INTEGRATION OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES WITH SMART CITY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR ENHANCED PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

The future of public transportation is taking shape, and autonomous vehicles (AVs) are at the forefront. By integrating AVs with smart city infrastructure, we can create a transportation system that's not only efficient and safe but also sustainable. Our research explores the potential of AVs in smart cities, leveraging advanced technologies like IoT sensors, real-time data analytics, and AI-powered traffic management to optimize routes, reduce congestion, and enhance the passenger experience. We'll examine the technical, social, and economic implications of AV integration, including intelligent transportation systems, smart traffic signals, and public transit hubs. Our goal is to develop a comprehensive framework that ensures seamless integration, prioritizing safety, efficiency, and sustainability. The findings of this research will contribute to the development of future smart cities, enhancing the quality of life for citizens and promoting environmentally friendly transportation solutions. By shaping the future of public transportation, we can create a better, more sustainable world for generations to come.
