Received: 22 June 2011; in revised form: 15 July 2011 / Accepted: 18 July 2011 / Published: 25 July 2011 Abstract: The use of newly emerging sensor technologies in traditional roadway systems can provide real-time traffic services to drivers through Telematics and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITSs). This paper introduces a smart roadside system that utilizes various sensors for driver assistance and traffic safety warnings. This paper shows two road application models for a smart roadside system and sensors: a red-light violation warning system for signalized intersections, and a speed advisory system for highways. Evaluation results for the two services are then shown using a micro-simulation method. In the given real-time applications for drivers, the framework and certain algorithms produce a very efficient solution with respect to the roadway type features and sensor type use. Keywords: ITS (Intelligent Traffic Systems); smart roadside server; infrastructure-based sensor; vehicle sensor 1. Introduction Telematics are defined as in-vehicle systems that offer active safety and infotainment services as well as location and traffic information via wireless communication technologies. In many countries, a variety of in-vehicle Telematics systems and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are already available, whil
