International Journal of Computer Applications (0975 – 8887) Volume 177 – No. 33, January 2020 17 A Theoretical Model and Business Solutions for Improving 5G+ Transportation Services Vijey Thayananthan Department of Computer Science King Abdulaziz University Jeddah, KSA Abdullah Algarni Department of Computer Science King Abdulaziz University Jeddah, KSA ABSTRACT Business models for improving the transportation system, which includes the services of transport facilities, predict the future of users’ requirements according to the emerging technologies. All predictions raise the number of questions that support to increase business challenges such as management of 5G transportation services. Management issues cover technical challenges considered to improve the customer relationship and cost for utilizing the service mentioned in the 5G-transportation system. During the traveling or driving time, driverless vehicles face many challenges managed through the services without proper management. Security and energy management are examples of current problems. These problems involve the technical challenges of 5G, and other emerging technologies considered for developing the business model in this paper. As an appropriate method, an efficient model of 5G transportation is introduced as a business model for analyzing the challenges mentioned above. In this model, few challenges need more discussions and analysis because users’ and customers’ requirements are evolving with the future emerging technologies. Further, this model will encourage the users, including service providers, to make necessary decisions for enhancing the management facilities. General Terms In this paper, the theoretical model of the transportation service as a general term is considered. Throughout this research, transportation issues based on 5G are considered to improve the 5G solutions of transportation facilities Keywords Business Model; 5G based infrastructure; Automation Transportation; Transportation Modelling 1. INTRODUCTION An autonomous transportation system introduces new features and services for improving facilities. Transportation services evolving with emerging technologies change the business processes. Although many issues focused on transportation services have efficient business solutions, few services such as security and safety considered in the driverless and autonomous vehicles do not have enough solutions for improving the technical and business management. 5G technology is a new generation technology of cellular mobile communications. It comes after 2G, 3G, 4G systems. It has many distinguishing features such as high data rate, energy saving, cost reduction, low communication latency, and massive device connections. These features can change the communication history for the next years and make a direct and positive effect on the transportation movement and spreads in general [1]. Without concerning the different transportation types, many related issues could be merged. The population and living costs have stress on the transportations and the used technologies to integrate them and produce suitable services for passengers and customers. To improve the services in the existing transportation system, service providers did not have reliable communication facilities. Although the previous generation of telecommunication supported to improve the essential services, 5G and 5G+ provide many features to enhance the business solutions, vehicular communication, and user-friendly facilities in the transportation services. The motivation of this research is to enhance transportation services with minimum cost, which depends on the ways of using energy and features. Although energy and features of new applications are trading off, business solutions based on 5G+ systems not only increase the profits but also improve the energy efficiency (EE) for maintaining the lifetime of the new vehicles. 5G transportation industry will include wide rages of sectors that can take the benefits from a next-generation wireless network from automated cars, smart buses, and smart trains to other logistic services connected to the private and public transportations. Since the 5G is a quite new technology in the transportation solutions for all the people and companies, studying the business model based on 5G transportation is essential. Without this study and analysis, many financial dilemmas can occur, and the organizations may lose their financial assets and then can impact on the whole transportation industry since the companies and organizations need to adjust to the requirements of different markets and to face the competitive and dynamic business environment [2]. Currently, the market for 5G technology faces security and safety issues as business competition.
