Developing Sustainable e-Business Models for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) are technologies for efficient traffic management, e.g. accident and congestion prevention, reduced emissions, traveler information etc. Despite the potential benefits identified by previous research, there is a remarkable lack of a robust e-Business case for ITS. Although the necessary technology exists and the internet provides opportunities for more c...

Towards Evolutionary Design of Intelligent Transportation Systems

Intelligent transportation systems consisting of hundreds of individual vehicles which sense, decide, and act in the same-shared environment can be designed and controlled in two fundamentally different ways, using a centralized or distributed approach. The centralized approach implies an external system taking over the control of the vehicles and coordinating them, for instance by forming plat...
