Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are the integration of information and communications technologies with applications which are significant in traffic control and management. The increased number of on road vehicles in urban areas urges the need of development of automated methods for traffic management. Vehicle identification, classification and analysis enable the intelligent transportation systems to make decisions. In this paper, an automated method for video analysis for vehicle identification using a modified Region based Convolution Neural Network (RCNN) has been proposed. The traffic videos collected by CCTV cameras installed on the roads are analyzed for vehicle identification in a given frame. The pretrained google net is used to extract features. These features are used by the Region based Convolution Neural Network for vehicle identification. The vehicles are identified using probability score computed using intersection of objects (IoU). The identified vehicles are classified into ten different vehicle classes. The proposed network concatenates features from previous layers to reduce loss and consequently improve the vehicle identification accuracy. The vehicle identification method is further extended for vehicle counting and behavioral analysis. The vehicle counting information can be used for congestion control in smart cities. The behavioral analysis includes computation of speed of vehicles. The speed information is useful for traffic law enforcement in smart cities. The proposed method is applied on MIO-TCD vehicle dataset and EBVT video dataset. The results are calculated using three different metrics namely average accuracy, mean precision and mean recall. Obtained results are also compared with other state of the art methods. The results show significant improvement and thus the method can be effectively used for video analysis.

With the gradual maturity of geographical multimedia information system, applying geographical multimedia information system to urban intelligent traffic management information system and urban traffic sharing information platform can realize unified management and real-time update of traffic information.

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are increasingly shifting toward data-driven and artificial intelligence-based frameworks that integrate sensing, prediction, and control to enhance mobility efficiency, safety, and adaptability. This dissertation contributes to the development of next-generation ITS through three complementary studies focusing on flexible traffic monitoring, real-time traffic forecasting, and stability-aware vehicle control. The first study develops a multi-drone framework for wide-view corridor traffic analysis and origin-destination (OD) estimation. By coordinating multiple unmanned aerial vehicles, as demonstrated with two drones in this study, the framework enables continuous vehicle tracking across extended corridors. A deep learning-based pipeline combining vehicle detection and tracking automatically reconstructs vehicle trajectories and matches them across drone views. Field experiments conducted at a freeway weaving section achieved over 91% accuracy in OD flow estimation compared with ground-truth data, demonstrating the framework’s effectiveness for scalable and high-resolution traffic monitoring. The second study proposes a day-specific spatial-temporal graph convolutional network (Day-STGCN) for real-time traffic forecasting. Building upon the classical STGCN architecture, the model integrates rolling historical time-dependent features with day-type categorization to capture both short-term variations and long-term recurring patterns. Using real-world sensor data, the model significantly improves prediction accuracy over baseline graph neural networks, providing robust day-aware forecasting that reflects realistic daily traffic dynamics. The third study investigates cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC) and its effects on traffic string stability under varying market penetration rates of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs). Analytical derivations establish explicit stability conditions linking controller parameters, time headway, and control intervals in both homogeneous and heterogeneous traffic flows. The results reveal that appropriately designed CACC controllers enhance string stability even in mixed environments with different types of vehicles. Collectively, these studies present an integrated framework that advances ITS through data-driven sensing, learning, and control, offering theoretical and practical foundations for more intelligent, responsive, and stable transportation systems.

Since last decades world, predominantly urban areas, is experiencing huge voluminous road traffic growth, resulting in heavy congestion, air pollution, accidents, and poor efficiency. Many people every day are the victims of this poor management of tremendous traffic. Since many years, there had been some automation in managing the traffic namely Electronic Toll Collection (ETC), Electronic parking payment, normal traffic information etc. However, there are little efforts for making the system more advanced. Recently, several kinds of research are being launched by many countries to develop Intelligent Transport System (ITS), with the objectives to minimize congestion, ensure better safety, reduce air pollution etc. ITS are planned to establish robust communication between vehicle to vehicle (V2V), vehicle to pedestrian (V2P), vehicle to infrastructure (V2I), and vehicle to network (V2N). Initially, for communication links ITS, deploys Wi-Fi network, but because of limited capacity and huge requirement, some links use 5.8 GHz radio frequency for such purposes. IEEE, International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and other advanced research organisations are studying 700 MHz band and mm frequency bands for advanced ITS. ITS is poised to use Information & Communication Technology (ICT) networks for such purposes. ITU has established Study Groups/study questions for addressing ITS issues. The World Radio Conference (WRC-2019) has made a Recommendation 208 regarding harmonization of frequency bands for ITS applications. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of ITS, its applications and analysis etc. The radio frequency spectrum aspects and role of 5 G in ITS are also described in detail.

The introduction to autonomous vehicles and intelligent transportation systems, as well as related work on autonomous vehicles and intelligent transportation systems, are described in this chapter. Aside from that, it has a chapter on autonomous intelligent vehicles and autonomous vehicles. Issues and challenges in autonomous intelligent vehicles, as well as the framework of an intelligent transportation system. In addition, the chapter discusses research opportunities in autonomous intelligent vehicles, IPv4 and IPv6 issues, and the future of IPv9 for vehicles, as well as a survey on autonomous vehicles in highway scenarios. During the last century, the automobile industry has excelled at producing cars that are both safe and affordable. Because of significant advancements in the Internet of things (IoT), the programmable logic controller (PLC), and other aspects of computing, autonomous vehicles (AVs) are becoming a reality. Cars, trucks, and other vehicles that don’t need to be plugged in to get power are referred to as self-sufficient vehicles. The multi-agent-based transportation system, which demonstrates how vehicles, drivers, roads, infrastructure, and vehicles all work together, is one of the most important intelligent transportation systems because it demonstrates how all of these things work together. To solve and manage traffic problems, an intelligent transportation systems (ITS) system employs a variety of technologies. Communication and control, vehicle sensing, and electronics are among these technologies. ITS has been used in the developed world for the past two decades. It is still a novel concept in the developing world. Sensors and computers work together in the Internet of things to store and process data, and data analytics is used to make the traffic system run more smoothly.KeywordsAutonomous vehicle (AV)Intelligent transportation system (ITS)Autonomous intelligent vehicle (AIV)Advanced driver assistance system (ADAS)Advanced driving system (ADS)

<p><span lang="EN-US">The evolution of intelligent transportation system (ITS) is essentially meant for upgrading the driving experience with more safety and accessibility of various analytical information from its extensive network. However, a significant gap is observed that doesn't cater up the complete demands of ITS. It has been also noted that computational intelligence (CI) based approach is slowly gaining pace in solving the transport related problems in ITS as compared to its other counterpart existing methodologies like artificial intelligence. The proposed manuscript introduces a novel computational framework towards assisting in relaying routing and navigational services using CI-based approach. A design of novel navigational controller unit is presented for global ITS scenario towards yielding an optimal decision of routing. The CI-based approach is implemented by integrating fuzzy process with evolutionary searching, learning and probability theory in most simplified form. The study also introduces a novel concept of relaying decision as feedback from navigational controller unit to specific vehicular node discretely unlike existing traffic controller system with an agenda to offer faster and effective clearance of queued vehicular nodes from target area. The study outcome shows higher consistency in its relay with better performance from existing study model in ITS.</span></p>

This paper examines the relationship between public and private investments in intelligent transportation system (ITS) technology and the effects on transportation performance through the highway system. ITS technology is an infrastructure that promotes integrated information sharing that can be used to improve system performance. ITS combines better infrastructure with information and control technologies to ( a) reduce traffic congestion by maintaining traffic flow, ( b) reduce transportation-generated pollution, ( c) improve transport efficiency, and ( d) produce economic benefits. A statistical analysis of partial least squares structural equation modeling was used to test three hypothesized relationships. Primary data were collected from U.S.-based commercial vehicle transportation service providers. Respondents were parceled with a geographic information system analysis of secondary data from the U.S. Department of Transportation National ITS Deployment Tracking Survey. On the basis of their level of regional ITS experience, primary data respondents were matched to regions and split between regions with low ITS experience and high ITS experience as a proxy for regional public investments in ITS. Performance measures were based on efficiency, reliability, responsiveness, quality, carbon emissions reduction, and equipment utilization for commercial vehicle operators. Results indicate that private investments in ITS significantly positively affect the responsiveness performance measure for commercial vehicle operators in regions with high public ITS investments. The same relationship is not significant in regions with low public ITS investments, which indicates at least some transportation performance improvements for regions with higher investments in ITS. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Half of the world’s population resides in cities and this percentage is going to rise in the coming years. This rapid transformation of the economy and society is making traditional city management redundant. Intensive urbanization has brought with it some challenges. Scanty resources, population growth, increased carbon footprint, reduced air quality, congestion on roads, depriving health status, and falling food quality, all are prominent parts of cities. Does this bring a question in mind is accelerated growth sustainable? The answer and solution to this is an adaption of the Smart City Concept. A smart city integrates all the available technology with the requirements of city development and builds infrastructure which can improve the quality of life of citizens. Smart cities are designed in a manner to use minimum resources with maximum efficiency in all areas of urban life. It provides smart solutions using smart technologies. Urban needs and technological advancements meet in smart cities. It manages cities more quickly and effectively by using AI, IT technologies, and robotic process automation. Intelligent transportation, intelligent energy, intelligent governance, intelligent security, intelligent healthcare are all central to the idea of smart cities. The emphasis of this essay is on smart transit as a component of smart cities. The movement of people and goods across several geographical boundaries has been significantly aided by the transportation sector. Globally, the majority of smart cities face logistical and transportation issues. Both the fast growing human population and the increase in the number of cars on the road are to blame for this. In order to design and run a sustainable transportation system, technology may be of great assistance. Robotic systems for real-time vehicle data collection, traffic management, and using mobility on demand in trip planning through a single user interface have emerged as cities struggle with traffic congestion. The transportation industry, which faces difficulties including traffic congestion, unanticipated delays, and routing issues that cause businesses to lose money, has successfully used robotic process automation. Robotic process automation provides reliable results and affordable solutions while reducing uncertainty in the decision-making process. It is very helpful in designing and running a successful transit system. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) systems for obtaining real-time data from vehicles, buses, and trucks for traffic management and using mobility on demand in trip planning through a single user interface have emerged as cities struggle with poor management and congestion. By examining different uses of robotic process automation, it is possible to evaluate precise prediction and detection models that are intended to forecast traffic volume, an appropriate route, traffic conditions, accurate information about timing, incidents, and which time and roadway for transport are suitable for running and mobility. The application of RPA in smart cities could be seen in Intelligent Transportation Systems’ Traffic Management, Public Transportation, Safety Management, Manufacturing, and Logistics. The research focuses on areas of concern for smart cities in the sphere of the transportation sector and related difficulties that may be solved via robotic process automation. The article emphasizes the challenges and solutions for making smart transportation more effective by using Intelligent Robotic Transportation Systems.

Providing convenient and comfortable transportation services for residents is an important part of urban construction, in which the intelligent transportation system (ITS) plays an important role. This study used the big data of urban public transportation in China and the evaluation of ITS in tourism e-commerce website to compare travelers’ perception of urban intelligent transportation with the objective effects of ITS and analyzed the factors that affect the perception bias of urban residents about ITS. The conclusions are as follows: (1) there are regional differences in travelers’ perception of ITS. The traveler’s evaluation of ITS in the cities of East China is best in China, followed by cities in the central and southwestern regions. (2) The perception bias of urban residents from ITS is generally affected by the density of road network and travel radius. The influencing factors of perception bias are obviously different between provincial capital cities and non-provincial capital cities. (3) The use of digital maps, navigation, and intelligent road conditions in the travel process can improve travelers’ evaluation of ITS.

Energy-efficient cooperative transmission for intelligent transportation systems

Traffic signal systems are employed to continuously manage traffic flow and promote a safe and smooth flow of transport. Traditional traffic signal system provides instructions to stop the vehicle, but if a person breaks the traffic network system, then this system cannot apprehend them, and there are chances of malpractice. Due to the continuous increase in traffic congestion, it is necessary to evaluate the current system and implement improvised technologies to provide an intelligent traffic signal system. Hence, to increase the security of traffic signals, reduce human errors, and avoid malpractices, an intelligent traffic signal system in which the Dijkstra algorithm is practised is introduced. This paper analyzes how to resist a malicious software assault on an intelligent traffic signal system that leads to collision avoidance and check signal latency while adjusting the system during the attack.

The rapid increase in population has increased the traffic density in urban areas. In current scenario, the major challenges faced by transportation systems are congestion, accidents and pollution control, etc. In recent decade’s development of Internet of Things (IoT) and communication technologies and connected devices have paved way for the involvement of information and communication in all aspects of smart city. IoT has transformed the transportation system by enhancing customer experience, safety, and operational performance. The smart or intelligent transportation system is possible that can provide in vehicle transportation and navigation system and assistance. Various new techniques are required to further enhance the intelligence and capabilities of applications. Cyber-physical system is an integral part of intelligent transportation system. CPS can help in gathering information in distributed manner over various diverse networks and analysing useful information to control operations of Intelligent Transportation system. This paper provides the description of the main elements of traffic management system in intelligent transportation systems. The focus is on the algorithms used to increase the efficiency of transport management in Intelligent Transportation System.

The paper analyzes the role of a complete architecture of intelligent transport systems (ITS) in ensuring their effectiveness. Many countries or groups of countries have ITS architecture with successful results of its application in practice. It is shown that the ITS architecture is constantly being updated and this is a characteristic trend. The paper proposes new approaches to the formation of the architecture of the integration platform within ITS. The scheme of organisation of data flows in different loops of software tools of the integration platform is developed. It is proposed to separate the control loops proper transport system data and identification data, which describe a partisipant of the ITS (digital object) with the expansion of capabilities in a cooperative ITS. It is possible to organise linked chains of identification of ITS digital objects, to participate in the formation of network structures for ITS work processes, describing the behaviour of digital objects during ITS processes and the behaviour of end users in accordance with the properties of network structures.
