摘要：Intelligent transport systems (ITS) represent a significant advancement and departure from traditional approaches to processing information and managing in traffic systems. Implementation of ITS provides direct advantages and more efficient, comfortable and safe transport flow. Progressive growth and the globalisation of the economic activity directly influence ports and terminals and their adjustment process. Accomplishing competition status and satisfaction of the users' requirements, decreasing harmful and. aggressive impact on the environment is directly correlated to ITS implementation. Efficient and rational transport of increasing quantities of different cargo requires that the ports be regarded as subsystems of traffic systems and backbone of integrated transport. Processes of liberalisation and globalisation of world economy stimulate ports, when making development plans, pricing, purchase or leasing of cargo handling mechanisation and introduction of automation systems to tend to achieve and keep comparative advantages related to other competitive ports. In order to stay alive on the maritime market, ports have to consider the possibilities of implementation of intelligent transport systems. Primary and specific characteristics of ITS in ports as crucial subsystem of the sea transport system, are considered in this paper.
