A systematic literature review on intelligent transportation systems

Smart cities are developing rapidly with an understanding that they transform their inhabitants into digital communities and make their lives easier in several aspects. Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) which is the most important part of smart cities, are becoming an indispensable part of everyone's life. ITS applications are widely accepted and used in many countries today. Usage is not limited to traffic congestion control and information. In addition, road safety and efficient infrastructure use are among the main objectives of implementing ITS. Due to unlimited opportunities it offers, ITS has become a multidisciplinary field of study and has received a lot of attention from the scientific community. In this respect, there are important opportunities for industrial engineers in the area of ITS applications, especially in terms of optimization and simulation. Additionally, industrial engineers focus on system design perspective of ITS design. The aim of this study is systemic examination of the studies related to ITS and to show the general picture to the interested researchers.
