3 - Mobility Systems: Backbones for Smart and Sustainable Cities and Regions

Efficient, resilient, and sustainable mobility systems are fundamental to shaping smart and livable cities and regions and ensure accessibility, efficiency, and environmental sustainability. Well-integrated public transport networks, active mobility, and digital innovations are reshaping urban and regional mobility, reducing congestion, and minimizing emissions. Expanding the use of electric mobility, optimizing urban logistics, and enhancing multimodal transport infrastructures are key strategies for creating low-carbon and people-centered mobility systems.

This track explores the evolution of mobility systems as key drivers of smart and sustainable cities and regions. It focuses on enhancing regional mobility through integrated transport networks, multimodal hubs, and smart infrastructure to improve connectivity across urban and rural areas. The track also emphasizes promoting soft mobility, such as walking, cycling, and active transportation, to create healthier, more livable environments while reducing congestion and emissions. Additionally, it examines the role of electric mobility in decarbonizing transport, focusing on charging infrastructure, vehicle integration, and the policy frameworks needed for sustainable adoption. 


We welcome submissions on, but not limited to, the following topics: 


Innovative aspects

  • Integration of Regional and Multimodal Mobility: Addressing connectivity gaps with smart transport hubs and seamless multimodal solutions for urban and peri-urban areas. 

  • Advancements in Soft Mobility: Promoting walking, cycling, and micromobility through new infrastructure models and digital tools that enhance urban livability. 

  • E-Mobility and Smart Charging: Overcoming traditional transport challenges with scalable electric vehicle adoption, intelligent charging networks, and grid integration strategies. 

  • Sustainable Urban Logistics: Tackling last-mile delivery and urban freight issues with zero-emission solutions, automated logistics, and urban consolidation hubs. 

  • Digitalization and AI-Driven Mobility: Using big data, AI, and blockchain to optimize networks, streamline operations, and solve complex transport planning issues. 

  • Equitable and Inclusive Mobility: Addressing accessibility and inclusivity with universal design, gender-sensitive policies, and targeted solutions for underserved areas. 

  • Mobility in Peri-Urban Areas: Offering new solutions to enhance connectivity and governance for suburban and rural regions, overcoming the challenges of dispersed populations.
