Proposed Framework of Smart Transportation in Pakistan

Abstract

This paper proposes a framework for a smart transportation system of Pakistan and discusses modern approaches as solutions to emerging threats and vulnerabilities of STS. In addition, STS changes the life of people and decreases the number of accidents, deaths, and traffic incidents. STS is saving the time of users and makes the urban city even smarter. The aim of STS is to accomplish more efficiency of traffic by decreasing traffic issues. It also provides the information about route traffic toward destination, local expediency, passing, vehicle dynamic or requested information, availability of seats to users, which decreases journey time of commuters and improves their security and ease. This paper discusses STS, its application and working mechanism, and the main parameters of the proposed framework of STS of Pakistan such as road condition monitoring, traffic management, municipal involvement, link data for society, accidental measures, and security, which are necessary while designing or implementing such systems.

IOT and IIOT Security for the South African Maritime and Freight Transport Sectors

“…The transport sector also is benefitting from the IoT and IIoT, but is also experiencing security challenges. The sector has seen increasing attention from malicious actors in cyberspace (Van Niekerk, 2017), and introducing the IoT and the IIoT may bring with it vulnerabilities, and further increase the attack surface against smart transportation systems (Awan, Memon, Shah & Pathan, 2020;Pretorius & Van Niekerk, 2020). Akpan, Bendiab, Shiaeles and Karamperidis (2022) highlight that limited research has been done on cybersecurity in the maritime sector despite the importance of the sector.…”
