This development led to the new challenges for the traffic management, including the mitigation of road congestion, accidents, and air pollution. Over the last decade, researchers have been focusing their efforts on leveraging the recent advances in sensing, communications, and dynamic adaptive technologies to prepare the deployed road traffic management systems (TMS) for resolving these important challenges in future smart cities. However, the existing solutions may still be insufficient to construct a reliable and secure TMS that is capable of handling the anticipated influx of the population and vehicles in urban areas. Along these lines, this work systematically outlines a perspective on a novel modular environment for traffic modeling, which allows to recreate the examined road networks in their full resemblance. Our developed solution is targeted to incorporate the progress in the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, where low-power, embedded devices integrate as part of a next-generation TMS. To mimic the real traffic conditions, we recreated and evaluated a practical traffic scenario built after a complex road intersection within a large European city.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s16111872","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,8]],"date-time":"2016-11-08T09:58:26Z","timestamp":1478599106000},"page":"1872","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":73,"title":["A Harmonized Perspective on Transportation Management in Smart Cities: The Novel IoT-Driven Environment for Road Traffic Modeling"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Pavel","family":"Masek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Telecommunications, Brno University of Technology, 61600 Brno, Czech Republic"}]},{"given":"Jan","family":"Masek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Structural Mechanics, Brno University of Technology, 60200 Brno, Czech Republic"}]},{"given":"Petr","family":"Frantik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Structural Mechanics, Brno University of Technology, 60200 Brno, Czech Republic"}]},{"given":"Radek","family":"Fujdiak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Telecommunications, Brno University of Technology, 61600 Brno, Czech Republic"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3412-1639","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aleksandr","family":"Ometov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics and Communications Engineering, Tampere University of Technology, 33720 Tampere, Finland"}]},{"given":"Jiri","family":"Hosek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Telecommunications, Brno University of Technology, 61600 Brno, Czech Republic"}]},{"given":"Sergey","family":"Andreev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics and Communications Engineering, Tampere University of Technology, 33720 Tampere, Finland"}]},{"given":"Petr","family":"Mlynek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Telecommunications, Brno University of Technology, 61600 Brno, Czech Republic"}]},{"given":"Jiri","family":"Misurec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Telecommunications, Brno University of Technology, 61600 Brno, Czech Republic"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.1080\/10630732.2014.942092","article-title":"Smart cities: Definitions, dimensions, performance, and initiatives","volume":"22","author":"Albino","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
