2RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Introduction
Internet of things can be easily defined as the ever growing networks of physical objects
which comes with a feature of IP address and internet connectivity (Anagnostopoulos, et al.,
2016). It also deals with communication which generally occurs between the objects and various
kinds of internet based devices and systems. Intelligent transport system can be defined as the
use of use of sensing, control and communication to various kinds ground based transport. It is
mainly done to increase the efficiency, safety and mobility. Automated and connected vehicle
are known to be most heavily researched technologies of automotive (Wen, 2014). Artificial
intelligence is well known term which is generally applied to various kinds of model based on
computer and intelligent behavior. Techniques based on AI has been developed and have been
applied on range of problems based on robotics, e-commerce and gaming. Robotics is not a
research field but also a field with artificial intelligence.
In the coming pages of the report a literature review has been done on internet of things,
intelligent transport system and connected autonomous devices and other topics like AI and
robotics (Likhachev, and Ferguson, 2017). Around twenty research paper has be analyzed for
the literature review on the above mentioned topics.
Literature review
Internet of things
Internet of thing is nothing but a concept which is totally depended on computing. It
mainly describes the idea or logic which allows various kinds of physical objects to be connected
to internet and can easily identify themselves to other kinds of devices (Michalski, Carbonell,
and Mitchell, 2013). This term is generally associated with RFID which is a well-known method

3RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
of communication which is inclusive of various kinds of sensor technologies and QR codes
(Wortmann and Flüchter, 2015). IOT is considered to be significant because by the help of this
an object can easily represent itself and can easily become greater by itself.
RFID stands for Radio frequency identification is nothing but the use of radio waves
which is used for reading and capturing information which is stored or attached in a tag of an
object. This technology allows tags to be read from a large distance and tag does not need to
direct in the line of sight of reader which is tracked (Michalski, Carbonell, and Mitchell, 2013).
RFID is generally consisting of two parts that is a tag or label and a reader. RFID tags generally
consist of transmitter and receiver which are embedded in it. RFID components on the various
tags consist of two parts that is microchip for storing and processing of information and an
antenna which is used for transmitting and receiving of various kinds of radio signals.
An electronic product code is nothing but a universal identifier which provides a
platform which can be easily used for unique identification of physical objects. The identity is
designed to be unique in nature for physical objects from all around the world (Weber and
Weber, 2013). In most of cases EPCs cases are embedded in RFID tags which can be used for
tracking of various kinds of objects which is inclusive of items of trade, documents and fixed
assets.
Intelligent transportation system
In the last few years’ intelligent transport system has a wide impact on the life of the
people with scope of improvement in the field of safety of transportation and mobility. It also
aims in improvising productivity with the help of advanced technologies. ITS consist of sixteen
type of technology based system (Klassner, 2012). This type of system is further divided into
intelligent infrastructure based system and intelligent vehicle based system.

4RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Based on various kinds of literature which are available there are three kinds of issues
which are encountered like lack of traffic management system, security and vehicle operation,
vehicle to vehicle co-ordination and adoption of new kinds of technologies. Traffic management
system is generally designed for large mass of traffic in an efficient way (Hu et al. 2012). Due to
presence of large number of vehicle the crowd increases and complexity of management system
also increases. Failure in management system may result in decrease in mobility, reduction of
consumption of fuel and pollution. Homeland security system and vehicle operation generally
deals with security and issues of traffic jam (Likhachev, and Ferguson, 2017). It generally helps
in tracking of vehicle and identification of vehicle on real time basis. Vehicle to vehicle co-
ordination and implementation of technology is considered to be an important aspect of ITS.
Vehicle to vehicle coordination generally focus on technologies which will control the collision
and also provide a coordination of trips which is planned by various kinds of drivers.
To overcome the various kinds of issues the solution has been provided like
implementation of properly programmed traffic management system which mainly aims in the
implementation of GPS technology by which congestion in a particular can be known and so
traffic can be easily diverted as per the needs (Xia, et al. 2012). The solution to second which is
discussed above is the implementation of wireless communication networks with various kinds
of vehicles. This will provide an environment which can be used for tracking of vehicle by
providing a unique identification to each vehicle so that they can be identified uniquely. The
solution to last problem is the implementation of wireless communication between various
vehicles by making use of Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and other kinds of sensors that will easily provide a
platform where vehicle can easily interact among themselves.

There are some advantages and disadvantages of intelligent transport system like when
this technology is used efficiently it can reduce traffic congestion, safety and security of roads
and lastly integration of various vehicles (Ge, 2014). There are some kinds of disadvantages like
failure of system may result in stoppage of vehicle movement, security issues related to data of
passenger and vehicle.
Connected Autonomous Vehicles
Mobility and safe of transportation systems are considered to be important topic which is
based on various kinds of interest in the domain of transport. Connected vehicle which is
previously known as IntelliDrive creates a platform where two-way communication where
communication between vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure is possible (Frazzoli,
Dahleh and Feron, 2012). Vehicle which are equipped with this type of communication devices
and infrastructure which are working under environment of control vehicle creates a platform
where it is possible to collect information of traffic like individual vehicle along with share
information with other kinds of equipped vehicle and managers which are associated with it.
In many cases it is seen cooperation between vehicle and infrastructure are totally based
on environment of connected vehicle. It also claims to provide benefits to environment of
connected vehicle (Xia, et al. 2012). A cooperative vehicle intersection control system provides a
platform where vehicle and intersection control can easily work for improvisation of traffic
operation when the various kinds of vehicle are considered to fully automated.
AI and Robotics
Artificial intelligence can be defined as the area of computer which mainly deals with
creation of intelligent machines which work or act like humans (Frazzoli, Dahleh and Feron,
2012). Some of the activities related to artificial intelligence are recognition of speech, learning,

6RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
planning and solving of various kinds of problems (Brooks, 2016). Research which are
associated with artificial intelligence are generally technical and specialized in nature It focuses
on certain number of areas like knowledge, reasoning, solving of problems, perception, planning,
ability for manipulation and moving of objects.
On the basis of AI (Artificial Intelligence) robots carry out a large number of function
like perception, reasoning, learning, decision making and lastly interaction based on human
robots.
Perception – It not only focus on taking of data from the environment but also
transformation of it into knowledge which is again used for interpretation and modification of
behavior (Frazzoli, Dahleh and Feron, 2012).
Reasoning- It focuses on having a proper conclusion from the data which is generated or
taken from the perception.
Learning- With the help of new kinds of experiences various kinds of robots needs to
have a proper idea regarding the perceiving and receiving of information which can be helpful
for obtaining various kinds of experiences (Hu et al. 2012).
Decision making: It is nothing but the ability for providing priority to data which can be
considered to be safe and effective in various domains of autonomous application (Klassner,
2012).
Conclusion
From the above discussion can be easily concluded that this report is all about literature
review on various kinds of topics related to IT and Research development. In the discussion
