Abstract
Transport and Communication are important sectors for the economy of any country. The social-economic impact of this sector has led to this sector being shown more and more care in terms of ensuring the most efficient management. The rapid developments in the field of ICT have created the premises to enable the deep transformation of the transport sector. In the conditions of continuous population growth, continuous increase of vehicles, continuous increase of the inventory of national roads, we have a continuous increase in requirements for increasing road safety, for the best possible control of added traffic, to avoid traffic congestions, to minimize the emission of harmful gases into the atmosphere, therefore to improve the quality of life. ICT plays an increasingly important role both in increasing the comfort and performance of vehicles, as well as in the management of the road infrastructure, enabling the increase of safety standards, the increase of performance and the quality of life itself. Now, we can make transport more efficient, safer, more environmentally friendly, and more cost-effective. ICT has enabled the creation of a national and international collaborative platform for improving safety and environmental performance. Intelligent Traffic Monitoring Systems are one of the most efficient and cost-effective tools to improve all transportation system chain component elements.

Keywords
