Abstract:

From the beginning of civilizations, transportation has been one of the most important requirements for humans. Over the years, it has been evolved to modern transportation systems such as road, train, and air transportation. With the development of technology, intelligent transportation systems have been enriched with Information and Communications Technology (ICT). Nowadays, smart city concept that integrates ICT and Internet-of-Things (IoT) have been appeared to optimize the efficiency of city operations and services. Recently, several IoT-based smart applications for smart cities have been developed. Among these applications, smart services for transportation are highly required to ease the issues especially regarding to road safety. In this context, this study presents a literature review that elaborates the existing IoT-based smart transportation systems especially in terms of road safety. In this way, the current state of IoT-based smart transportation systems for safer roads are provided. Then, the current research efforts undertaken by the authors to provide an IoT-based safe smart traffic system are briefly introduced. It is emphasized that road safety can be improved using Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication technologies via the cloud (Infrastructure-to-Cloud – I2C). Therefore, it is believed that this study offers useful information to researchers for developing safer roads in smart cities.

I. Introduction

The concept of smart city merges Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and Internet-of-Things (IoT) in order to optimize the efficiency of city services and allows to connect them to citizens. It enables an interaction between the officials and community along with the city infrastructure to monitor the cities for different purposes. With the help of IoT, indeed, the quality and interactivity of city services is expected to be enriched. Moreover, the cost and resource consumption could be reduced. It is also highly possible to ease the relation between the governments and the citizens. Thus, the IoT-based smart cities integrate the city services and infrastructures through the novel communication technologies [1].
