DESIGN STRATEGIES FOR WEB BASED ITS APPLICATIONS - A Proposed Architecture in Design of Intelligent Transport Systems Application

Abstract

Modern ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) applications are designed on Web paradigm, exploiting third-party web services for accessing, for instance, to geographic information and routine such as cartography, route planning or weather condition services. This allows a customer to use the ITS platform as an outsourcing service, due to the Web interface, reducing maintenance costs and improving the application accessibility.The web technology creates only a basis for an easy SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) integration. In order to have a full SOA compliant ITS application we have to adopt a new perspective for the ITS applications design: from a monolithic and closed web application to open framework of services and APIs capable of user customizations.In fact, a third-party application like an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) can take many advantages by linking its vehicles, drivers, workers (and mobile resources in general) directly with real-time and historical data of the ITS. In this paper we demonstrate that integrating an ITS application developed on the Java platform with modern Scripting Engines and Languages such as Groovy, JRuby or Mozilla Rhino greatly enhances the possibility of extending and integrating the application itself with external applications.
