Abstract
Conventional surface transportation resources, such as vehicles, roads, terminals, and other transportation infrastructure, are aging. Many countries are falling behind in installing new transportation infrastructure in their cities. Thanks to the recent developments in technology and the global connectivity enabled by The Internet, transportation systems are undergoing a profound transformation that will change the way humans and products move around cities. That is, smarter, more autonomous, and safer vehicles that communicate with other vehicles and with the city buildings, traffic signs, and other infrastructure will be the golden standard. It is expected that those cities which use such technology will increase their mobility, boost their economic productivity and reduce their levels of pollution. This new approach to transportation is called Intelligent Transportation Systems, and is the topic of this chapter.
