Abstract

In this paper, we extend the study of the intelligent transportation system (ITS) topic evolution presented by Li et al. To do so, we apply an approach that combines both H-index-based performance analysis and science mapping to detect, visualize, and evaluate conceptual ITS themes and ITS thematic areas published by the journal IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transport Systems during the decade (2000–2009). The primary consequence of this is the detection of three important thematic areas: COMPUTER-VISION and TRAFFIC-FLOW, which are related to research in ITS applied to vehicles, and AIRCRAFT-TRAFFIC, which is related to research in ITS applied to aircraft/airport.
