Abstract
This study presents applications of artificial intelligence for development of
sustainable transport systems in smart cities in India. There is huge gap
between the demand and supply of the public transport in most of the urban
cities in India. Due to rapid urbanization India has realize the importance of
developing smart cities to improve the quality of life of people and to
captivate foreign investment to build superior quality of infrastructure in
India. The majority of the Indian cities are facing the problem of congestion,
safety, inadequate public transport facilities, inappropriate information,
inadequate parking spaces and environmental pollution. Sustainable
transport system can eliminate these problems by providing safer, faster,
comfortable, efficient and environment friendly system and can help in
development of smart cities by the implementation of intelligent transport
system. Hence, there is urgent need to develop intelligent transport system in
Indian Cities which can play a key role in development of sustainable
transport system. Therefore, the main requirement is to adopt artificial
intelligence for development of smart cities in India. The main objective of
this article is to present the major application of intelligent transport system
for the development of sustainable transport system in smart cities. This
study can be used in the implementation of intelligent transport system for
development of sustainable transport system in smart cities in India.

Introduction
Public transport system is a significant
component of transport system and it plays a
key role in development of sustainable
transport system. The root cause of all the
problems of transport system in today's world
are excessive rate of urbanization and
commuters dependency on private vehicles
rather than public transport.
