Description

Smart urban mobility in civil engineering involves using advanced technologies to enhance transportation systems within urban areas. It comprises the design and implementation of infrastructure and systems that support initiatives like Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). These systems utilise sensors, cameras and data analytics to monitor traffic flow, optimise signal timings and manage congestion in real-time. Smart urban mobility also promotes sustainable transportation options such as bike-sharing programs and electric vehicle charging stations, aiming to reduce environmental impact and enhance mobility options for residents. Collaboration among urban planners, policymakers, and technology experts is crucial to integrating these technologies effectively into city planning. By adopting smart urban mobility solutions, civil engineering contributes to creating cities that prioritise efficiency, sustainability and accessibility in transportation, ultimately improving the quality of urban life. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of smart urban mobility. It presents research and studies performed by experts across the globe. It will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers.
