Smart Mobility

Smart Mobility comprises the integrated user-oriented transport systems and services that can make travelling safer, smarter and greener, using innovative technologies. It is an advanced form of mobility that combines diverse transport technologies, services and modes. Accordingly, all types of transport technologies, services and modes can become smart mobility systems if they are refined with new information technologies. Cooperative-intelligent transport systems are one representative example of smart mobility technology, while personal mobility is an example of a smart mobility mode. In terms of smart mobility services, demand-responsive transport services are the prime example.
