ICT Intensity in Smart Mobility Initiatives

Mobility is a critical factor for better living in cities. Transport is crucial for moving from home to work and assess to urban services. However, transport is also one of the most problematic aspects of the urbanization: the enlargement of city dimensions produces, traffic congestion, difficulties in delivering public transport services all over the metropolitan area and an increasing of pollution. Smart Mobility is a subset of smart initiatives, especially aiming at planning intelligent transport solutions, concurrently responding to all the smart goals that are to reduce pollution, to increase the quality of public services and to better connect city neighbourhoods thanks to mobility data collection, processing and delivering. This chapter defines a general framework for analysing characteristics, goals and benefits pursue by smart mobility projects, investigating also the role of ICT in implementing these projects. Several case studies validate the theoretical framework.
