Intelligent Transport Systems if properly implemented will make two-wheeler safer, secure and more efficient. They will be providing GPS navigation systems, real-time traffic updates and much more.
Two-wheelers are very different from four-wheelers and ITS will be a challenge. Electronic system has to be more compact, durable against rain, dust and vibrations. manufacturers will also have to face the challenge of software development challenges.
