It aims to improve travel safety and travel efficiency while bringing up a sustainable transportation system. The information collected from the system can support transportation mangers in making decision, facilitate rational utilization of resources, and provide inspiration for the future development. This smart transportation system helps travelers to reduce travel times, delay, and the stress of travel so that benefit the whole transportation sector to reduce energy consumption and emission (Adler & Blue, 1998).
6.1 Real-time Transport Service Information System

Travelers can get every detail on real-time interface through data processing and prediction, such as departure time, arrival time, stop and return, and even the available capacity of every bus.
Bike and electric vehicle information module can provide bike/vehicle status monitoring, bike/vehicle positioning, available bike/vehicle of different location, battery status, and any other information about shared bike and electric vehicle that travelers will concern. After well develop, the module can also be personalized for reservation, carpool mating, and parking solution.

Quick convenient access to parking spaces is critical to make public transportation competitive with private vehicle in the suburban areas. Smart parking use advanced technologies to help drivers reserve, locate and pay for parking can reduce the restriction of limited parking at transit stations. The smart parking system can provide real-time information via smart meters and low-power sensors to drivers about the number of available parking spaces in parking lots, the schedule and status of buses, and traffic information of the route. This transit-based smart parking system can increase public transit in mode share; reduce commute time; decrease drive alone and the total vehicle miles of travel (Rodier & Shaheen, 2010). The purpose to develop smart parking is to make more efficient use of existing facilities, improve transit accessibility, and help expand the transit
