Summary

Recommendation ITU-T Y.4116 describes requirements for providing transportation safety services. The use cases and related service scenarios that are used to extract requirements for various IoT services and applications are also described in Recommendation ITU-T Y.4116.

Accidents and disasters caused by the transportation means affect many lives and properties. Transportation safety can be influenced by defective vehicles (e.g., cars, trains, ships), environmental status (e.g., wind, snow, low temperatures), disruption to the transportation infrastructure (e.g., bridges, tunnels, roads) and human error. Transportation safety services based on Internet of things (IoT) technologies can reduce the occurrence of accidents and disasters, and save the lives and damage to properties in the case of natural disaster.
