Abstract

India is a developing country, and all its development schemes are not fully on the ground. In this scenario, the Indian Prime Minister launched the smart cities project in 2015. In this smart cities project, for creating a world-class city that possesses all facilities, the education sector, medical sector, hospitality sector, transportation sector, etc., are collaborating with the Indian government to bring change. Transport Telematics or Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are innovative tools based on the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) applied in the transport sector. These tools enable authorities, operators and travellers to make more informed and 'intelligent' decisions. In addition, these tools improve transport management and increase efficiency and safety for public bodies while reducing energy consumption and environmental impacts, thus contributing to more sustainable transport.

Keywords
