Smart transportation in China and the United States

In this paper, the authors look at several developments with the potential to turn current systems into smart transportation networks. These include intelligent infrastructure, traffic management improvements, human-machine interactive systems, vehicle safety, and security advancements. Focusing on China and the United States, the authors review these innovations, examine the policy, legal, and regulatory issues associated with them, and close by making recommendations regarding ways to improve smart traffic operations. The authors argue that taking action on infrastructure investment, network construction, regulations and standards, privacy protection, cybersecurity, navigational systems, cloud and big data solutions, and international cooperation will yield tremendous benefits for the transportation sector.
