Overview of Trends in the Development of Internet of Things Technologies in Intelligent Transport Systems

Abstract

Currently, interest in the development of Internet of Things technologies is increasingly penetrating into the field of intelligent transport systems. The presented review is devoted to the current research situation, analysis and classification of publications on the topic in terms of scientific, temporal, geographical, etc. aspects in order to determine promising development trends. The Scopus Publication Database serves as the source for the selection. Analysis and selection were carried out both manually and with the help of special software for automatic keyword search. The sample can be considered representative: about 2,000 publications from more than 15,537 sources. The statistical characteristics of the study of the application of the Internet of Things technology in intelligent transport systems, obtained as a result of the analysis, were visualized in graphical form by diagrams of various types. Statistics were presented in accordance with various criteria: problem statement, scope, publication activity on different continents, countries, affiliation with authors, research and industrial organizations, publishers, citation index, distribution of temporary research activities in the period 2017-2022, etc. As a result of the analysis, the most relevant set of works was formed, on the basis of which classifications of promising areas of research and methods for the development of intelligent transport systems were developed.
