Challenges and Opportunities of Brazil's Traffic Services

Brazil’s cities can eventually count with new solutions for traffic related services, once this theme’s concepts and technologies are being remarkably discussed worldwide. However, some important intelligent transportation features are not yet available in many important cities, such as real time traffic information and intelligent transportation to citizens, police, hospitals and fire departments. The traffic management can be understood as the one big challenge for the daily life. New solutions for attractive public transportation systems and navigation systems for sustainable and intelligent vehicles’ use will lead the world to the green transportation systems in the cities: smart applications designed for large events with impacts on urban mobility and the people’s life. The relevance of this theme to the transportation sector will aim to improve its performances through the development of ITS local application supporting a demand using the telematics tools and open platform to the future integration. The key point of this article is to show Brazil’s traffic services by exposing characteristics of Brazil’s cities, geo-information and transportation tracker players, telecommunication infrastructure and consumer’s perceptions. The goal is to predict the main market challenges and opportunities of Brazil’s traffic services in the next 7 years, opening a wide range of possibilities to discussion while great investments are being made until Brazil’s 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
