Impact of ICTs in Transport Sector
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have significantly transformed the transport sector, revolutionizing how we move people and goods. Let’s explore their impact:
- For Air transport, computers are used at the airports to take record of all the flights and passengers for each and every place that will fly off or land at that Airport.
- Used for security check-Ups at the Airports, e.g. to check whether one is smuggling in or out weapons for war, drugs, etc.
- While inside the Aeroplane, computers are used to give the pilot sense of direction by indicating how high he is flying, the temperatures, the pressure and weather conditions of the space in which he is flying. They also show some physical features which could obstruct the planes movements.
- In the cars, there is speedometer, which determines the speed at which the car is moving.
- Computer related devices especially satellite is use for tracking the lost cars
- In a ship, computers are used to guide the captain movements while he sails. By showing the landscape of the sea bed, the captain is able to draw the right direction and bearing in which he should sail the sheep
- Computers and Smartphones are for booking Flights and Rides online For example Safe Boda and car.
- Traffic Police uses computer-controlled traffic lights to control traffic flow and speed on

- Google Maps provides real-time navigation, helping drivers choose the fastest routes. Users can also input their destination and receive turn-by-turn directions for driving, walking, cycling, or public transit hence helping individuals and transport companys like Safe Boda, Uber
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have revolutionized the transport sector, reshaping how we move, connect, and manage transportation systems.
