FEASIBILITY STUDY OF INCORPORATING AN INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM FOR AN URBAN TRANSPORTATION NETWORK

This paper aims to explore the feasibility of a “Smart Navigation system” within the transportation network of a smart city and discusses a wide range of modern technologies available for the successful implementation and execution of such a navigation system. The study envisages the various aspects of controlling an ever-increasing vehicle population thereby eliminating the choked and chaotic effect of harmful emissions on the urban streets. The study proposes to incorporate smart driving technologies, smart traffic control(s) and inversion mech- anisms using smart traffic density sensors, Radio Frequency Devices (RFD). The study also discusses providing smart parking solutions as a part of overall enhanced infrastructure for smart traffic and parking management solutions. To conclude, the study outlines the benefits accrued by effective incorporation of smart navigation systems, which includes enhanced quality of life and economic development of its inhabitants.
