Abstract

With the development of Cloud technologies we finally have the tools and the solutions needed to start planning and executing an efficient urban transportation. The paper presents concepts and ideas toward Smart City intelligent transportation and traffic, namely agent-based traffic management systems and vehicular Cloud computing. It discusses their main characteristics, architecture and provides examples where such technologies are already implemented. Lastly, it outlines some challenges that arise from the application of Cloud computing and the change of the city into a Smart City.
