An Intelligent Transportation System: the Quito City Case Study

An intelligent transportation system (ITS) developed for Quito demonstrates accuracy comparable to commercial applications like Google Maps and Waze. This system leverages Sensor Web Enablement (SWE) and the MQTT protocol to provide real-time traffic notifications, route instructions, and performance metrics such as average speeds. The platform integrates heterogeneous sensors via HTTP, using MongoDB and GeoJSON for data management, while supporting adaptability through time interval and location range testing. This approach offers a scalable solution for managing heavy haul transporters entering Quito, addressing both quantifiable economic losses from traffic congestion and unquantified time costs.
