Smart Mobility for Sustainable Development Goals: Enablers and Barriers

Smart mobility is a wide umbrella to different systems and services to meet various end-user needs such as safety, seamless accessibility, reliability, and affordability without compromising the collective good of the society and the environment in terms of reduced congestion, reduced emission, and sustainability. Emerging smart mobility systems and services can play instrumental roles in achieving several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by UN Member States. This paper sheds light on the roles of smart mobility as an enabler to sustainable development in developed and developing countries. The paper also discusses a few barriers that need to be properly handled to achieve the full potential of smart mobility technology as a key enabler to achieve SDGs.
