How can you optimize transportation engineering in smart cities?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Transportation engineering is a key component of smart cities, which aim to use data and technology to improve the efficiency, sustainability, and livability of urban areas. However, optimizing transportation engineering in smart cities is not a simple task, as it involves multiple challenges and opportunities. In this article, you will learn about some of the main aspects of transportation engineering in smart cities, such as:

1 Data collection and analysis

One of the essential elements of transportation engineering in smart cities is the ability to collect and analyze large amounts of data from various sources, such as sensors, cameras, vehicles, and mobile devices. This data can provide valuable insights into the patterns, preferences, and behaviors of travelers, as well as the performance, condition, and demand of the transportation network. Data analysis can help identify problems, solutions, and opportunities for improvement, as well as support decision-making and planning.

Indeed, the more information you have the better the quality, the more important it is to achieve an efficient establishment of a modern, agile and safe public transport system. It is here where the Internet of Things plays a relevant role considering a solid, reliable and secure communication infrastructure that allows the transfer of this large amount of information, in addition to an automatic review equipment and traffic algorithms that will allow to synchronize and optimize public transport in a better way.

2 Traffic management and control

Another important aspect of transportation engineering in smart cities is the design and implementation of effective traffic management and control systems, which can enhance the safety, reliability, and efficiency of the transportation network. Traffic management and control systems can use data and technology to monitor, regulate, and optimize the flow of traffic, as well as to communicate with travelers and other stakeholders. For example, adaptive traffic signals can adjust to real-time traffic conditions, intelligent transportation systems can provide information and guidance to drivers and pedestrians, and connected and autonomous vehicles can interact with each other and the infrastructure.

Smart cities require modern traffic management systems with the aid of internet of things and intelligent transport systems should be the primary focus of transport management systems.

As I mentioned before, the transportation management system requires multimodal protocol issues that obviously assist in real time the decision making of the operators. It is also necessary to have a security system of different levels to guarantee the efficient transfer of information, only by maintaining a solid and secure structure is it possible to ensure that the systems are basically reliable without harming the people who will use them.

3 Transportation modes and services

A third aspect of transportation engineering in smart cities is the integration and promotion of diverse and sustainable transportation modes and services, which can offer more choices, convenience, and accessibility to travelers, as well as reduce the environmental and social impacts of transportation. Transportation modes and services in smart cities can include public transit, active transportation, shared mobility, electric vehicles, and mobility as a service. These modes and services can be coordinated and complemented by data and technology, as well as by policies and incentives that encourage their use.

There are many cities in Latin America where public transportation is really chaotic, characterized by a real disorder and lack of control and regulation. My opinion in this case would be to immediately incorporate new policies that regulate and give priority to the use of renewable energies discarding definitively all those buses that emit polluting gases that exceed the allowed limits and also exceed the years becoming totally obsolescent public transport vehicles. From this perspective, it is necessary to create new policies in which the conscience tries to improve the public service.

4 Transportation infrastructure and design

A fourth aspect of transportation engineering in smart cities is the planning and development of transportation infrastructure and design, which can support the functionality, aesthetics, and resilience of the transportation network. Transportation infrastructure and design in smart cities can incorporate data and technology into the physical elements of the network, such as roads, bridges, sidewalks, bike lanes, parking facilities, and transit stations. These elements can be designed to be smart, adaptable, and responsive to the needs and preferences of travelers and the environment. For example, smart streetlights can adjust to the lighting conditions, smart pavements can monitor the pavement condition, and smart parking systems can optimize the parking availability.

As the chaos that prevails in Latin American cities in relation to public transportation, there is an additional phenomenon and that is the fact that the number of motorcycles is increasing exponentially as well as vehicles that have been discarded as scrap in Northern countries enter Latin American countries probably already with inefficient engines that emit gases outside the norm. This quantity of vehicles and the addition of motorcycles, which seems simple but is a very serious phenomenon, is generating traffic jams never seen before in the last 10 years, therefore, if nothing is done in the next 10 years, the chaos that is coming is something unprecedented, generating inefficiencies in the cities.

5 Stakeholder engagement and collaboration

A fifth aspect of transportation engineering in smart cities is the involvement and cooperation of various stakeholders, such as government agencies, private sector, academia, civil society, and travelers. Stakeholder engagement and collaboration can facilitate the exchange of information, ideas, and feedback, as well as the alignment of goals, strategies, and actions. Stakeholder engagement and collaboration can also foster trust, transparency, and accountability, as well as innovation and creativity.

It is widely acknowledged that stakeholder engagement and collaboration are essential in developing smart cities. But care must be taken so that the program does not stagnate at this stage as there may be a lot of competing interests.

6 Challenges and opportunities

A final aspect of transportation engineering in smart cities is the recognition and response to the challenges and opportunities that arise from the complex and dynamic nature of transportation in urban areas. Some of the challenges include the cost, complexity, and security of data and technology, the regulation and integration of new and emerging transportation modes and services, the social and ethical implications of transportation decisions, and the uncertainty and variability of transportation demand and supply. Some of the opportunities include the potential to improve the quality of life, the environment, and the economy of urban areas, the availability and accessibility of data and technology, the diversity and flexibility of transportation modes and services, and the innovation and creativity of transportation solutions.

One of the great opportunities that I personally see that can help and alleviate in some way the vehicular chaos is the transfer of people to their workplaces, that is, making a more intensive use of remote work, trying to make it useful to use less public transport, thus reducing not only travel times but also the cost of fuel consumption, which is increasingly skyrocketing and will allow a decrease in the effect of greenhouse gases.

Transport services, modes and infrastructure must be built with the end user in mind. A functional transport system in a smart city must employ data to enhance the user experience of the commuter. The deployment of technology should be abled to enhance mobility efficiency and not one that would alter the lives of populace.
