Save Efficient Internet For Smart Transportation

Lately, the number of vehicles and the miles they are driven have increased at a faster pace [2]. Traffic congestion has been a big problem and is likely to climb further in the near future. In 2018 alone, 1.35 million people died due to road accidents [3]. So, an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) has been a necessity to provide timely safety and other traffic information to the vehicles. With the rapid advancement in vehicular technologies, communication technologies, smart sensors, ML and others, it is believed that smart autonomous vehicles will solve the existing transportation problems. Major contributors to the transportation problems like congestion and accidents are human errors and ambiguity. IOV capable of sensing the environment and communicating with neighbouring vehicles and infrastructures to exchange every bit of required information for safe navigation, detecting hurdles, optimising routes and others on-the-fly, offers a true potential to realise ITS for effective traffic management and road safety [4]. ION has been an active area of research to envision as a solution to achieve an intelligent transport system (ITS) for the past few decades.
