Abstract

This chapter provides a comprehensive analysis of net-zero ITSs and highlights the crucial role of 6G networks in ITS technology, mitigating carbon emissions. The findings underscore the significance of integrating advanced technological solutions to address the pressing global challenge of climate change. First, net-zero ITSs have emerged as a promising approach to curbing carbon emissions in the transportation sector. By leveraging intelligent systems, data analytics, and connectivity, these systems enable efficient traffic management, optimized routing, and enhanced V2V communication. The research demonstrates that the implementation of such systems can lead to substantial reductions in fuel consumption, congestion, and overall environmental impact. Furthermore, the advent of 6G technology is poised to revolutionize the transportation industry and further enhance the effectiveness of net-zero ITSs. The ultra-high-speed, low-latency, and massive connectivity capabilities of 6G enable seamless integration of various components, such as autonomous vehicles, smart infrastructure, and real-time data analytics. This integration unlocks new possibilities for optimizing transportation networks, reducing energy consumption, and improving overall sustainability. Importantly, the research reveals that the successful implementation of net-zero ITSs and 6G technology requires collaborative efforts from stakeholders across multiple domains. Policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, and the public must collaborate to establish supportive regulations, invest in infrastructure development, foster innovation, and promote public awareness. Looking ahead, this chapter provides valuable insights into the future prospects of net-zero ITSs and 6G technology. In conclusion, the convergence of net-zero ITSs and 6G technology presents an unparalleled opportunity to address carbon emissions in the transportation sector. By leveraging advanced connectivity, data analytics, and collaborative efforts, we can pave the way towards a more sustainable and environmentally conscious future.
