Transport Inequalities and the Adoption of Intelligent Transportation Systems in Africa: A Research Landscape

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), also known as Smart Transportation, is an infusion of information and communication technologies into transportation. ITS are a key component of smart cities, which have seen rapid global development in the last few decades. This has in turn translated to an...
