The internet of things in transport management in South Africa

To support sustainable transport systems in South Africa, this paper proposes the adoption of internet of things (IoT) technologies. This research extracted information on the activities undertaken by South Africa´s public transport agencies from the Department of Transport website, and for each of these activities identified a number of IoT applications and services that can be of value through literature sampling. The activities identified fall under the subdomains of road network management, road safety management, aviation management, road traffic management, maritime services management, cargo transport management, cross-border transport management and passenger rail management.
