Smart Mobility: Using Technology to Improve Transportation in Smart Cities addresses the nature and characteristics of smart cities, providing a focus on smart mobility within urban areas and the opportunities and challenges associated with the application of advanced transportation technologies. The three highly qualified authors include an emphasis on decarbonization possibilities and the potential for smart mobility to reduce emissions and fuel consumption while optimizing modal use, along with risk identification and management using a structured approach.
A focus is also placed on the need for end-to-end travel support from origin to ultimate destination, reflecting consumer needs for comprehensive decision support and travel support services. Overall, Smart Mobility provides a framework, planning, and KPIs for smart mobility success and explains how effective performance management can be enabled.
Additional topics covered in this modern and thought-provoking work include: - Policies and strategies associated with smart mobility, including a description of the organizational arrangements required to support smart mobility technologies- The definition of appropriate institutional, funding, and commercial arrangements to assist interested practitioners to solve what is often their biggest challenge- Coverage of smart mobility operational management, explaining the likely impact of smart mobility on transportation operations- How to attain balance between transportation objectives and the avoidance of undesirable side effects such as congestion
For public and private sector professionals in the smart mobility community, Smart Mobility is an essential and easy-to-understand learning resource that will help readers comprehend the state-of-the-art progress in the field and be prepared for future advancements in this important and rapidly-developing industry.
