Abstract

The paper is an extension of ‘Vision 2050 of the UAE in Intelligent Mobility’ (Mathew and Al Mansoori 2018). Information and communication technology has renovated several industries, from education to health care to government, and at present it is stage of makeover of transportation systems. While people consider enlightening a country’s transportation system merely means construction of new roads or repairing aging infrastructures, the future of transportation lies not only in concrete and steel, but also progressively more in using IT. IT empowers components within the transportation system—vehicles, roads, traffic lights, message signs, etc.—to become intelligent by implanting them with microchips and sensors and empowering them to interconnect with each other through wireless technologies. This paper evaluates intelligent transport system as a system of systems in the cyber-physical world. Moreover, this paper tries to identify the challenges and opportunities. The emphasis is on long-term challenges in SOSE research, and ideas for attacking these challenges.
