Smart Mobility: Linking Research, Regulation, Innovation and Practice

Dear Colleagues,

Improving the quality of life and fostering green, sustainable cities using different technologies is at the core of the smart cities concept. The mobility and transportation field, recognised as one of the pillars of smart cities is nowadays, due to innovative technologies, a field where industry, regulatory bodies, governance structures, technical standardisation bodies and the research community can in fact make a significant positive impact.

New modes of transportation, integrated and reliable mobility solutions, coupled with the effective collection, processing, integration, use, reuse and storage of data are keys areas of focus.

This Special Issue intends to bridge the gap between research, standardisation and regulation and practical applications by disseminating contributions focused on innovative approaches and best practices. The development and application of smart mobility solutions, the critical role of data and interoperability challenges, the integration of emerging technologies, the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) and innovative approaches to dealing with evolving legislation and standards in this field are all topics aligned to the scope of this Special Issue, to which you are kindly invited to contribute.
