Barriers to Smart Mobility Implementation in Urban Context

This paper thoroughly explores and identifies the existing barriers and challenges of smart (urban) mobility (especially multimodal mobility), including issues such as the integration of diverse travel modes, technological barriers (data openness problems), the user (passenger) experience related to informational support systems in planning multimodal journeys (Multimodal Journey Planners - MJPs) and critical segments of multimodal routes (e.g., transitioning to other modes of travel). Finally, the paper presents recommendations for ongoing research and development in smart urban mobility, tailored to the evolving needs and affinities of today's travellers.
