Global Practices Growing popula�on, traffic conges�on and pollu�on are being addressed globally with the deployment of state-of-the-art digital infrastructures. Barcelona, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Seoul have each adopted integrated
digital systems to improve connec�vity and enable efficient mobility. From these examples, Malaysia can look towards adop�ng new technologies to improve accessibility and bring social benefits to communi�es.

Sen�lo - Smart Mobility Programme An open-source data pla�orm that integrates data from a dense network of sensors, used to manage street lights to accommodate real-�me traffic condi�ons, regulate parking spaces and manage smart transit services. Stellar Bus Transit System A new orthogonal bus network with hybrid buses to reduce carbon emissions. It also has smart bus shelters using solar panels where a touchscreen provides wai�ng
Traffic and Incident Management System (TIMS) TIMS automa�cally detects incidents, consolidate traffic and transport con�ngency plans, disseminate traffic and transport informa�on and coordinate exis�ng and future traffic control and surveillance systems. Universal App Integrate exis�ng public transport applica�ons into one universal app that makes mobility simpler. In-Vehicle Units IVUs furnish motorists with real-�me traffic informa�on, facilitate tunnel fees payment remotely using an integrated automa�c tolling system without toll booths. Real-�me Traffic Data Traffic detectors are installed to provide real-�me traffic informa�on. A powerful tool is used to collect the mobile phone data of drivers and passengers to analyse traffic flow and develop measures to reduce traffic conges�on and enhance road safety. They provide real-�me bus informa�on to ci�zens’ mobile devices and on displays at bus stops.
and arrival �mes and USB ports. Bicing - Bicycle Sharing System
Provides 6,000 bicycles for short trips around the city. The Bicing app allows users to check out real-�me
availability at sta�ons. Urban Mobility Apps
TMB Virtual: A mobile app that indicates bus stops, lines and distance, superimposed on real-world images. It is also a compass for direc�on. Trànsit: An app with real-�me traffic updates provided through the municipal traffic cameras. Mapa Tricentenari: An augmented reality app which uses a map of Barcelona to show loca�on informa�on.

Seoul
5G Smart Metro A smart pla�orm with smart opera�on, smart service and smart maintenance capabili�es. The sta�ons provide high-speed connec�vity for phone calls, for accessing the Internet and making mobile payments. Augmented Reality (AR) Smart Glass Panels AR smart glass panels are linked to the train sta�on’s command centre to monitor passenger flow in real �me; locate and control sudden incidents as well as to assess and judge the situa�on on the pla�orm.
Bus Management System An integrated control centre that monitors the en�re traffic system in real �me and communicates the informa�on to passengers through a service panel at bus stops and via various mobile applica�ons and the Internet. Shared Parking System An IoT-based one-stop shared parking system which helps people to check the availability of parking spaces in real �me, using a smartphone applica�on. It is also for reserving parking space and paying parking fees. AI Taxi A system that predicts the demand for taxi in real �me based on pick-up and drop-off, weather condi�ons demographics and informa�on on commercial areas and public transporta�on. more a tt rac ti ve to commuters. One way is to introduce newer, more efficient apps to enable passengers to plan their journeys be tt er. The Universal App for example, integrates exis ti ng public transport applica tio ns into one universal tool, making travel easier.
