Research Themes

According to the United Nations, 70% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050. This growth will be reflected in the demand for better services that should be adjusted to the collective and individual needs of the population. Governments and organizations are working on defining and implementing strategies that will enable them to respond to these challenges. The main challenges are related to transport and its management, considering transportation as a core issue in the economy, sustainability, and development of the regions. In this way, the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) play a key role in the response to these scenarios, being that they are the framework where the new hardware and software tools are integrated, allowing an efficient development of transportation systems management, attending to aspects such as: traffic management, communications between vehicles and infrastructures, and security, among others. Nevertheless, the concept of ITS evolves rapidly so it is necessary to understand its evolution. To do that, the current research develops a thematic analysis of ITS in literature, evaluating the intellectual structure and its evolution using SciMAT, quantifying the main bibliometric performance indicators, and identifying the main research areas, authors, journals, and countries. To this purpose, the publications related to ITS from 1993 to 2019 available in the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection were retrieved (7649 publications) and analyzed. Finally, one of the main results is the latest research themes map of ITS, considering its intellectual structure, evolution, and relationship. It assists in the definition and implementation of strategies, the identification of the scientific, academic, and business opportunities, and future research lines to consolidate the role of ITS in the new city models.

Rural Environments

Rural transportation systems have different features and needs than their urban counterparts. To address safety and efficiency concerns in rural environments, advanced rural transportation systems (ARTS) test and deploy appropriate intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies, many of which require communication support. However, wireless communication systems that currently serve urban areas often are not available or suitable in rural environments. Thus, a need exists to identify communication solutions that are likely to address successfully the needs and features of ARTS applications. Current and emerging wireless communications systems and technologies have been systematically assessed with respect to rural ITS applications. Wireless communication functions associated with rural ITS functions are first identified. Then requirements for applicable communication technologies in the rural environment are defined. Existing and emerging wireless communication systems and technologies are reviewed and evaluated by a systematic process of assessing rural ITS wireless solutions. Finally, recommendations for future research and operational tests are offered. The analysis results are expected to benefit rural ITS planners by identifying suitable wireless solutions for different rural contexts.

Work zone intelligent transportation systems (WZITSs) are promoted as a way to improve safety and reduce congestion at work zone locations where traditional traffic management centers do not exist. These systems usually integrate portable changeable message signs and speed sensors with a central control system that automatically determines appropriate messages that are based on current traffic conditions. Manufacturers of these systems claim that WZITSs can warn drivers of downstream congestion, alert drivers to slower speeds ahead, and suggest alternate routes on the basis of prevailing conditions. Transportation agencies are often asked to make decisions on the installation of a WZITS without the benefit of objective information on its expected performance. Relatively few operational tests of these systems have been performed, and the results are not always well documented or conclusive. Agencies need guidance to help them determine whether a WZITS system would improve safety and operations at a specific site. Applications of WZITSs are reviewed, and a series of guidelines for their deployment, based on lessons learned from past tests, is presented.

Real Time Traffic

Big data is a term that describes the large volume of data – both structured and unstructuredthat includes a business on a day-to-day basis including Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The emerging connected technologies created around ubiquitous digital devices have opened unique opportunities to enhance the performance of the ITS. However, magnitude and heterogeneity of the Big Data are beyond the capabilities of the existing approaches in ITS. Therefore, there is a crucial need to develop new tools and systems to keep pace with the Big Data proliferation. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive and flexible architecture based on distributed computing platform for real-time traffic control. The architecture is based on systematic analysis of the requirements of the existing traffic control systems. In it, the Big Data analytics engine informs the control logic. We have partly realized the architecture in a prototype platform that employs Kafka, a state-of-the-art Big Data tool for building data pipelines and stream processing. We demonstrate our approach on a case study of controlling the opening and closing of a freeway hard shoulder lane in microscopic traffic simulation.

Parking System

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) is a modern approach in transportation engineering and management strategies of computer science, electronics and communication as it aims to provide advanced services in various methods of transport and traffic management systems. This helps the users to make safe, smart and efficient transport networks. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) has a very wide application starting from traffic management to driver operation and vehicle control systems. Due to increase in vehicle production and world population leads to demand for more parking spaces and parking facilities. This problem is arising due to gap between demand and supply of parking spaces. The basic focus of this study is how to identify the exact location for parking the vehicle with the help of Arduino IDE software program. It will address the problems effectively associated with identification of parking slots and reaching parking places in urban areas. It informs and guide drivers to find limited number of parking spaces including their price in parking zones with in a shorter duration. Infrared sensors are also used to detect car parking slot occupancy. Smart Parking System (SPS) deals with identification of empty parking space, improper parking of vehicles and show the direction towards vacant parking slots. It also deals with digital payment facility. The ultimate focus of this is to identify the availability or non-availability of parking space.

The Future

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) improve traffic efficiency, traffic management, driver’s comfort, and safety. They consist of a broad range of components, including vehicles, sensors, Base Stations, Road Side Units, and road infrastructure (i.e., traffic signals). ITS of the near future will need to support multi-modal transportation schemes (including ground and aerial vehicles, so-called Urban Air Mobility). ITS will have to be integrated with Unmanned Aerial Systems Traffic Management (UTM) and rely on 3 Dimensional (3D) connectivity provided by Integrated Aerial-Terrestrial 6G networks to achieve this support. In other words, various types of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) will become integral parts of future ITS due to their mobility, autonomous operation, and communication/processing capabilities. This article presents our view on the future integration of ITS and UTM systems, enabling wireless technologies and open research questions. We also present how UAVs can be used to enhance the performance of the currently available ITS.

: The employment of wireless body sensors for different applications like healthcare and transportation systems has been a key research area. The hybrid systems that combine the wearable wireless sensor technology for safety applications in transportation infrastructure to save the life of the drivers and Vulnerable Road Users (VRU) like cyclists and pedestrians is another step towards the aim of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) to improve safety on roads. The systems in the literature involve the use of sensors fixed on or around the body of the driver and/or pedestrian, sensors embedded in smart devices like smartphone, smartwatch, and tablets etc. to alert the drivers and pedestrians in advance to prevent the probability of collision and prevent road accidents. The sensors are able to detect the behavior of the driver and identify whether he/she is fit for driving a vehicle. The presence of a distracted pedestrian is another cause of collision and the nearby vehicles should be informed about the same. In this paper, different systems in the literature that employ wireless body sensors to improve safety of the commute have been reviewed. The techniques reviewed in this paper focus on safety of the driver, VRU/pedestrian and both. The paper concludes by presenting key challenges and future research directions to prevent accidents by the integration of wireless body sensor network as a part of intelligent transportation system.
