“…The Benin City transportation systems were upgraded with an advanced ITS system that assesses traffic flow in real time [100]. Medellín has implemented the sharing of transportation data between the different types of mass transit for providing a quick solution for unexpected shifts in the volume of passengers and massification of routes [101,102].…”

“…The previous studies on the ensuring of public involvement are not reliable [58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69]. Despite the emerging recognition that an organized involvement of stakeholders should become central to all the relevant features of smart transportation studies [70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84], limited attention has been paid to encouraging different stakeholders in all critical stages of smart city agendas [85][86][87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102].

The smart city transport concept is viewed as a future vision aiming to undertake investigations on the urban planning process and to construct policy-pathways for achieving future targets. Therefore, this paper sets out three visions for the year 2035 which bring about a radical change in the level of green transport systems (often called walking, cycling, and public transport) in Turkish urban areas. A participatory visioning technique was structured according to a three-stage technique: (i) Extensive online comprehensive survey, in which potential transport measures were researched for their relevance in promoting smart transport systems in future Turkish urban areas; (ii) semi-structured interviews, where transport strategy suggestions were developed in the context of the possible imaginary urban areas and their associated contextual description of the imaginary urban areas for each vision; (iii) participatory workshops, where an innovative method was developed to explore various creative future choices and alternatives. Overall, this paper indicates that the content of the future smart transport visions was reasonable, but such visions need a considerable degree of consensus and radical approaches for tackling them. The findings offer invaluable insights to researchers inquiring about the smart transport field, and policy-makers considering applying those into practice in their local urban areas.

The sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Thailand come from the energy sector, including power generation, transport, industries, buildings, and households. In 2016, the energy sector contributed 77 percent of total GHG emissions. Thailand's energy policies are the essential instrument to deal with GHG emission reduction under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The renewable energy (RE) plans aim at increasing the share of RE in final energy consumption while the energy efficiency (EE) plans aim at improving energy efficiency as well as reducing fossil-fuel consumption. GHG emission mitigation will result in several co-benefits such as increasing energy security and decreasing local air pollutants. Therefore, this study analyzes potentials of GHG emission reduction during 2015–2050 from utilization of renewable energy and increasing energy efficiency using the Long-range Energy Alternative Planning system (LEAP) model. Results include potentials of domestic RE and EE measures to achieve Thailand's nationally determined contribution (NDC). Moreover, it was found that to meet Thailand's first NDC of 20 percent GHG emission reduction target in 2030, targets in the RE plan and the EE plan must be achieved by at least 50 percent and 75 percent, respectively, or targets in the RE plan and the EE plan must be achieved by at least 75 percent and 50 percent. In addition, the extended NDC scenario in 2050 is analyzed in the long-term perspective of Thailand showing 30.4 percent reduction when compared to the BAU. The policy implication includes promotion of energy efficiency, acceleration of the deployment of renewable energy and advanced technologies such as CCS, completion of transmission network for renewable electricity, zoning of biomass sources, and public awareness in climate changes.

“…For instance, in six cities of Canada, the CO 2 concentration level dropped from 0.14 to 0.07 ppm (parts per million) in March from 2018 to 2020. Although the lockdown has had a positive impact on the environment, policy intervention in the past has been inadequate for dealing with the high concentration of emissions caused by fossil fuel sources, especially in Latin America ( Chèze et al, 2013 , Martínez-Jaramillo et al, 2017 ).…”
