The advancements in smart city technologies have shown great potential toease traffic congestion. Although, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) wereinitiated in the late 1960s and early 1970s with the aim of developing ITS to enhancethe safety and security of both the vehicle as well as citizens in all kinds of trafficconditions, unprecedented surge in population density, narrow roads, and loanablevehicles exacerbate the traffic conditions, pollution, and accidents in major cities.Smart Transportation System (STS) is the only solution for these conditions along withachieving sustainability in smart cities and smart villages. Numerous integratedtechnologies developed under ITS to resolve traffic-related issues are based on sensors,Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things, Cloud Computing and Big-Data, etc.This piece of knowledge only focused on the AI techniques. This chapter focuses onthe scope of ITS in solving the challenges faced by cities not only in terms of mobilityand security, smart mobility methodologies, sustainable sources of energy for smarttransportation and smart traffic signals, but also to solve the traffic congestion and roadaccidents, which occur due to human-related factors (loss of control, limited sightdistance, and tiredness, etc.), vehicle-related factors (brake failure, wear amp; tear of partsetc.) and traffic management related factors (improper design, deficient signalingsystem, sluggish maintenance process, etc.). This chapter covers a case study of Indiancities to reduce traffic congestion, avoid accidents and manage the transportationsystems in a much better way by using STS technologies.
