Study and comparison of transportation system architectures for smart city

IoT refers to a technology which makes every possible device internet ready whose advance use will develop machine-to-machine relationship instead of user-to-machine relationship. These IoT devices includes everything from cell phone, coffee maker, TV, refrigerator, watch etc. A smart city is one that uses Information and communication Technology (ICT) to enhance its standard of living, way of working and sustainability. Internet of Things provide support and ease in the development of smart city. A smart city contains various domains such as waste management, transportation system etc. This paper discusses about existing smart transportation and smart city architectures and compare them with respect to various parameters. Comparison can help in building robust and generic software architecture for transportation domain of smart city.
