Intelligent transportation systems : a ubiquitous perspective
Lúcio S. Passos, Rosaldo J. F. Rossetti · 2009
Abstract. The concept of intelligent transportation has been devised about a couple of decades ago and still presents many challenging issues to be addressed so as it can be implemented to its full potential. In this paper we emphasise characteristics such as being user-centred and service oriented to support an important facet of future urban transportation: being ubiquitous. Instead of seeing ubiquitous transportation as a completely different paradigm, we discuss on the characteristics that actually turn ITS inherently ubiquitous.
