In the past few years, tools have been developed based on different communication means with the purpose of achieving a safer, more efficient, and environment-friendly operation of vehicular flows in the transport systems. Some of the early means generally involved a very strong human participation. In the course of time and with the rapid progress made in electronics, telecommunications, and computer systems, such processes have become automated until generating a series of technologies that currently are incorporated into the single generic term of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). This research has multiple purposes. First, some characteristics of road freight transport in Mexico are presented. Then, with such characteristics under consideration, the ITS technologies with the largest potential for application to that transportation type are described. A vision of future implementation is shown. Finally, some conclusions are presented.

Los sistemas de transporte público son eje central del desarrollo de las ciudades ya que garantizan la movilidad y el acceso de sus habitantes a diferentes actividades productivas y sociales. No obstante, los largos recorridos de los buses, y la congestión de tráfico resultante, reducen la calidad de vida y la productividad económica de una región, al tiempo que complican los procesos asociados al control de las rutas y los eventos producidos durante el desplazamiento de los vehículos. En este entorno, este artículo presenta los aspectos generales del proyecto (S.M.A.R.t)1 que busca diseñar e implementar una plataforma tecnológica integral para el monitoreo, gestión de flota y recaudo para las empresas de transporte público de Medellín y del Valle de Aburrá (Colombia), bajo la visión de un Sistema Inteligente de Transporte. De acuerdo con lo anterior, en la primera sección se presentará una introducción al contexto de los sistemas inteligentes de transporte, para posteriormente abordar los procesos de diseño de alto nivel y terminar con el esquema de la solución concebida. Finalmente se presentará un panorama del trabajo futuro y las conclusiones obtenidas hasta el momento. Palabras clave.- SIT, Sistemas inteligentes de transporte, Control de ruta, Sistema a bordo. ABSTRACTPublic transportation systems are the main support of urban development as they ensure passenger mobility and access to jobs and social activities. However, the length of bus routes and the resulting traffic congestion can reduce the quality of life and economic productivity of a region, while at the same time complicating the processes associated with the control of the routes and the operation of the vehicles. In this context, the present article introduces the S.M.A.R.t1 project, which will design and implement an integrated technology platform for monitoring, fleet management and fare collection in the public transportation companies of the city of Medellin and the Aburrá valley (Colombia) under the concept of Intelligent Transportation System. The first section introduces the context of Intelligent  Transport  Systems, then high-level design processes are addressed, and the concept of the proposed solution is presented. Finally, an overview of future work and the conclusions obtained so far are presented. Keywords.- Intelligent transportation systems, ITS, Route control, On board system.

Transportation Sector

Transportation or transport sector is a legal source to take or carry things from one place to another. With the passage of time, transportation faces many issues like high accidents rate, traffic congestion, traffic & carbon emissions air pollution, etc. In some cases, transportation sector faced alleviating the brutality of crash related injuries in accident. Due to such complexity, researchers integrate virtual technologies with transportation which known as Intelligent Transport System. Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) provide transport solutions by utilizing state-of-the-art information and telecommunications technologies. It is an integrated system of people, roads and vehicles, designed to significantly contribute to improve road safety, efficiency and comfort, as well as environmental conservation through realization of smoother traffic by relieving traffic congestion. This paper aims to elucidate various aspects of ITS - it's need, the various user applications, technologies utilized and concludes by emphasizing the case study of IBM ITS.

Subject. The article considers functioning and development of process flows of transportation and logistics system of a smart city. Objectives. The study identifies factors and dependencies of the quality of human life on the organization and management of stream processes. Methods. I perform a comparative analysis of previous studies, taking into account the uniquely designed results, and the econometric analysis. Results. The study builds multiple regression models that are associated with stream processes, highlights interdependent indicators of temporary traffic and pollution that affect the indicator of life quality. However, the identified congestion indicator enables to predict the time spent in traffic jams per year for all participants of stream processes. Conclusions. The introduction of modern intelligent transportation systems as a component of the transportation and logistics system of a smart city does not fully solve the problems of congestion in cities at the current rate of urbanization and motorization. A viable solution is to develop cooperative and autonomous intelligent transportation systems based on the logistics approach. This will ensure control over congestion, the reduction of which will contribute to improving the life quality of people in urban areas.
