Several IoT applications have been envisioned facilitate data driven smart application for user. Smart City Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) offer futuristic vision smart, secure safe experience end user, at same time efficiently manage sparse resources optimize efficiency city operations. However, outbreaks pandemics like COVID-19 revealed limitations existing deployments, therefore, architecture, technology systems need be developed swift timely enforcement guidelines, rules government orders contain such future outbreaks. This work outlines novel potential use-cases some directions in developing using ITS.
