“…It is clear that the car system generates very many system problems. These include 1.25 million people dying each year from road traffic crashes, the greatest cause of death among young people (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/list_of_ countries_by_traffic-related_death_rate); much of the physical space of cities being devoted to cars ("they paved paradise to put up a parking lot"; Ben-Joseph 2012); excessive levels of nO 2 air pollution causing much premature death (http://www.jeanlambertmep.org.uk/ wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Airpollution-londonsUnseenKiller-2015.pdf ); the limits cars place on movement through cities for cyclists, pedestrians and public transport (Aldred and Jungnickel 2012); the burning up of most supplies of "easy oil" and extensive human rights abuses in many oil producing states (Urry 2013); responsibility for at least one-quarter of "global warming" (Banister, Schwanen, and Anable 2012); and generating high levels of congestion, stress and ill-health (ross 2014, 69).…”

“…It is timely to conduct such a review of the field as it is increasingly recognised that, as the range of challenges facing policy makers grows and becomes more multi-level and cross-sectoral, decision-making becomes more complex (Anderton, 2010 andBanister et al, 2012). Coupled with this are substantial changes to the ownership and management of parts of the transportation system which may be accelerating with the advent of new mobility services (Shaheen and Cohen, 2013).…”

This paper critiques the state of the art approaches to studying transportation policy. It does so through analysing 100 papers sampled from the two leading policy journals in the transportation literature. On applying two different frameworks for understanding policy, the review finds that only 13% of papers consider specific aspects of the policy cycle, that 60% focus on 'tools' for policy, and that two-thirds of papers did not engage with real-world policy examples or policy makers and focussed on quantitative analysis alone. We argue that these findings highlight the persistence of the technical-rational model within the transportation literature. This model, and the numerous traditions and disciplines that have fed into it have an important role to play in developing the transportation evidence base. However, we argue there are important questions of governance; such as context, power, resources and legitimacy, that are largely being ignored in the literature as it stands. The substantial lack of engagement with governance issues and debates means that as a field we are artificially, but more importantly, disproportionately generating a science of applied policy making which is unlikely to be utilised because of the distance between it and the realities on the ground. The paper identifies analytical approaches deployed readily in other fields that could be used to address some of the key deficiencies.

“…In this sense, different policy options have been designed with the aim to promote more sustainable mobility behavior [ 3 ]. Nevertheless studies show that these policies have had limited effect as people merely reacted to given constraints while their intrinsic motivation failed to be triggered [ 3 , 4 , 5 ].…”

Sustainable mobility and smart mobility management play important roles in achieving smart cities' goals. In this context we investigate the role of smartphones as mobility behavior sensors and evaluate the responsivity of different attitudinal profiles towards personalized route suggestion incentives delivered via mobile phones. The empirical results are based on mobile sensed data collected from more than 3400 people's real life over a period of six months. The findings show which user profiles are most likely to accept such incentives and how likely they are to result in more sustainable mode choices. In addition we provide insights into tendencies towards accepting more sustainable route options for different trip purposes and illustrate smart city platform potential (for collection of mobility behavior data and delivery of incentives) as a tool for development of personalized mobility management campaigns and policies.
