Internet of Things within the Service Architecture of Intelligent Transport Systems

Abstract

Internet of Things plays one of the key roles in the innovative development of certain industries, including transportation and logistics. Intelligent transport systems help transport authorities with solving strategic challenges, such as insufficient infrastructure, affordability constraints, increasing emissions and growing customer needs. Applying IoT solutions to the intelligent transport systems allows automating the data gathering and processing functions, which means improving efficiency by forcing and standardizing processes. Authors of the paper discuss the role of IoT services in intelligent transport systems. A case of transitioning a situation center in St. Petersburg is presented. The results of the paper include defined set of situation center services and its enterprise architecture model. The SOA approach is used to underline the service nature of IoT solutions within the architecture of situation center.
