Integrated Mobility Services

Smart technologies are enabling the integration of different transportation modes. Mobility as a Service (MaaS) platforms allow travelers to plan, book and pay for multimodal trips using a single application. Users can select the optimal combination of public transportation, ride-hailing, bike-sharing, car-sharing or rental cars for their journey based on live schedules, pricing and availability.

Payment is handled digitally through the app, making transportation more seamless and convenient. MaaS has huge potential to reduce congestion and pollution by shifting more trips to public transit, walking and cycling. Transportation network companies (TNCs) like Uber and Lyft are expanding their services to also include options like bicycle rentals, car sharing pods and transit tickets. In the future, autonomous vehicles will further strengthen MaaS by providing another on-demand transportation option.

Enhanced Public Transit

Public Smart Transportation systems are being transformed through smart tech integration. Contactless payment options using debit/credit cards, mobile wallets or smart cards allows for swift boarding. Real-time passenger information tools display estimated arrival/departure times of buses and trains on mobile apps and digital displays. Some systems even predict crowding levels to help travelers choose less busy services.

Advanced traffic signal priority and dedicated bus lanes help improve schedule adherence. On-demand micro-transit services supplement traditional fixed routes by flexibly serving low-density areas. Solar-powered smart shelters come equipped with free Wi-Fi, charging ports, digital displays and emergency call boxes. Such enhancements significantly improve the rider experience, enabling more people to embrace public transportation as their preferred commuting option.

Eco-friendly Vehicles

Electrification of transportation powered by renewable energy will be a major factor driving sustainability. Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming mainstream choices for both personal and shared fleet use due to improving affordability, driving range and availability of public charging infrastructure. Policies like EV subsidies, fuel economy/emission regulations and promotion of green fleet procurement are accelerating this transition.
