Internet of Things (IoT) in Intelligent Transportation Systems: Benefits and Challenges of Implementation

English (OpenAlex)

This study examines intelligent transportation systems and evaluates the applications of the Internet of Things technology in intelligent transportation systems. Moreover, this study discusses the many challenges and benefits of the functionalization of the Internet of Things (IoT) in intelligent transportation systems. Based on the increasing demands of transportation development, the concept of an intelligent transportation system and Internet of Things technology has received increasing attention both in the academic and transportation industries. The increase in traffic accidents in transportation and the lengthening of travel times have led to the emergence of the need for IoT. Developing a sustainable intelligent transportation system requires seamless integration and interoperability with emerging technologies such as connected IoT and vehicles. IoT in intelligent transportation systems decreases the number of vehicles in traffic and reduces harmful gas emissions. Intelligent transportation systems play a key role in increasing traffic safety, optimizing existing road capacity, and reducing delay times. In addition, it contributes to the country’s economy and the environment by reducing the inefficient use of time and energy. The IoT in intelligent transportation systems will be one of the most important competitive elements for all countries. This study sheds light on IoT technology in intelligent transportation systems and points out possible future research directions.
