Abstract

The use of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) has led to substantially ease of traffic and increased road safety. The application of such system is currently expanding in Iran with the objective of reducingroad accidents; however, the key element in the installation of ITS is; the positioning on installation site.
Geographic Information System (GIS) is a software which is helpful in locating optimal and effectivepositions for the installation of ITS. The analysis of road incidents of the 60km Andimeshk-PoleZal road, which lies along the ancient Asian Freeway shows that human error is involved in more than 97% of the accidents, therefore the effect of ITS can reduce human factor by alarming, it is expected that the use of ITS along with proper road patrolling can result in significant decline of road accidents in this Route.
