Abstract

The unlimited and unrestricted mobility of people and goods in urban areas is one of the key factors for economic and social development of the city. Today with the availability of smart technologies and various intelligent transportation and telematics solutions the Smart Mobility as part of a Smart City is possible to maintain the mobility ecosystem in the city. But to make the urban mobility smart by assuring the sustainability, safety, low emission and comfort in urban transport new mobility concepts are required. This paper introduces an architecture for smart mobility systems and describes in general the requirements of such systems. The focus for this contribution is on the traffic information and management systems for public, private and shared mobility. In addition to the traffic information and data sources, this paper also deals with social media as new traffic data source as well as the environment data. Furthermore, some use cases selected from different national and international ITS projects are also presented.
