Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are the most prominent enabling network technology for Intelligent Transportation Systems(ITS).VANETs provides many new exciting applications and opportunities albeit transportation safety and facilitation applications are their core drivers. Security of vehicular networks remains the most significant concern in VANETs deployment – because it is mandatory to a...

Transportation is the driving force of any country. Today we are facing an explosion in the number of motor vehicles that affects our daily routines. Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) aim to provide efficient tools that solve traffic problems. Predicting route congestions during different day periods can help drivers choose better routes for their trips. In this paper we propose “HITS” a...

The paper is focusing on transportation system architecture for intelligent management, especially in sea transport and transportation technology. Moreover control models of large-scale distributed enterprises systems and transport active knowledge base management model have been presented.

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) apply advanced technology to the nation’s transportation needs. ITS encompasses all areas of transportation, including highway, air, water, and bus and rail transit applications and technologies; both within a single system, and within integrated, intermodal systems. New technologies from such fields as information processing, electronics, control system...

In this paper, we propose a framework to develop an M2M-based (machine-to-machine) proactive driver assistance system. Unlike traditional approaches, we take the benefits of M2M in intelligent transportation system (ITS): 1) expansion of sensor coverage, 2) increase of time allowed to react, and 3) mediation of bidding for right of way, to help driver avoiding potential traffic accidents. To de...

Today’s transportation systems have been increasingly utilizing a wide range of sensors to monitor, control, and analyze many parts of transportation system components. The sensor usage has been further accelerated by the US DOT’s emphasis on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies in recent years. On the other hand, while the usage of sensors has increased, archiving (or saving) ...

this paper addresses a multi-criteria decision based methodology to develop a road network cost function for route finding analysis in a geographic information system (gis). over the years, several studies relating to route planning process in gis and intelligent transportation systems (its) have been conducted, most of which rely on the use of one-dimensional variables like distance or time as...

It is estimated that more than half of the world population lives in cities according to (UN forecasts, 2014), so cities are vital. Cities, as we all know facing with complex challenges – for smart cities the outdated traditional planning of transportation, environmental contamination, finance management and security observations are not adequate. The developing framework for smart-city require...
