The research aim to discuss the issues and challenges of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) to road users in Malaysia.ITS bring significant improvement in transportation system performance, including reduced congestion, increased safety and traveller convenience.The goal of intelligent transportation systems is to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and safety of the transportation system.Effective deployment of ITS technologies depends in part on the knowledge of which technologies will most effectively address the issues of congestion and safety.Thus, it is important to understand the benefits of both existing and emerging technologies. This paper identifies the issues and challenges ITS to road users in Malaysia.Actually, ITS give many impact to road users and also to transportation system in Malaysia.In conclusion, Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) is a broad range of diverse technologies, including information processing, communications, control and electronics, which, when applied to the transportation system, can save time, money and lives.Besides that, ITS can be used to manage congestion in Malaysia, enhance safety and help road users to solve their problem such as congestion.
