A brief survey on cooperative intelligent transportation systems and applications

Abstract

Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) have emerged to provide a range of intel-ligent transport services that optimize traffic management, improve the travel experience of road users, increase road safety and security, and reduce the negative environmental impacts of transport. C-ITS, which aim to ensure that intelligent transport services function effec-tively and efficiently, communicate and exchange data with vehicles, road users, traffic con-trol centers, and road infrastructure as well. In this study, an overview of C-ITS related ac-tivities in the world and in Türkiye are discussed. C-ITS studies in literature and the objec-tives and benefits of C-ITS, its stakeholders, its relationship with ITS, its components and services are examined. After summarizing C-ITS studies in the world, policies and strategies in Europe, USA and Asian countries, and the current situation in Türkiye is provided. In addition, since there are limited studies on C-ITS in Türkiye, where ITS is still in its devel-opment stage, it is aimed to contribute to the literature by presenting recommendations for Türkiye to support the dissemination of C-ITS.
