Abstract	Ensuring effective object tracking within Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) in smart cities is pivotal for enhancing urban mobility and sustainability. However, challenges arise, particularly in scenarios with occlusions and adverse weather conditions, where traditional methods may fall short in ensuring safety. To address these challenges, a novel track-by-detection approach is introduced aimed at enhancing transportation systems. The approach integrates key components, including the Detection Transformer (DETR) for emphasizing global context, and the You Only Look Once version 7 (YOLOv7) renowned for capturing local context. Additionally, the deep sort tracking filter is incorporated to enhance object tracking accuracy. A pivotal aspect of the approach lies in the utilization of the deep sort of filter for object tracking, preceded by preprocessing with the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method to refine tracking outcomes. This buffering approach significantly improves tracking quality by reducing noise and enhancing feature representation. Moreover, the approach leverages tracking from satellite videos, enabling comprehensive monitoring of transportation activities across vast regions. The refined tracking outputs, including those from satellite videos, are fused with direct outputs from the trackers obtained from both YOLOv7 and DETR. These integrated fused buffered tracked bounding boxes demonstrate superior performance compared to individual approaches. Validation using simulated imagery under cloudy conditions, incorporating the Motion Evaluation Metric (MOT), showcases enhanced accuracy across various transportation objects. Implementing this approach in ITS promise's benefits such as enhanced traffic management and increased efficiency in public transportation. This underscores the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in revolutionizing smart city mobility. © 2024 IEEE.
