Publisher's Synopsis
This book covers multiple dimensions of future mobility systems in smart cities, mapping out the innovations that are needed, presenting ideas on how to address the challenges they present and exploring a holistic research path for future developments. The book considers the interaction between:
- technological developments in modes of transport and transportation systems like autonomous systems and shared mobility that lead to emerging mobility systems;
- the social behavior of the drivers and travelers who interact with these systems; and
- the institutional behavior of organized units such as the administrators responsible for the policies involved with transportation governance and regulation.
Transportation Mobility in Smart Cities provides methods to analyze, design, and optimize a mobility system, taking into consideration this constellation of social and institutional factors as well as the necessary technological requirements. The result is a mobility system that will be acceptable to travelers without imposing undue inequities in transportation on the smart city.
The holistic approach taken in addressing the problems involved with establishing a mobility system within a smart city makes this book attractive to researchers and practitioners, technologists, and policy makers alike. Graduate students working in areas connected with the evolution of transportation systems will also find the material presented in this book instructive.
