Why smart mobility matters

Half of the world population lives in urban areas. With concentration come both congestions and opportunities. The key challenges are to move people, parcels and information around, swiftly and securely. Multi-modality and interoperability across platforms are crucial in succeeding to solve these complex mobility management challenges.

For livable future cities, remote and rural areas have to remain accessible too. Smart mobility calls for inclusivity to tackle the challenges of the rural divide, the aging population or people with disabilities.

Opportunities

1

Improving Traffic

Smart mobility can help to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow, which can lead to time savings, reduced emissions, and improved air quality. It can also help to improve accessibility and mobility for all members of a community, including those with disabilities, older adults, and low-income individuals.
2

Reducing Car Ownership

Smart mobility can also help to reduce the need for personal car ownership, which can lead to cost savings and reduced environmental impacts. This can be achieved through the promotion of shared transportation options such as car-sharing, bike-sharing, and public transportation.
3

Enhancing Safety

Smart mobility can also help to improve safety and reduce the number of accidents. This can be achieved through the use of technologies such as connected and autonomous vehicles, as well as traffic management systems that can help to improve traffic flow and reduce the risk of collisions.
4

Boosting Economic Growth

Smart mobility can also help to promote economic development by making it easier for people and goods to move around, which can lead to increased productivity and job opportunities.
