The key components and features of smart mobility may include:
               • Connected Vehicles: Vehicles equipped with communication technologies that allow them to exchange data
              with other vehicles, infrastructure, and traffic management systems. This facilitates real-time information sharing
              and coordination.
               • Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS): These are advanced applications and technologies that enhance
              transportation safety, efficiency, and transit. ITS includes traffic signal control systems, electronic toll collection,
              real-time traveller information, and more.
               • Shared Mobility:  The  promotion  of  shared  transportation  options,  such  as ride-sharing,  carpooling,  bike-
              sharing, and scooter-sharing. This approach aims to reduce the number of private vehicles on the road and
              optimise resource utilisation.
               • Electric Vehicles (EVs): Adoption of electric-powered vehicles to reduce carbon emissions and dependency on
              fossil fuels, contributing to a more sustainable transportation ecosystem.
               • Autonomous Vehicles (AVs): Self-driving vehicles that can operate without human intervention. AVs have
              the potential to improve road safety, traffic flow, and accessibility, but their widespread implementation is still
              evolving.
               • Smart Infrastructure: Incorporation of smart technologies into transportation infrastructure, including smart
              traffic lights, connected roadways, and sensor-equipped parking spaces, to improve overall traffic management.
               • Data Analytics and Predictive Modeling: Utilising data from various sources (e.g., GPS, sensors, social media)
              to analyse transportation patterns, predict demand, and optimise routes and services.
               • Mobile  Applications: The development of user-friendly mobile  apps that provide real-time transportation
              information, facilitate ticketing and payment, and offer personalised travel recommendations.

               • Multi-Modal Integration: Seamless integration of various transportation modes, such as buses, trains, bikes,
              and on-demand services, to offer travellers flexible and efficient options for their journeys.

               • Sustainable Urban Planning: Incorporating smart mobility concepts into city planning and development to
              create more walkable and bike-friendly urban spaces, reduce sprawl, and promote mixed-use communities.
            Implementing smart mobility solutions requires collaboration between governments, private sector stakeholders,
            and technology providers. The ultimate goal is to create a more connected, accessible, and sustainable
            transportation ecosystem that meets the needs of modern society while minimising environmental impact,
            improving security, and enhancing overall quality of life.
