Resumen
The rapid growth of urban centers, the emerging technologies
and the demand for new services by the increasing population
introduce a new challenge: going towards smart cities. This
concept has taken hold among the political, economic, social,
academic, environmental and civil sectors, and several initiatives
leads to the integration of infrastructure, technology and
services for citizens. In this context, road safety and traffic
efficiency became in key issues to be solved. New mechanisms
are needed in order to reduce accidents and its mortality rate,
also requirements such as the optimization of the urban mobility
and municipal planning, fuel consumption and greenhouse gases
emissions reduction and real-time systems that provide dynamic
and effective information to travelers. This article describes
two (2) approaches that contribute efficiently to the traffic
safety problem: video games used as serious games and vehicular
applications for intelligent transportation systems. Both approaches
aims to reduce collisions and required a highly technological
baseline to be implemented (e.g. telematic and computer systems,
artificial intelligence, image processing and 3D modeling).
