Introduction
What is Smart Mobility? Smart mobility is defined as the integra�on of new and emerging solu�ons to enhance mobility through the reduc�on of road conges�on. It offers faster, greener and cheaper transporta�on op�ons for the public. Smart mobility provides alterna�ve modes of travel and puts emphasis on affordable transporta�on, whilst fostering sustainable lifestyles that are beneficial to the environment. Principles of Smart Mobility • Flexibility: Mul�ple modes of transporta�on allow travellers to choose which ones work best for a given situa�on. • Efficiency: The trip gets travellers to their des�na�on with minimal disrup�on and in as li�le �me as possible. • Integra�on: The full route is planned door-to-door, regardless of which modes of transporta�on are used. • Clean Technology: Transporta�on moves away from pollu�on-causing vehicles to zero-emission ones. • Safety: Fatali�es and injuries are dras�cally reduced.
Smart mobility technologies aim to provide solu�ons to many mobility issues and promote greener and low emission mobility. Figure 6-1 shows the strategic technologies that form the fundamentals of mobility,
including intelligent road, traffic and parking systems, hybrid and electric vehicles, mul�modal transporta�on systems, low emission mobility, micro mobility solu�ons and travel assistance technologies.
