ICT In Transportation
History
In ancient, People also used domestic animals as a means of land
transportation, both for riding and for pulling wheeled wagons or carts. wagons
made of wood and iron, and pulled by a teams of horses or oxen. Sails were
used for goods shipping and immigrating to country to country. James Watt, a
Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer who was invented steam engine of
powering a wheel, it was a millstone of engine powered rail system.
ICT Involvement Of Transport Industry
Transport is moving fast industry in the world.That is really accompanying with
ICT. Highly intelligent applications in traffic management and control
systems,Tracking systems,GPS systems are included software activities on ICT.
And automotive is the major functioning matter in transportation industry and ICT
is the main aid of automotive production. Because this is accompanied by
globalization, increasing competition and changing markets, which manufacturing
companies need to cope with ICT. Technology plays a major role in
manufacturing these days. Advanced automation and ICT supports
manufacturing companies in there strive for increased efficiency and quality
optimization. Such ICT innovations are implemented in the transport industry, and
accordingly have a much smaller scope than the abovementioned extensibility
and often have a more local impact, sustainability is a major, but not the only
purpose. It is now increasingly recognized that the links between ICT use and
transport are inherently complex and far from a simple substitution model, and
that this use may increase as well as decrease sustainability of transport both for
passengers and freight.
ICT should be apparent that in order for the transport system to become
sustainable all that is necessary is for society to decrease the amount of
transport they consume. ICT can decrease fuel use by increasing the efficiency of
the movement that take place. This benefit can be accomplished through
improved signalization. Such signalization can be phased in some areas and
demand responsive in other areas, but the objective is to decrease the amount of
vehicle standing time while the motor is running. Under the former the traffic
signals are set so that signals in a series will change at a set frequency so that
the vehicle does not have to stop. In the latter case the signals will change in
response to a vehicle approaching a sensor in the roadways. Signalization both
phase and demand responsive are widely applied. In a more advanced mode,
signalization forms part of Vehicle Guiding Systems aimed at the creation of
continuous flow at certain sections of roads without stops. Geographic positioning
systems (GPS) in link with geographic information systems (GIS) offer the
possibility of decreasing the amount of time spent on search behavior by
motorists. Who is willing to input one’s origin and destination to the system, the
shortest route is suggest. In an alternative mode, an increasing number of motor
vehicle will undertake the way finding for you and minimize unnecessary travel
Nowadays new technology features are simply loaded in road vehicles. Bluetooth
phone configuration, exterior camera systems, parking sensors, electronic
parking assistance, key less entry, etc;
this technology make easy to handle vehicle and road safety. ICT in relation to
air transport, relates and day-to-day operations. ticket sales, route tasks, security
authorities and data system of airport everything handle through ICT.
