The high degree of the trend in the development of the car park leads to significant problems: an increase in road accidents; reduced bandwidth, especially during peak hours; overrun and loss of time by road users; overconsumption of fuel and, as a result, deterioration of the environmental situation. One of the ways to solve the problem of traffic management is the use of intelligent transport systems (ITS). Examples of the use of ITS in various countries are given, improvements in the use of systems are considered. The system “Auto-Intellect” used on the territory of the Russian Federation is considered. On the example of the city of Belgorod, a method is proposed for using ITS by prohibiting vehicles from entering the city, taking into account certain state license plates.
