Mobility Challenges in the Cities of the Future

Abstract

Autonomous vehicles have become a logical consequence of implementing the Intelligent Transport Systems strategy. The article analyses the directions of road vehicles intellectualization. This is due to the implementation of new paradigms in the functioning of the Smart City transport system to solve the problems of mobility and logistics, as well as vehicle service. The article presents the concept of an intelligent passenger transportation service called “Social Mobility on Demand”, which allows passengers to choose an acceptable option using a set of options, as well as operators to optimally distribute cars for different travel types, which will reduce the load on the road network, as well as the negative impact on the environment. It is shown that in order to manage the reliability of connected vehicles, it is necessary to improve proprietary maintenance and repair systems. The concept of a branded service system in the transition to fundamentally new modes of transport is described, which will allow maintaining their working condition and increasing the safety and stability of the transport system.
