Transport

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have considerable importance for transport systems, as they provide access to travel information, planning tools, opportunities to share transport modes, to work at-a-distance, compare transport mode cost, make payment, improve safety and health, and to communicate travel patterns. Over the past decade, there has been massive growth in the availability of transportation ICT, in particular, smartphone applications. There is considerable evidence that ICTs have profoundly changed the ways in which transport systems are perceived and used, and mobilities performed, with far-reaching implications for transport mode choices and transport demand. Against this background, the paper seeks to conceptualize ICT with relevance for transport systems, and to discuss the implications for the environmental sustainability of the transport sector. Findings suggest that while some ICT innovations foster and support sustainable transport choices, others raise new and significant barriers to more sustainable transport futures.

Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) 

 This system which uses the CCTV (Closed Circuit TV) is helpful in monitoring the road traffic, accidents and illegal activities and take appropriate actions accordingly. 

Traffic Light Control System 

These automated lights are positioned at road junctions. These lights are helpful in minimizing accidents by controlling the vehicle traffic and pedestrians.

Parking identification placard 

This is an entrance pass which is stuck on the windshield of a vehicle. When the vehicle comes close to the gate of the parking space, the sensors read the placard and only open the gates if the vehicle is already pre-registered. This system also helps to avoid building up of traffic at the gates due to its quick processing ability
