Mobility
Smart transportation + Smart traffic
Smart transportation and traffic integrate a multi-modal
intelligent transportation system for rail, air, public transit, and
freight, empowering service operators and passengers with real
time information and tools.
Aim:
They can help monitor, predict and regulate traffic; manage
parking; improve operational efficiency and reduce time
travel; improve customer experience by determining the most
appropriate transportation and route; and reduce transport
carbon emissions.
Services
Smart public safety
Smart public safety includes the delivery of a coordinated
response to a range of events such as health (emergency
response systems, access to accident and emergency units, etc.)
and transport (traffic management).
Aim:
It generates improved citizen-centric services and safer
public spaces via video surveillance. It also enhances street
management: public lighting and street maintenance.
Smart governance
Smart governance refers to digital platforms (smartphone apps,
digital billboards) with system automation for citizens' user-
friendly access to urban data and public service information.
Urban data are retrieved through sensors embedded within
infrastructure systems to collect data.
Aim:
Smart governance simplifies city management, improves
public service delivery and government accountability, increases
citizens' sense of responsibility through engagement, and
promotes better decision making.
Barcelona
Intelligent public lighting with lamp posts were embedded
with sensors detecting various information (CO

levels, noise,
motion, etc.)
Living
Smart buildings + Public spaces
Smart buildings and public spaces encompasses delivery of
buildings and public spaces that contain sophisticated mechanical
devices and control systems. These spaces operate as data sources
and potential sources of co-generation power and water plants.
Aim:
They improve the building performance, and the safety,
comfort and productivity of occupants, and promote safety,
atmosphere and quality of life while enabling social cohesion
and interaction.
INFORMATION
RELAYED
TO USERS
by screens updated in real
time located at stations,
stops and hubs via smart
phones or internet access
MOVEMENTS AND
MODE INFLUENCED
route choice and parking
availability
DATA COLLECTED
Detectors on the highway
alert the operators of the
progress of the service;
data shared with other
public transport providers
to enable a uniform service
across different modes
MOVEMENTS
ANALYZED
Application:
Singapore developed a single inter-modal transport card to pay
for all modes of travel. It resulted in shorter delays and lower
traffic congestion on expressways alone and $28 million annual
savings. Other examples include the Beijing real-time traffic
monitoring and the Paris on-demand personal transportation:
Vélib' (bicycles) and Autolib' (electric cars) sharing system.
