Internet of Things-Based Smart Transportation System for Smart Cities

Abstract

AbstractTransportation has been one of the essential requirements for humanity since the dawn of civilization. Intelligent transportation systems have been augmented with Information and Communications Technology (ICT) as technology has progressed. Smart cities, which combine ICT and the Internet of Things (IoT), have already emerged as a tool to improve the efficiency of city operations and services. Several IoT-based smart city applications have recently been developed. Among these applications, smart transportation services are critical for addressing challenges such as road safety, traffic management, and vehicle parking. Autonomous vehicles have gotten a lot of attention recently, and various researchers are working to improve this technology. The present work discusses vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication, which are the basic principles behind autonomous vehicles. In addition, IoT-based smart parking system for smart cities is discussed, and IoT-based smart transportation system for smart cities is also discussed. With the advent of the smart city initiative, the topics discussed in the current work are vital. The work presented in the current chapter will provide a clear idea and vision to the city administrators, policymakers, legislators, and city planners.KeywordsVehicle-to-vehicle communicationVehicle-to-infrastructure communicationSmart transportation systemAutonomous vehiclesSmart parking system
