Question

Smart Mobility seems to be a growing area of interest and overall investment within government (local/federal) and private industry—why is this happening? Doesn’t connectivity just work in the Big cities –Austin, San Fran, Boston and Miami?

Answer 1

Smart mobility is the future of transportation. The objective behind smart mobility is to use existing and new transportation mediums so as to minimize the rate of pollution as well as traffic congestion and to facilitate mobility. People do feel that the concept of smart mobility is applicable only for big cities. But various tier 2 and tier 3 cities are also adopting this concept as the cities are aspiring for better ecology and environment. Moreover sustainability is the need of the hour. Hence small cities are also showing interest in the concept and are capitalizing on its features and benefits.

The various benefits associated with Smart Mobility are as follows:

• Reduces the transportation cost considerably
• Improves the pollution index of the city
• Manages traffic congestions quite effectively
• Fuel consumption gets reduced substantially
