Talk:Intelligent transportation system

"'When these systems were first introduced', some drivers resisted them, viewing them as a way for management to spy on the driver. Only a foolish management would use it this way. ... If management treats drivers as the heroes they often are" -- Is this NPOV?

Management must be foolish, then. UPS used this system to unionbust by tracking when trucks would meet up, thus determining that drivers were talking to each other. Graft

TMC means what now?

With regards to the "Virtual TMC", is that a repeat of TMC meaning Traffic Message Channel, or is it the TMC that stands for Traffic Management Center and is synonymous with TOC (Traffic Operations Center)? Should probably be clarified...The Literate Engineer 00:51, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm assuming it means Traffic Management Center. A virtual one would be, e.g., web-based. -- Super Aardvark 18:59, 10 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

USA-Centric

The story about the growth of suburbia, just to name one, is very USA-centric. I added the "globalize" template Samfreed 10:24, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup

Main thing this article needs as far as cleanup is some better organization. For starters, a better introduction, with a more universal statement about ITS technologies and mentioning things like the evolution of the "ITS" name from "IVHS (Intelligent Vehicle/Highway Systems)" could be used. Then, a real organization of the content, likely with sub-pages for basic, broad categories: traveller information, vehicle control, roadway management, etc. And a shift from list-based to paragraph-based content would be good... I started that by deleting the "Outline" list. The Literate Engineer 00:06, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't throw out the good with the bad

Dear Literate Engineer,

I have reviewed Intelligent transportation system article and have the following comments: First, it is WP customary practice to post a clean-up tag and then wait 3-5 days before commencing the actual clean-up deletion process. We don't want to throw out the baby with the water, and therefore Literate Wikipedians should be afforded the chance to review the good and the bad and suggest accordingly. If you agree with me, please revert the page back and let's allow for community consensus to elaborate on the findings and propose accordingly -- if nobody responds, then let's speedily delete. :) Best regards --Lperez2029 14:59, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
