Smart transportation systems are used in various regions of the world, especially in regions such as the U.S., Singapore, and Italy. A smart transportation system is a technologically advanced program that aims to offer various services related to traffic management, such as intelligent real-time traffic information, driver scheduling, vehicle telematics, traffic signal management, automated traffic cameras, real-time GPS tracking, real-time bus schedule generation, automated freight management, real-time bus route planning, etc., and enable passengers to be safer, organized, and make more efficient use of existing transportation networks. Smart transportation systems are being developed continuously by transportation systems integrators in several countries around the world. It is predicted that shortly, every vehicle on the road will have been fitted with some sort of technology to make travel easier and more comfortable, and to avoid traffic jams.
According to some experts,
smart transportation will help to reduce traffic congestion, improve fuel economy, improve safety and reduce costs. Some benefits of smart transportation include longer commute time, less vehicle downtime, fewer traffic accidents, and improved customer satisfaction. A smart transportation system not only provides drivers with real-time information and real-time control over the vehicle, but also with safety features like anti-lock brakes, traction control, electronic control system, etc., and with features that provide comforts such as air conditioning, seat belts, autopilot, and other options.
