Smart BRT: Requirements for the Implementation of a Smarter Transport System
摘要
This paper proposes an infrastructure planning for Smart Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), focusing on network infrastructure requirements, and explores the essential elements for implementing a Smart BRT system. We discuss how network technologies, especially 5G and Wi-Fi, ensure continuous connectivity between buses, stations, and control centers. Moreover, we highlight the roles of Network Slicing and Edge Computing in managing data traffic and processing information. The article emphasizes that beyond adopting advanced technologies, the successful implementation of a Smart BRT demands strategic planning, public policies, and collaboration among various stakeholders, pointing towards a future where Smart BRT emerges as a promising solution for smart and sustainable urban mobility. Finally, we intend to comprehend and propose the scenarios considering a smart BRT and, in the future, could evaluate the system regarding some metrics and smart city criteria.
