Smart mobility is the use of technology to make the movement of goods and people easier and more efficient. It is at the forefront of modern transportation solutions, revolutionising how we move within our cities. Powered by advanced technologies and data-driven insights, smart mobility addresses the ever-growing challenges of congestion, accessibility, carbon emissions, and road safety.

Many products and services fall under the ‘umbrella’ of smart mobility, such as Mobility as a Service products (e.g., journey planning apps and ticketing services), smart infrastructure (e.g., adaptive traffic signals and Smart Motorways) and mobility sharing services (e.g., lime bikes and Uber pool), to name a few.

In this webinar we will be looking at the latest research and technology within smart mobility, covering the perspective of rural roads, urban roads and the major road network, with presentations from a range of organisations including the 2023 CIHT Technology and Innovation award winners Sm@rt Transport.

Join us to hear about the latest projects happening in our sector and have the opportunity to put your questions about smart mobility to our experts.

This webinar is open to both CIHT Members, CIHT Partner Employees and non-members. It will be of particular interest to those wanting to learn about the latest developments in technologies designed to make the movement of goods and people easier and more efficient.
