Abstract Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) involve various emerging technologies and applications. This paper presents a comprehensive review of recent advances on data/information fusion and context-awareness referring to ITS. Data/Information fusion is necessary to fuse the data from different sensors and thereby extract relevant information on the target sources. On the other hand, context-aware information processing provides awareness of the driving environments by deploying intelligent query processing and smart information dissemination. The fusion and context-awareness should help in improving ITS operations with better road-awareness service, traffic monitoring, vehicle detection as well as development of new methods. This paper is centered on data fusion and context aware methodologies developed recently in the areas of ITS rather than on their ITS applications. We found that the recent progresses in ITS fusion are devoted to the potential cooperative approaches providing real-time/dynamic vehicle sensing technologies, whereas the recent context awareness techniques are deploying service concepts (e.g. location aware service) and frameworks. It is believed that the newly developed advanced fusion/context-aware techniques are becoming more effective to tackle complex traffic scenarios (e.g. traffic intersection) as well as complex urban environments.
