Abstract :

Objective: The rapid growth of urbanization and the automotive industry in recent years has significantly increased the demand for transportation in both work and daily life. This rise in transportation demand has led to growing issues such as urban traffic congestion, energy consumption, and environmental pollution. Consequently, the immense social, economic, and environmental pressures have intensified the challenges faced in urban transportation development.

Methods:  This study examines the various problems related to urban transportation, including environmental pollution, reduced energy resources, increased material and human losses due to accidents, challenges in managing and supervising urban transportation, and the rising demand during peak hours, particularly in densely populated cities worldwide. The research explores the role of smart cities in addressing these challenges by improving transportation flow and ensuring safe and efficient mobility.

Results: Urban transportation systems, particularly in peak hours, have become a significant concern for global cities, with rapid growth in demand for efficient transportation services. In response, the development of smart cities provides a framework for overcoming these challenges by facilitating smooth transportation for both people and goods, reducing congestion, and offering real-time data and up-to-date information to transportation users.

Conclusion: Transportation, as a critical link in every aspect of life, is recognized as an essential infrastructure for industrial development and improving social welfare. The concept of smart cities is central to solving urban transportation challenges, offering solutions such as managing traffic congestion, providing real-time information, and promoting environmentally friendly methods of transportation.
