Special Issue on
Advances in Smart and Green Transportation for Smart Cities
Scope:
According to a recent UN report, continuing population growth and
urbanization are expected to increase world's urban population by 2.5
billion people and 2.9 billion vehicles by 2050. This massive growth in
both population and number of vehicles, together with urban
transformation and a trend towards mega cities, creates greater and more
challenges for achieving smart transportation goals in smart cities.
Therefore, new and more integrated modes of transportation, and
environment friendly solutions are required to accommodate the rising
demands of high liveability in smarter cities that offer safe, secure,
affordable, reliable and sustainable transportation in old and new
markets alike.
Road transportation accounts for more than one-fifth of the world's
total CO2 emissions, the main greenhouse gas, from fossil fuel
combustion, placing itself as a major contributor to global climate
change. Moreover, the anticipated unprecedented increase in number of
vehicles makes transportation a main target for reducing air pollution
and achieving sustainable environment. All this incite public
authorities and governments to devise new policies to reduce CO2
emissions by promoting public and green transport choices, supporting
the private sector for inventing innovative modes of transport and
stimulating a move towards cleaner and lower carbon vehicles. This
ultimately leads to Green Transportation, which means any eco-friendly
transport practice or vehicle that does not have any negative impact on
the environment.
Within a Smart City, smart and green mobility has to be intended as the
way in which citizens access and explore the city using advanced and
eco-friendly transport modes. This implies being aware of the available
mobility resources (public transports, parking facilities, bike lanes,
ride sharing) and of their real value (in term of cost, time, carbon
emissions, health), but also having an easy and efficient access to city
services and events as well as a simple and unified access to transport
payments. Supporting such an inter-connected, heterogeneous and dynamic
transport system with lower or no environmental impact requires the
adoption of innovative and sophisticated solutions from traffic
management centers and city administration to control the mobility
resources and policies and to proactively enhance them.
This special issue aims at publishing novel contributions presenting
services, applications and solutions that help in reducing carbon
emissions for any road transport mode or facilitate access and use of
modern and greener transport modes.
