The findings reveal that South Tangerang is currently unprepared to implement smart mobility, as indicated by low scores on its assessment indicators. Recommended policies include improving the availability, security, and comfort of public transportation, reorganizing transit routes, providing real-time information access, adjusting schedules, and promoting bicycle use by adding bicycle lanes. This research highlights the current state of transportation systems in developing countries and emphasizes the importance of implementing policies that benefit a wide segment of the population.

Socially Sustainable Mobility as a Service (MaaS): A practical MCDM framework to evaluate accessibility and inclusivity with application

Promoting socially sustainable mobility services for all social groups is one of the key elements for sustainable development according to the UN's sustainable development goals. Mobility as a Service (MaaS), a rapidly growing smart mobility concept, has the potential to achieve this goal. However, measuring societal impacts of MaaS considering vulnerable social groups' (elderly, disabled, low-income people) needs is still a question for scholars, practitioners, and policy makers. This paper presents a practical 3-stage framework to evaluate the accessibility and inclusion of MaaS systems based on a range of indicators, and a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) method. A worldwide experts' view survey was conducted among transportation academics and practitioners with 105 valid responses to prioritise the main and sub-criteria in proving an accessible and inclusive MaaS system. The results of MCDM analysis show that accessible transport services, accessible MaaS platforms, and accessibility data collection have a share of 51 %, 29 %, and 20 %, respectively. The functionality of the proposed framework has been illustrated on a real-world multi-city MaaS implementation within the Solent area, in particular Portsmouth city located in Southeast England (UK). The policy recommendations proposed in this study shed light on guiding stakeholders and policymakers to select and implement an accessible and inclusive MaaS system.

The study provides some insights on how smart mobility may act as game changer and lead us towards a greener future.

Sustainability of smart rural mobility and tourism: A key performance indicators-based approach

The concept of smart mobility and tourism has evolved from a technology-driven approach to one that focuses on sustainable solutions to address economic, social, and environmental issues. The United Nations (UN) sustainable development goals (SDGs) provide a framework for measuring and tracking progress toward sustainability goals. Key performance indicators (KPIs) are a useful tool for measuring and tracking progress towards these goals, allowing for continuous monitoring and evaluation of progress, identification of areas for improvement, and directing targeted interventions. This research aims to develop an indicators-based framework to evaluate the sustainability of smart and sustainable mobility and tourism in rural areas. Rural areas have often been neglected, or at least less prioritized, in the sustainability development of the mobility sector. The study also seeks to identify the overlap of KPIs between rural tourism and mobility, and how improved green mobility services can enhance sustainable rural tourism. Smart mobility and tourism indicators have a strong mutual relationship in rural communities, driving economic development, improving the quality of life for residents and visitors, and creating more sustainable and livable communities. Smart mobility and tourism indicators also play a crucial role in supporting the UN SDGs by providing data and insights that can inform policy and decision-making. The results of this research conclude how the target and performance setting of projects on sustainable mobility and tourism in rural communities support each other, and how they support achieving SDGs.

Parking sistemi u okviru koncepta pametne mobilnosti - pregled i evaluacija

The accelerated growth of cities and the development of information and communication technologies (ICT) have led to the emergence of the concept of smart mobility. Smart mobility enables efficient, flexible and environmentally friendly travel by various modes of transport using smart transport systems, smart infrastructure and smart technologies. One of the possible solutions for establishing smart mobility is the implementation of smart parking systems. The large number of vehicles in urban urban areas makes finding a parking space a difficult task, which further affects traffic congestion and environmental pollution. To overcome this challenge, it is necessary to establish an efficient and advanced parking system that allows drivers to find and reserve a suitable parking space, dynamically plan a route and guide and/or park without human intervention. In this regard, the paper provides an overview and analysis of smart parking systems with a special focus on the advantages and disadvantages of each individual type. In addition, using a multi-criteria method known as the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP), the paper provides an evaluation of smart parking systems based on the key performance.

How can smart mobility bridge the first/last mile gap? Empirical evidence on public attitudes from Australia

Under the umbrella concept of smart mobility, new transport innovations such as peer-to-peer transport, shared autonomous vehicles, and mobility-as-a-service have been identified for their potential to improve accessibility and bridge the first/last-mile gap between origin, destination, and good quality public transport. Any future mobility plan, nevertheless, will need to appeal to a population reluctant to break habits. This study explores quantitative data collected from major Australian cities to provide a geographic context between attitudes towards smart mobility with a particular focus on eight attitudinal factors—i.e., technology, public transport, sharing, multimodality, peer-to-peer transport, smart phones and apps, environmental consciousness, and reducing private vehicle use. The quantitative analysis disclosed that regardless of location, overcoming private vehicle use, user aversion to multimodality, and reluctance to share rides with strangers' presence significant barriers to some smart mobility options. Furthermore, respondents in inner ring areas of cities have more positive views towards public transport, the environment, and smart phones, while the middle/outer ring residents on the contrary have more positive views towards private vehicles. The study findings offer policy insights and potential opportunities and challenges associated with the implementation of smart mobility in urban areas.

Evaluation of Smart Mobility Indicators in Responding COVID-19 Pandemic in Indonesia

The COVID-19 outbreak cuts the number of trips and people’s movement during the day. Not only because of the community’s awareness for the disease transmission but also because of the enforcement from the government to apply the mobility policy. This changing trip behavior is predicted to happen throughout the time of pandemic and post-pandemic. On the contrary, when mobility is decreasing, the role of ICT in community activities is increasing. This condition leads to an interesting question for the smart city, especially the smart mobility concept, whether the smart mobility concept has been properly addressed and responded to the pandemic and post-pandemic era or not. This paper aims to explore how far smart mobility planning has been applied by local governments in Indonesia, especially in response to community activity during the pandemic era. Our approach in this paper is a qualitative study in evaluating online local government planning documents as our main data. We choose the study cases in three cities that got high tier ranks in the smart city awards in 2019 (based on Rating Kota Cerdas Indonesia/Indonesia’s Smart Cities Rating), which are Semarang, Samarinda, Magelang. We review literature on smart mobility indicators and those smart mobility indicators used in planning documents. Then, we evaluate the relevance of those indicators to the condition of pandemic and post pandemic era. We found that smart mobility indicators have not been received much concern as the main aspect of smart city in Indonesia.

Defining Smart Mobility Service Levels via Text Mining

The concept of smart mobility depends on a country’s or city’s visions and surroundings, such as traffic issues and available transportation modes. This study, therefore, proposes a clear and consistent set of definitions for smart mobility, in the context of past, present, and future, based on investigations of smart mobility practices in South Korea and overseas. In addition, smart mobility definitions are collected from various written sources and analyzed via text mining to define levels of smart mobility beyond the present service level. This study therefore defines smart mobility in six stages: level 0, base infrastructure; level 1, individual digitization; level 2, partial integration; level 3, full integration; level 4, personalized integration; and level 5, mobility transformation. The definition of each stage includes the scope of transportation modes to be integrated, required technology level, mobility operations, and user convenience. This definition of smart mobility by stage will be beneficial for setting the targeted levels of smart mobility services in projects and for setting goals not only in the present context but also for the future of smart mobility, which will be utilized as a roadmap for the implementation of smart mobility in many countries and cities.

Unpacking the Smart Mobility Concept in the Dutch Context Based on a Text Mining Approach

Existing mobility solutions are criticized for falling short of effectively addressing transport issues and sustainability challenges. In this light, smart mobility has received increasing attention. In the Netherlands, the smart mobility concept triggered various developments, leading to the uptake of initiatives for real-life experimentation, accompanied by an increase in media attention. While the concept is making its way through Dutch society, its meaning for practice remains unspecified. Therefore, this paper aims to unpack the meaning of the smart mobility concept, by analyzing Dutch news articles and initiatives’ websites using text mining and qualitative content analysis. The analyses reveal some ambiguous meanings for the smart mobility concept, demonstrating on the one hand a focus on incremental technological innovations that bring forward car-based solutions for short-term fixes, while on the other hand promising to address car-related issues and fundamentally change the mobility system by taking long-term challenges into account. In general, smart mobility seems to be about optimizations and maintaining the status quo rather than challenging it, although there are a few deviating and more critical voices. The smart mobility concept mobilizes actors and resources, but considering the ambiguities, these developments should be critically evaluated when proposed as solutions to transport issues and sustainability challenges.
