Redes veiculares: um estudo das tecnologias emergentes na evolução do sistema de transporte rodoviário

Abstract

Road transport got popular in a fast way in Brazil in the last decades, mainly due to the increase in the purchasing power of the Brazilian and the tax incentive. The benefits of the road transport in the improvement of the urban mobility, comfort, practicality and quality of life are remarkable, however, over the years, the harm has outweighed the benefits, and problems such as traffic jam, air pollution and insecurity have been intensifying, to the point of demanding changes. The search for an intelligent transport system, focused on efficiency, security and sustainability has led to discussions about a vehicular network that would allow communication between its main agents: vehicles, infrastructure and pedestrian. In the context of this problem, this work collects statistical data from the road transport system in the Brazil and synthesizes the main concepts related to the vehicular networks. Finally, it done an analysis of the emerging ICT technologies and the automotive sector and their applicability in the evolution of the road transport system.
