ICT application in Transportation and Communication

Introduction
Computers and computer technology have totally
changed the face of the world as we start the
twenty-first century. It would be hard to find one
corner of our society that has not been changed
dramatically by them. Computers and computer
technologies are more efficient, they save us
time, and they allow us to do things that we never
could have imagined. Just as computers are integrated throughout society, computers should
also be integrated into all spheres of our human endeavour. An understanding of the computer
as a tool requires an awareness of its component parts and an appreciation of what each part
may contribute as we attempt to use the computer as a tool to solve the problems we may
encounter. A user must be able to put data into a system, manipulate those data, and retrieve
information in an appropriate manner. As the technology for computers changes, so do the
people who use computers and the contexts in which they use them. No longer are building-
size computers used to crunch numbers for scientists and mathematicians. Now, more than
ever, computers are mobile, and information is accessible to many people. Adults and students
in a wide range of disciplines and with vastly different levels of expertise use computers for
thousands of professional, educational, and recreational applications.
ICT Applications in Transportation
 Provide access to travel Information
They allow tourists to create itineraries “on the run” by
providing access to websites, apps and social media sites that
offer travel information, booking services and user recommendations. ICTs will allow greater
sharing of recommendations from travelers with similar characteristics, motives and
preferences.
 Planning Tools
Ict covers digital infrastracture such as printers,
computers, laptops, tablets, etc., to software tools such as
Google Meet, Google Spreadsheets, etc.these tools aid / help in the planning and management
process of the project and can be used by either the project manager or the project team and
also putting into consideration the management and the stakeholders of the project.
 Opportunities to share transport modes
ICT-supported transportation services such as ride-
sharing result in better management of vehicles, routes,
and assets (higher load factor, more trips per vehicle, fewer vehicles for the same capacity,
etc.). Users can use an online platform to reserve an access time slot to the facility, improving
the efficiency of both the terminal and the vehicle assets. And through ict it shares your modes
of transport to the online services apps that ict supports.
 To work at a distance
Through the use of ict supported technologies, people often
works at a distance or online. Managers seek job opportunities in
the social media in which people grabs that opportunity even if it
is far or at a ditance. This ict will serve as a platform for people to seek jobs and to work at a
distance through the use of media.
 Reduce cost
Technology that boosts productivity ultimately reduces
costs while improving services. Sensor devices,
tracking software, and barcoding technology reduce the
need for human intervention and accentuate the role of information technology throughout the
chain. In addition, software using AI and ML can optimize delivery routes, lower shipping times,
and help logistics managers make decisions that lead to effective cost-reduction strategies.
 Faster Delivery Times
Robotics, and AI-enhanced tools that optimize routing
can speed up transportation and improve service levels
between segments. Sensors, tracking tools, and related
logistics technology services monitor vehicles and traffic to
provide faster routing options. Predictive analytics produced by AI and ML-powered software
help mitigate risks, automate maintenance and increase the lifespan of vehicles and
equipment.

ICT Applications in Communication

Our nation revolves around with so many technologies which greatly affect our ways of living
both positive and negative impact. ICT is a very broad that it really helps many of us in various
ways most especially in the area of communication. Here are some of the examples on how
ICT is applied in communication.
1. Social media platforms-
 This includes famous apps that requires an individual to contact each and everyone in
anyways they want.
 You can link together to create a more cohesive and unified experience which is a very big
part of communication.
 Improves communication between people Increase the speed of sharing
 Easy access to news and current affairs
 Allows users to connect with friends and family members
 It helps people to stay informed
 Improve communication skills
 Helps in sharing ideas
 Facilitates people in finding information
 Provides freedom of expression
2. School-
 Enhance modes of communication
 Direct classroom teaching
 Special facilities for pupils with disabilities
 To develop learning skills

Manuals, Brochures and the likes -
These are primary sources that are oftenly use to inform, instruct and could even entertain
people which is a form of communication. These examples are very helpful for us people to
communicate easily and correctly be informed to whatever we need in our daily lives. These
things are under Iof CT which connects us through communicating in a very effective manner
and that we can make use of our time proficiently.
