Abstract
Increasingly, the technologies that are used in telecommunications contribute to improve intelligent transport systems. These technologies are systems that offer several concepts like vehicular ad hoc networks, which allow reduction of traffic accidents, traffic congestion and consequently increase road safety and the comfort of road users. Developing countries in general and those of sub-Sahara in particular do not have telecommunication infrastructures, even road infrastructures for the implementation of an intelligent transport system. Moreover, with the serious increase in vehicles in these countries, the problem of traffic regulation arise especially in the inter-urban context. One of the consequences of this problem is the high rate of road traffic accidents. Several models of traffic regulation as well as modeling systems of urban transport networks are presented in the literature. Unfortunately these models are intended for developed countries. The aim of this paper is to present, firstly the problems of the implementation of intelligent transport systems in developing countries like sub-Saharan Africa. Secondly, we present a survey of a road traffic model and an urban transport network models. Finally, we propose solutions, which provide methodologies for the modeling of a system and monitor traffic on inter-urban road transport networks in developing countries.
