Abstract

This paper explores the technological aspects of implementing Internet of Things (IoT) networks in intelligent transport systems (ITS) within urban infrastructure. A conceptual model of IoT architecture is presented, highlighting key components, cybersecurity solutions and directions for practical application. The main objective of the study is to design a conceptual IoT network model for ITS that takes into account real–time data collection, transmission, and processing capabilities, along with the integration of cybersecurity mechanisms such as encryption methods, device authentication, and event monitoring. The object of the study is the automation of processes within urban transport infrastructure using IoT technologies. Rapid urbanization and the growing number of vehicles increase pressure on transport systems, demanding advanced solutions to enhance traffic efficiency, safety, and environmental sustainability. IoT–based intelligent transport systems enable automated interaction between vehicles, infrastructure, and users by employing sensors, video surveillance cameras, data transmission gateways, and cloud platforms. The paper presents a case study of modeling IoT architecture for a real intersection in Kyiv using LoRaWAN technology, the MQTT protocol, server side processing, and the AWS cloud platform. The stages of model development, optimal placement of IoT devices, and data processing architecture are described in detail. Simulation results using Cisco Packet Tracer demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed architecture and its readiness for real–world integration and scaling within urban environments.
