Smart Cities are the intersection of multiple traffic flows for the transportation of people and freight. How to optimise the throughput of such flows, and keep the city safe and sustainable (for people and for the environment)?
Are there priority schemes, and where is the issue most intense? Is it at main artery level, or in the suburbian capillarity? Is congestion the sole problem to address?
Definitely congestion is major problem... centralised urbanization may be the key for sustainable development where, amenities are at short distances such as school ,college, hospitals, stations, markets etc less travel distance more use of bicycles and walking less will be the congestion and less pollution...step towards sustainable development.
If we accept the premise congestion is the major Smart City traffic challenge, mass transit, high occupancy, and low energy transportation should receive the highest priority. The above transportation options reduce greenhouse gas emissions hence less human risks. The optimal solution is avoidance!
Smart city monitors the conditions of all of infrastructures, transportation facilities, bridges, tunnels, rails, subways, airports, ports, communications, water, power. This helps to better optimize its resources, plan its preventive maintenance activities, and monitor security aspects while maximizing services to its citizens (Hall, R. E. 2000).
