Abstract

The idea of a smart city, which converts urban areas into digital communities and improves the quality of life for its residents in every respect, necessitates incorporating an intelligent transport system. The ease with which city residents can get around is a significant issue. This is true whether the trip is for leisure, necessity, or any combination. By implementing an intelligent transportation system (ITS), the city can become even more progressive with the help of its residents. The purpose of an ITS is to reduce traffic congestion and maximise travel time. It’s useful since it gives riders additional insight into travel time, stops along the way, and seating availability ahead of time. This makes commuters’ trips more pleasant and safer while reducing travel time. Glasgow, Scotland, is a prime instance of this type of metropolis. City dwellers who take the bus to work each day can use the Intelligent Transport System to find out when their bus will arrive at their stop, how full it is, how long it will take to get where they need to go, where it is now, where it will be next, and how many other people will be riding with them.
