FIVE NEW CLUES ON HOW V2I TECHNOLOGY CAN CONTRIBUTE TO URBAN MOBILITY PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT

Abstract

In summary, V2I systems can optimize traffic flow by providing real-time information to vehicles, allowing automatic speed and route adjustments. In this sense, how is the union between the transport intelligence system (ITS) and sustainable development evident in the scientific literature, when it comes to Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I)? Therefore, the overall objective of the study was to identify the relationship between V2I and sustainability. The present exploratory and descriptive research was composed of a scoping review, carried out from the search for scientific articles in English in the Web of Science (WoS) scientific database. The results were analyzed and discussed using the Voyant Tools textual analysis tool. The results indicate five new clues regarding V2I and sustainability based on the scientific evidence that was organized into blocks: (1) Timeliness of the theme; (2) Interdisciplinary teams; (3) Inseparability between intelligence and sustainability; (4) Communication; (5) Technology and Humanities. These new tracks serve to guide both future studies and practices for the application of V2I as allies for the planning and management of urban mobility, as well as it is suggested to create an emerging agenda that guides researchers, planners, managers, and other stakeholders.
