Description
Summary:Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) increasingly rely on connectivity for efficient traffic management and enhanced user experience. The existing ITS solutions operate mainly within a 2D domain, thus missing the potential benefits of aerial platforms. This paper envisions 3D ITS by integrating aerial platforms, such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), to simultaneously improve network coverage and support multimodal transportation, including Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). Using stochastic models, we investigate how UAV-based Aerial Base Stations (ABSs) can address the limitations of traditional Terrestrial Base Stations (TBSs) by offering superior coverage, particularly in urban environments. Our results demonstrate that ABSs have \mathbf{1 0 6 . 6 7 \%} more coverage area than TBS, higher Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) distribution, and are suitable for high-throughput ITS applications.
