Abstract

In the modern computational age, enormous amounts of information are being produced every single second. Once these piece of information in terms of data are properly fed, then this has the potential to expand the boundaries of computers. The current world is gradually transitioning to an automatic era, in which every entity and item are automated to carry out desired activities without requiring human participation. People’s lives are now easier and enjoyable due to this automation. Every aspect of computing, including those outside of it, has been automated. One such automation is smart mobility, which provides users with actual information about traffic patterns as well as advice for alternate routes in the event of traffic jams. Any business’s foundation is thought to be its transportation system. The automated intelligent transportation system (ITS), which has totally changed how products, people, and services are delivered, is crucial for achieving sustainability. This paper gives a general overview of the current ITS system, the idea of smart mobility, and current weaknesses in these systems. Their security worries and potential outcomes are also examined. Additionally, future ITS developments are discussed, as well as the significance and necessity of safeguarding these intelligent systems.
