Abstract:
This study investigates the impact of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)
on driver behavior and road safety in Annaba, Algeria, with a particular focus on
how these systems influence compliance with traffic regulations and reduce
accident rates in an urban environment with developing infrastructure. Using a
mixed-methods approach, we combined quantitative traffic data with qualitative
insights from driver surveys to assess behavioral changes. Additionally, the
SUMO (Simulation of Urban MObility) tool was employed to model traffic flows
and simulate ITS scenarios, such as adaptive signal control and automated
speed enforcement.
