CTS: The new generation intelligent transportation system

Abstract

This article provides a new generation intelligent transportation system on the basis of cloud computing, aiming at existing problems and challenges of present intelligent transportation system. It describes architecture of a cloud transportation system from viewpoints of technology and presents how to build the cloud transportation system from perspectives of management. Because our intelligent transportation industry is in the primary phase, and cloud-computing application as the resource deliver mode is just in the research phase in transportation field, this article also takes some measures to promote the application of cloud computing in the transportation field. © 2011 IEEE.
