Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to address the need for cross-disciplinary, collaborative international research that supports implementation of a ‘smart mobility’ for sustainable urban transportation. Progress toward a positive, integrated, and sustainable future for urban transportation will require more than technology. According to Susan Zielinski (2006) there are three frontiers of thinking and practice for Smart mobility, namely: complexity, accessibility and new business models (1). To our view, in addition to Zielinski’s frontiers of thinking there are at least three other fundamental aspects to be considered in order to create a framework for Smart mobility, namely: matching Business and Technology; integrating Spatial Planning with Transportation Planning; promoting a cultural change. Besides, innovations such as Smart Cards, On-Line Traveller Information, Car-Sharing, bundled mobility packages and snappy marketing techniques are coming together and changing the way investors and users think about urban transportation.
