“…Due to their ubiquity, smart phones have also been used as cost-effective ways of collecting data about road conditions for infrastructure planning [39,53,57]. Besides smart phones, a combination of IoT and WSN has also been used to gather data for infrastructure planning and accident prevention, as conducted in [37,54,59,60]. Regarding security, most authors relied on the use of cameras.…”

“…Guidelines for utilising the data to ensure that pavement structures are able to support additional usage by autonomous vehicles were given. In [37], the authors considered the classic Vehicle Ad Hoc Network (VANET) and noted one of its major shortcomings, which is the slow detection of events on the road, possibly because of high mobility or the low number of road side units. To tackle this, they proposed a hybrid combination of VANET and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN).…”

Transport Inequalities and the Adoption of Intelligent Transportation Systems in Africa: A Research Landscape

et al. 2021

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), also known as Smart Transportation, is an infusion of information and communication technologies into transportation. ITS are a key component of smart cities, which have seen rapid global development in the last few decades. This has in turn translated to an increase in the deployment and adoption of ITS, particularly in countries in the Western world. Unfortunately, this is not the case with the developing countries of Africa and Asia, where dilapidated road infrastructure, poorly maintained public/mass transit vehicles and poverty are major concerns. However, the impact of Westernization and “imported technologies” cannot be overlooked; thus, despite the aforementioned challenges, ITS have found their way into African cities. In this paper, a systematic review was performed to determine the state of the art of ITS in Africa. The output of this systematic review was then fed into a hybrid multi-criteria model to analyse the research landscape, identify connections between published works and reveal research gaps and inequalities in African ITS. African peculiarities inhibiting the widespread implementation of ITS were then discussed, followed by the development of a conceptual architecture for an integrated ITS for African cities.
