Abstract

Road safety, traffic congestion and efficiency of the transport sector are major global concerns. Improving this is the primary objective of intelligent transport systems (ITS). Having Internet of things (IoT) based solutions for ITS would enable motorists to obtain prior contextual guidance to reduce congestion and avoid potential hazards. IoT based solutions enabling collection of data from client nodes in a wireless sensor network in the transport environment implementing ITS goals is studied. The parameters to be monitored, type of sensors and communication related design parameters are identified to develop an effective IoT based solution. Road safety techniques studied include distance sensing, improper driving detection and accident prevention, weather related events and negligent driving detection and accident avoidance. Vehicle to vehicle communication and vehicle to infrastructure based channels are studied. Wireless communication technologies suitable for the channels are studied. Additional benefits and services that can be added to a system with the IoT approach are also studied. The effectiveness of such a system is studied with the use of validation framework. Multiple case studies of current and future IoT based ITS along with the challenges in the application is discussed.
