Abstract
Public transportation
is essential for both residents and tourists in urban places worldwide. All
modes of public transportation, including buses, subways, and trains, exist to
enhance the lives of its passengers. Numerous advantages contributing to the desirability
of urban living, including reduced housing expenses and enhanced public health,
can be attributed to the presence of dependable public transportation. By
promoting innovation and the utilization of existing smart technologies, the
transportation sector may derive advantages from new services. In the 21st
century, it is astonishing that the Kerala State Road Transportation
Corporation has not evolved into a modernized transportation system. This
project attempts to guide the Kerala State Road Transportation Corporation in
transitioning to smart technology vehicles. The transportation system in Kerala
is significantly inadequate. The transportation organization in Kerala
continues to employ conventional ways to maintain service operations. No smart technologies
have been executed to date. The implementation of smart technologies in
transportation systems yields numerous and substantial benefits. One of the
most esteemed attributes of any modern city is its efficient, practical, and
reliable transit and mobility network. Intelligent transportation solutions
enable individuals to travel more efficiently for both professional and
recreational purposes, resulting in less time spent in traffic and an expanded
array of interconnected travel options. In addition to alleviating congestion
and enhancing air quality in and around "smart cities," smart
mobility solutions help augment the living conditions of metropolitan areas and
elevate the overall quality of life. Genuine smart transportation networks are
inclusive and enable low-income and excluded populations to access employment
opportunities that would otherwise be unavailable to them. Sustainability is a
vital issue for all organizations, encompassing governments, local authorities,
and businesses. There are possibilities for clean and intelligent
transportation. Improved air quality, reduced time loss, and diminished energy
use are all advantages of alleviated traffic congestion. Moreover,
interconnected bicycle and pedestrian pathways incentivize users to reduce car
usage, so fostering a more sustainable environment. Intelligent transportation
alternatives may facilitate the attraction of businesses to a city or region.
Businesses consider the transportation system while determining their location
or relocation, as they recognize their employees will rely on it. Consequently,
residents gain access to novel economic opportunities, rendering the city a
more attractive location to reside.
