After 1860’s the railway systems has started to be used in urban transportation in the world. However, especially after the 1950’s, automobile usage has been increased quickly. Thus the dense of transportation has started to move from railway systems to the ones with rubber tire vehicles in Istanbul. Traffic density in urban transportation has started to be experienced since 1950 with the incre...

Many millions of urban dwellers are excluded from formal systems of water and sanitation service delivery. Without access to piped water and acceptable sanitation services, households and individuals are forced to use limited supplies of water, often of poor quality, from unreliable sources and usually at a high cost. Safe sanitation and the means to practice hygienic behaviours are often entir...

Expanding public transportation is not enough to solve the urban sprawl problem resulted from an auto-orientation perspective. So urban planning experts paid attention to integrated and coordinated planning of urban development with public transportation, which reached to sustainable urban development. The purpose of this study is to review the researches in transit-oriented development (TOD) a...

In this paper, we overview the current status of research in the field of collaborative sensing for urban transportation. We first classify the different types of sensors that can be relevant in collaborative urban sensing and then we analyze three different topics: parking spaces, traffic, and trajectories. We discuss issues regarding the sensing and data sharing approaches as well as relevant...

Large cities in Asia have unique transport problems. Traffic management alone is limited in solving the problems of urban transportation, and introduction of guided transit systems separate from ground-level transport is essential in solving these problems. This article describes some of the recent measures, including finance resources, taken to solve Asian urban transportation problems. The ad...

Cloud computing is a style of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet. To resolve the challenges caused by the increasing transportation issues, we present a novel multi-layered vehicular data cloud platform by using cloud computing and IoT technologies. Two innovative vehicular data cloud services such as an intelligen...
