How computer vision can create smart transportation systems
There are three attributes that every smart city—or any place of human settlement for that matter—must possess in abundance—livability, workability and sustainability. The frameworks and amenities which allow inhabitants to live comfortable, clean, healthy and safe lives boost the livability quotient of a smart city. Additionally, the communication and mobility networks that make it easier for inhabitants to commute to and from work, expand employment avenues and simplify business creation and growth improve the workability aspect of such cities. And lastly, the sustainability of a smart city is dependent on how well it uses technology to reduce energy consumption, pollution and accidents. As you can see, the role of transportation networks and technologies is massive in deciding how livable, workable and sustainable smart cities can be. Smart transportation holds the key to making vehicular networks in smart cities highly connected and safe for this purpose.
