Smart transportation networks are essential components of modern cities,
and vehicle spatial monitoring plays a significant role in improving their efficiency and
safety. This book chapter covers the purpose, approach, findings, contribution,
repercussions, restrictions, and usefulness of smart transportation systems for vehicle
geographical tracking. The goal of the chapter is to assess current research on smart
transportation systems and vehicle location monitoring, as well as to examine realworld examples and case studies. The results suggest that smart transportation systems
with vehicle location tracking may greatly boost transportation system efficiency,
reduce traffic congestion, and improve safety by monitoring vehicle movements in
real-time and identifying possible problems. Moreover, intelligent transportation
systems may give essential data to city planners and lawmakers in order to improve
transportation infrastructure and develop more sustainable and equitable transportation
networks. While these systems have significant potential benefits for cities, such as
reducing traffic congestion, increasing transportation efficiency, and increasing safety,
there are some drawbacks to consider, such as privacy concerns about the collection
and use of personal data, as well as the possibility of technological failures and
cybersecurity risks. The importance of this chapter originates from its thorough
examination of smart transportation systems for vehicle location tracking, study of
real-world examples and case studies, and focus on the possible advantages and limits
of these systems for modern cities. It is a fantastic resource for legislators, city
planners, transportation engineers, and academics who want to learn more about the
potential of smart transportation systems to improve the efficiency and safety of
modern metropolitan transportation systems.
