The effect of smart mobility performance in mitigation of climate change, the experiences of European cities

Abstract

Smart and sustainable urban improvement is the current priority. Mobility is one of the most difficult topics to face within the urban regions. Great mobility for citizens and businesses incredibly increases the attractiveness and competitiveness of cities. The transport sector is one of the biggest contributors of CO2 emissions and other greenhouse gasses. In order to decreasing the global average temperature by CO2, critical and transformative activities in urban portability are required. As a sub-domain of the smart-city concept, smart-mobility-solutions integration at the municipal level is thought to have environmental, financial and social benefits, e.g., decreasing air pollution in cities, giving modern markets for alternative mobility and ensuring widespread get to to open transportation. Therefore, this article points to analyze the significance of smart mobility in creating a cleaner environment and provide strategic and practical illustrations of smart-mobility services in four European cities: Berlin (Germany), Kaunas (Lithuania), Riga (Latvia) and Tartu (Estonia). The paper presents a systematized writing review approximately the potential of smart-mobility services in reducing the negative natural affect to urban situations in different cities.
