Transportation plays an important role to fuel its economic growth and development. Utilization
of technologies for development of transport infrastructure will shape the cities in capable of
movement connecting people from one place to another. Management of mobility and road
safety are the key to sustainable transportation. Everything around us is becoming increasingly
