The International Conference on Smart Mobility (IEEESM) is designated for reporting recent research, development and deployment results in smart mobility systems and services, their challenging problems and their potential applications. IEEESM is where academics, technologists, OEMs, mobility service providers, city planners and policy makers can network, learn and collaborate with each other. The program of the conference features keynote and invited speeches from top thought-leaders and pioneers in the area of smart mobility, panel discussions, fully refereed papers, workshops, tutorials, industry sessions, Women in Mobility (WiM) Symposium and Triple Helix Exhibition.

Why it matters – Smart Mobility Triad

Smart mobility is one of the main pillars that characterizes smart cities and maintains their sustainability as a way to deal with continuously growing world urbanization and its expected impacts on public health, congestion and accelerated global climate change.

The widespread deployment and the societal acceptance of smart mobility technologies will depend not only on the maturity of the technology but also on the availability of a well-developed governance framework and the proper city planning to accommodate these evolving technologies. This means that smart mobility depends on a triad of complementary factors: technology, governance, and city planning.

How can we achieve this triad? What are the strategies that we can follow to apply this triad facing all the disruptive times the world has? How can government, city planners, and technologists work together to respond to changes in mobility? Answers to these questions are among the expected outcomes of this international conference, through authors’ contributions, keynote speeches, and panel discussions.
