping Tech for Smoother Traffic” (2018) the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) has greatly improved traffic in Singapore. Singapore struggled with its transport system after gaining independence in 1965, resulting in heavy traffic delays. These issues were tackled by implementing more road systems as stated in the article. However, better traffic management was still needed by the 21st century to deal with increasing vehicle population and complex roads. Singapore’s Land Transport Authority (LTA) started focusing on technology to improve traffic efficiency and safety. Hence, the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) was launched.  The ITS introduced various systems such as the Green Link Determining (GLIDE) system to improve traffic flow by adjusting the green time at traffic signals according to real-time vehicle and pedestrian volume.
