Smart Transport unlocks the practical, future-facing world of intelligent mobility—showing how cities and agencies can plan, fund, and deploy connected transit that works for real people. From multimodal urban transport to data-driven operations, this essential guide explains the systems behind smarter travel: intelligent transportation systems (ITS), connected vehicles, real-time passenger information, mobility-as-a-service (MaaS), and the technology and governance needed to bring them to life. You’ll learn how connected transit improves reliability, reduces congestion, and supports sustainability goals through better network design and responsive decision-making. The book breaks down complex topics into clear, actionable insights—covering communication technologies, interoperability, sensor ecosystems, platform thinking, and how to evaluate performance using measurable outcomes. Whether you’re a policymaker, transit professional, engineer, student, or entrepreneur, Smart Transport connects engineering fundamentals with the strategic choices required to scale. Packed with context and forward-looking perspective, Smart Transport also explores the human side of transportation transformation—access, equity, safety, privacy, and public trust. If you want to understand what intelligent mobility means in practice, and how to shape the next generation of urban travel, this guide is your roadmap.
