“The term intelligent transportation systems (ITS) refers to information and communication technology applied to transport infrastructure and vehicles that improve transport outcomes.”

What is Smart Transport?

ITS provide a comprehensive real-time, data-driven capability for designing and implementing policies and operational strategies for traffic, public transport, and urban

planning. (Source : Frost & Sullivan)

Imagine if all the objects in the world had all the information that they needed to function optimally. Buildings would adjust themselves according to the temperature.

Ovens would cook things for exactly the right time. The handles of umbrellas would glow when it was about to rain.

It will link – apart from individual people – millions of devices, such as sensors,

that will enable us to manage our environment,

infrastructure, and our society as a whole much

more efficiently.

“as computers and cell phones continue to pervade our daily activities and as millions of networked sensors are being embedded in these devices (as well as in automobiles,

“smart” meters, and other machines), the amount of data available for analysis is exploding.”

A retailer embracing big data has the potential to increase

its operating margin by 60 per cent. We estimate that the

potential global value of smart routing in the form of time and

fuel savings will be about $500billion by 2020.

We have become a social networking culture, and this

behaviour is permeating every area of our lives. Even solo activities like using search

engines is becoming socialized, as is shopping, travel, education and even

work.

The important aspect of this is not how much data there is. The important point is what it could tell us. We need to move from “Big Data” to Smarter Data.

Cars that drive by themselves can aid the handicapped, reduce congestion and remove human error thus improving road safety. Driverless trucks, operating as road trains, can

gain up to 20% fuel savings due to reduced air drag.

140,000 miles.

It's a sad statement about the direction that western society is heading, but it's a reality nonetheless. Being able to use drive times to do work, spend time with family, or simply

relax is a clear potential benefit of having an autonomous car.

“The trend towards autonomy will become a juggernaut

fuelled by social computing and companies such as Google that

see the potential of the dashboard as the next expansion of the web”

These are the basic building blocks, that must be in place, in order for us to take advantage of any smart transport initiative being implemented throughout the world.

Identify a lead agency capable of embracing Smarter Transport initiatives, an agency who can…

Provide us with a clear vision and strategy

Establish and agree on common data standards and architecture

Collaborate and cooperate with a diverse range of stakeholders to ensure we successfully implement integrated smart transport solutions
