Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to systematically review evidence of existing ITS research that could be effective in mitigating current problems in City Logistics. We systematically searched the English and French languages literature indexed in Scopus (2010 to July 2018), including: Elsevier, ACM, Springer, and IEEE. We also added studies identified by experts up to July 2018. The study selection was descriptive and comparative studies and systematic reviews of Intelligent Transportation Systems. Therefore, we independently extracted information on ITS subsystem capabilities & development and technologies used. 56 studies met the inclusion criteria, some were in the research and development stage, while others have seen some measure of application or deployment. Most studies addressed Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS), Advanced Public Transportation Systems (APTS) and Advanced Traveller Information Systems (ATIS). Data on efficiency measure, technologies used were mixed. Empirical cost data were limited. This study has a number of implications. Practitioners and researchers will gain a greater understanding of how ITS are carried out in developed countries and the type of challenges that have been addressed. Furthermore, the results provide insights about the research path, current technologies and future research directions in the field of ITS.
