Developing a Solution for Intelligent Urban Transportation Management Using the Internet of Things

“…The delay in traffic information delivery, accidents, vehicles break down and are the major reasons of traffic congestion [19]. The electronic payment system contains specific software technologies including an automatic detection system for vehicles, which detects vehicles passing through with the help of hardware equipment [20][21]; an automated vehicle categorization system that identifies and categorizes the vehicle type; a transaction processing system that records the cross-axis transaction for the user, after identifying the vehicle [7]; and a system for identifying violations and deducting unpaid tolls [22]. Alongside this software technology, electronic toll payment systems make use of various hardware technologies for the paying of tolls on the highway including RFID Units, which respond to radio signals via a RFID chip installed in a unit or label on the windshield near the rear-view mirror of the vehicle [23]; video toll systems that use aerial cameras to identify vehicles at the toll [24]; a dedicated short-circuit communication system, including a transmitter and receiver, which deducts the desired amount from the inventory, based on credit cards [25]; and the visual protection surfaces (VPS) technique that stores vehicles' coordinates and sends transaction information to toll agents through the Global Mobile Communications System [7].…”
