Abstract The relevance of the research topic is defined by the global level of significance of the problem of creation and safe operation of driverless transport on public roads. The research objective was to develop a mathematical model of the problem that allows forming a scientifically grounded strategy for driverless transport progress. The Zwicky Morphological Box method was used as a research method, which allowed building a structured set of intelligent transport system variants. Variables corresponding to the hard-surfaced road types, the level of informational support in the form of digital road models and the level of control tasks with increasing complexity were used as structural variables. A complex of tasks required to control traffic or driving in closed territories, on highways, suburban motorways passing through human settlements, urban streets, and yards has been defined. The control task complexes of each consecutive level include the task complexes of all the previous levels, and the digital road models of a higher level contain the digital models of all the previous levels. The analysis of the obtained results allowed building a trajectory of progressive development of the driverless vehicle focus area within the field of control task levels, road types, and their digital models.

India accounts for the highest road accidents and traffic congestion globally. The necessity for a canny vehicle framework is of great importance. VANET, abbreviated as Vehicular ad hoc networks is a network created in an ad hoc manner where different vehicles can exchange useful information among each other with dedicated servers ensuring safe travel. Security in VANET has always been a challenge in implementing a real time intelligent transport system. VANET is a type of mobile ad-hoc, to give correspondences among close by vehicles and among vehicles and close by fixed hardware. Vehicular ad hoc networks are highly dynamic in nature and suffer from frequent path breakage due to the high velocity of the moving vehicle. Hence, there are many security challenges and different types of attacks that makes VANETs less secure. Therefore, providing secure dedicated short-range communication (DSRC) easefully with any loss of data or malicious nodes has been a major research area. The major concern being addressed in the paper is to provide secure communication and save lives in road accidents. The role of security is high and messages in DSRC send warning messages to other vehicles. If attackers change these messages, then accidents become a part of the network and users’ lives can be at risk. Different classes of attacks include monitoring attack, social attack, timing attack, application attack and network attack to name a few. Advanced encryption standard is a symmetric block encryption algorithm. There is no evidence to crack this algorithm till date. This paper will provide a detailed overview of VANET architecture, types of attacks on VANET, AES algorithm and its salient features and how this algorithm could be utilized to make intelligent transport systems secure.

Greenhouse gas emitted by the transport sector around the world is a serious issue of concern. To minimize such emission the automobile engineers have been working relentlessly. Researchers have been trying hard to switch fossil fuel to alternative fuels and attempting to various driving strategies to make traffic flow smooth and to reduce traffic congestion and emission of greenhouse gas. Automobile emits a massive amount of pollutants such as Carbon Monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), carbon dioxide (CO2), particulate matter (PM), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). Intelligent transport system (ITS) technologies can be implemented to lower pollutant emissions and reduction of fuel consumption. This paper investigates the ITS techniques and technologies for the reduction of fuel consumption and minimization of the exhaust pollutant. It highlights the environmental impact of the ITS application to provide the state-of-art green solution. A case study also advocates that ITS technology reduces fuel consumption and exhaust pollutant in the urban environment.

The active development of unmanned vehicles, in control systems of which most of the currently created artificial intelligence technologies are used, from machine vision systems to decision-making in multi-criteria control tasks, has led to the emergence of such vehicles on public roads and, in fact, has become an objective reality of ours. life. In such a situation, the person driving needs additional information to drive safely. Currently, the road infrastructure is dynamically developing, forming into a developed distributed telecommunication system with accompanying services. And now it is increasingly associated with the concept of "intelligent transport system" (ITS), to which are connected automotive equipment subsystems, wireless communication subsystems, roadside equipment subsystems and a global navigation satellite system module. Unmanned vehicles, which are integrated into the road environment, form a single telecommunication system for controlling the movement of vehicles with it. Wireless technologies and digital models of road infrastructure are important components of such a system. The information technology concept, which implies the integration of computing resources into physical entities, in particular autonomous robots and unmanned vehicles, is called the concept of cyber-physical systems. The computational component in it is distributed throughout the system. The study of the possibility of constructing digital models of roads and road infrastructure with their subsequent intrasystem transfer between interacting objects is undoubtedly of considerable interest. At the research stage of the implementation of such a technology, it is important to analyze the possibility of building and deploying modern ITS, highlight the main problems associated with the visualization of digital ITS models, and propose ways to solve the tasks. As part of the study, an overview of modern wireless technologies and communication standards with the prospect of their application in the infrastructure of the road environment is given, foreign experience of deploying such systems, their features and limitations, is considered. The functional structure of the intelligent transport system is proposed. The results of modeling the road network (creating a digital model of roads) and the practical implementation of software for compiling local maps are presented. The developed software took into account the shortcomings of specialized products on the market, and also implemented the possibility of converting a digital model of roads into the MAPEM format. After preprocessing MAPEM files, they are placed on the server of the intelligent transport system, from where they are then sent via RSU. RSUs start broadcasting this information, and it goes to the unmanned vehicle, which, in turn, processes the received file and waits for a request to move. Upon receipt of such a request, it builds the trajectory of the path and starts moving. The techniques obtained as a result of the research were implemented and applied at the test site.

AbstractThe implementation of Intelligent Transport System (ITS) technology is expected to significantly improve road safety and traffic efficiency. One of the key components of ITS is precise vehicle positioning. Positioning with decimetre to sub-metre accuracy is a fundamental capability for self-driving, and other automated applications. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Precise Point Positioning (PPP) is an attractive positioning approach for ITS due to its relatively low-cost and flexibility. However, GNSS PPP is vulnerable to several effects, especially those caused by the challenging urban environments, where the ITS technology is most likely needed. To meet the high integrity requirements of ITS applications, it is necessary to carefully analyse potential faults and failures of PPP and to study relevant integrity monitoring methods. In this paper an overview of vulnerabilities of GNSS PPP is presented to identify the faults that need to be monitored when developing PPP integrity monitoring methods. These vulnerabilities are categorised into different groups according to their impact and error sources to assist integrity fault analysis, which is demonstrated with Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) methods. The main vulnerabilities are discussed in detail, along with their causes, characteristics, impact on users, and related mitigation methods. In addition, research on integrity monitoring methods used for accounting for the threats and faults in PPP for ITS applications is briefly reviewed. Both system-level (network-end) and user-level (user-end) integrity monitoring approaches for PPP are briefly discussed, focusing on their development and the challenges in urban scenarios. Some open issues, on which further efforts should focus, are also identified.

Future smart cities that will exploit the forthcoming fifth-generation (5G) network will strongly contribute to the development of intelligent transport systems, which will be able to effectively manage changing infrastructural conditions, and to timely exchange crucial information with different stakeholders to improve sustainability and safety. To this end, smart wireless sensing nodes can be effectively exploited. Consequently, the objectives of this study are: 1) to describe the setup and the main potentialities of a wireless sensing system designed for monitoring the environmental and structural conditions on road pavements; 2) to provide an overview about the capability of the 5G network to enable the data exchange required by the designed system. Each sensing node includes different sensors, and is able to send the data gathered from the resource-constrained sensors to a web server used for data processing. Vibrational-, acoustical-, and environmental-related data are used to control traffic pollution, road availability and structural status. The paper describes the in-lab tests carried out on asphalt concrete samples to: i) calibrate the sensors; ii) define structural and environmental thresholds. Results show that the tested node is able to provide reliable data that can be used for the above-described purposes.

The progress of work on the creation of an "intelligent transport system" in Kazakhstan, the development and modernization of the road industry will be reported. The economic and social effectiveness of several transport corridors and new projects were analyzed. Transport corridors of foreign countries, methods of providing logistics services were presented. In his address, the head of state paid special attention to the issues of digitalization of all spheres of life of the population, including the transport sector of Kazakhstan. Currently, the Ministry of investment and development of the Republic of Kazakhstan is working on the creation of an "intelligent transport system" within the framework of the state program «Digital Kazakhstan» (ITS). ITS goal is to systematically integrate transport infrastructure, transport devices and users with modern information and communication technologies aimed at improving the safety and efficiency of the transport process. The concept will include 11 components in ITS. One of them is a special automated measuring instruments (UAVs), which are installed in the main automobile corridors. This device is designed to measure moving vehicles without contact and eliminate unjustified stops. This year, it is planned to put into operation 10 units of RSPP, and by 2020 it is planned to increase their number to 46 units. It is also planned to introduce a traffic management system that will inform drivers about the situation on the roads, a system for forecasting and analyzing climatic conditions, which is carried out through a network of weather stations along the roads, a network of video monitoring and special video cameras for detecting traffic violations, toll road systems that cover the cost of maintenance of the national road network, etc. They will be introduced in stages until 2021. The implementation of this project will reduce road deaths, increase the volume of transit traffic and the speed of logistics services, fully cover the main highways with measuring instruments and create favorable conditions for drivers on the roads. Such systems are already operating in South Korea, Japan, Australia, Europe and the United States.
