Transport Inequalities and the Adoption of Intelligent Transportation Systems in Africa: A Research Landscape

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), also known as Smart Transportation, is an infusion of information and communication technologies into transportation. ITS are a key component smart cities, which have seen rapid global development in the last few decades. This has turn translated to increase deployment adoption ITS, particularly countries Western world. Unfortunately, this not case with developing Africa Asia, where dilapidated road infrastructure, poorly maintained public/mass transit vehicles poverty major concerns. However, impact Westernization “imported technologies” cannot be overlooked; thus, despite aforementioned challenges, found their way African cities. In paper, systematic review was performed determine state art Africa. The output then fed hybrid multi-criteria model analyse research landscape, identify connections between published works reveal gaps inequalities ITS. peculiarities inhibiting widespread implementation were discussed, followed by conceptual architecture for integrated
