Title: Smart Connected Transport Systems: Towards Safe, Smooth, and Sustainable Mobility
Abstract: In recent years, transport systems have become increasingly connected, incorporating a wide range of digital applications that address complex challenges such as safety, traffic management, and environmental impact. Advances in network technologies and embedded systems allow various road entities—vehicles, pedestrians, and infrastructure—to exchange and share data, leading to more efficient and responsive transportation networks. These are known as Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS).
Emerging technologies like connected devices, smart sensors, and sophisticated data processing algorithms are driving the transformation of the transport sector. For example, V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communications enhance safety, improve traffic flow, reduce emissions, and offer better services to users.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a critical role in this transformation by enabling real-time data analysis and decision-making. AI can predict traffic patterns, optimize routes, and manage autonomous vehicle operations, improving efficiency and reducing congestion. Additionally, AI-driven systems enhance road safety by detecting and responding to potential hazards faster than human drivers. AI also facilitates predictive maintenance for vehicles and infrastructure, helping to reduce downtime and ensure smoother operations.
This presentation will provide an overview of the state-of-the-art in C-ITS and AI applications, highlighting their crucial role in enhancing mobility for smarter and more sustainable cities.
