Enhancing Traffic Management in Urban Areas through UAV- Assisted Intelligent Mobile Systems

Abstract

In the era of urbanization and technological innovation, the integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) into urban air traffic management is crucial for addressing the complexities of traffic in densely populated areas. This paper navigates through existing literature, providing insights into the integration of UAVs in modern urban transportation and surveillance. Emphasizing the significance of UAVs in traffic management, the research objectives focus on exploring integration challenges and proposing solutions. The literature review covers simulation in traffic management and the role of UAVs, along with intelligent mobile systems. The methodology outlines a research approach incorporating data collection, analysis, and experimentation. This investigates how UAV-assisted traffic surveillance contributes to real- time monitoring, laying the foundation for effective traffic management. Intelligent mobile systems play a crucial rolein enabling data-driven decision-making. The discussion highlights the synergy between UAV-assisted surveillance and intelligent mobile systems, supported by real-world case studies. Challenges and future directions are discussed, envisioning a future where UAV-assisted intelligent mobile systems transform urban traffic management, addressing challenges and adopting innovative technologies for smarter, safer, and more efficient traffic systems.
