Application of Artificial Intelligence for Development of Intelligent Transport System in Smart Cities

Abstract

This study presents basic concepts and applications of Artificial Intelligence System (AIS) for development of intelligent transport systems in smart cities in India. With growing urbanization the government has now realized the need for developing smart cities that can cope with the challenges of urban living and also be magnets for investment in India. Transport system in smart cities should be accessible, safe, environmentally friendly, faster, comfortable and affordable without compromising the future needs. The Indian cities largely lacks of Intelligent Transport System in India and there are various problems such as inefficient public transport system, severe congestion, increasing incidence of road accidents, inadequate parking spaces and a rapidly increasing energy cost etc. Therefore, development of Intelligent Transportation System is essential for smart cities due to concerns regarding the environmental, economic, and social equity. Artificial Intelligence is a key technology to resolve these issues. Therefore, there is an urgent need to adopt Artificial Intelligence system for development of Intelligent Transport System to better understand and control its operations in smart cities. Hence, the main objective of this study is to present some basic concepts of Artificial Intelligence and its applications for development of Intelligent Transport System in smart cities in India. This study concludes that Artificial Intelligence system needs to be adopted to develop smart public transport system, intelligent traffic management and control, smart traveller information system, smart parking management and safe mobility & emergency system in smart cities. It is expected that this study will pave the way for development of Intelligent Transport System in smart cities in India.
