Economic Analysis of Intelligent systems in Urban Transportation (Smart Cameras)

Abstract

One of the problems of modern societies in big cities is traffic. Heavy and problematic traffic in big cities arises from the growing number of vehicles and lack of adequate routes for moving vehicles. Traffic congestion problem in urban areas is mainly due to the structure or inappropriate city streets in the lack of capacity for existing cars. However, the fact of the matter is that, there are other factors such as equipment and traffic control systems, which are effective in traffic conditions. In their limit, they can make the desirable and favorable Physical conditions of traffic, inappropriate or intensify the existing traffic problems. Since, installation and use of each of these systems are costly; therefore, this research examined the economic analysis of intelligent transport systems, particularly smart cameras, which is one of the most useful systems in the transportation sector, especially urban transportation systems. This was done according to statistics, between 2011-2016 and statistics prepared by Traffic control companies, General Department of Research and Development Deputy of Naja Traffic Police, a comprehensive company of transport, central insurance of Iran, statistical Center of Iran, and students’ perceptions.
