Smart Mobility in Smart City

Dear Colleagues,

It is estimated, by 2050, the global urban population will have increased to 6.3 billion of a total population of 9.3 billion and about 70% of people will be living in cities. As the number of urban residents increases, government agencies need to urgently address serious sustainable and development challenges in various areas, including mobility. This is because mobility issues impact on citizens’ quality of life and the overall sustainability of cities.

To overcome this issue, globally, there have been many efforts to develop smart city initiatives through the various dimensions of a smart city including smart mobility. Smart mobility focuses on the use of integrated ICT infrastructures, sustainable transport systems, and logistics to support urban traffic and mobility. The applications of smart mobility services include the provision of real-time and multi-modal public transport information, and traffic light optimization to attend to real-time traffic demand. The adoption of smart mobility helps to dramatically reduce emission levels and contribute to a sustainable global transport system, as part of a wider program of creating more vibrant, liveable, and sustainable cities.

This Special Issue will comprise a selection of papers presenting original and innovative contributions in the field of smart mobility research, including blockchain and smart mobility, intelligent transport systems, sustainable transportation systems, as well as innovative use cases of smart mobility-related technologies and socio-cultural, political, economical, environmental, and legal considerations.

The particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

• Blockchain and smart mobility
• Innovations in smart mobility
• Smart urban mobility
• Autonomous urban mobility
• Sustainable transportation systems
• Governance of smart mobility
• Planning and designing of smart mobility services
• Intelligent transport systems
• Impact on quality of life
• Socio-cultural, political, economical, environmental, and legal considerations
