Shaping a Smart Transportation System for Sustainable Value Co-Creation

Abstract

The smart transportation system (STS) leverages ubiquitous and networked computing to improve the efficiency of urban mobility. Whilst existing IS work has explored various factors influencing STS development, there is a lack of consideration of how value can be created for building a more sustainable STS. Drawing upon the value co-creation theory and stakeholder theory, we seek to understand the socio-technical shaping of the STS ecosystem and how government, firms and citizens collaboratively create sustainable value for designing and implementing STS initiatives. To reach this aim, we carry out a longitudinal case study over 2016–2018 in Shijiazhuang, China. We offer both theoretical and practical explanations on (i) key value facets with regard to sustainable STS design and implementation; and (ii) a holistic view of iterative value co-creation process pushed by key stakeholders. This study makes particular contributions to the IS, marketing and transportation literature by offering a critical understanding of the social dynamics for shaping a big data-driven STS ecosystem.

Analysis of Intelligent Transportation System Application Based on Internet of Things and Big Data Technology under the Background of Information Society

“…They believe that solving traffic pollution and alleviating traffic pressure is the key to urban construction. In addition, the intelligent transportation system also puts forward new strategic directions for industrial development, international competition, safety improvement, and other issues [19][20][21]. The research on dynamic development level in Japan is not as good as that in Europe and America.…”

The Engagement of Complementors and the Role of Platform Boundary Resources in e-Commerce Platform Ecosystems

“…Critical to the sustained success of multi-sided platform ecosystems is a platform's ability to attract complementors or, more precisely, external software providers that build complementary software applications or module extensions on top of the platform's technological infrastructure (Ceccagnoli et al, 2012;Engert et al, 2019). Such engagement of complementors forms a symbiotic partnership between platform and complementor that is beneficial to both sides through value cocreation (Zhang et al, 2021). On the one hand, platform ecosystems benefit from a functional extension that adds significant value to end customers through specific software solutions (Engert et al, 2021).…”

“…Others, such as the supply of training, certifications, or documentation, aim at knowledge transfer from the platform owner to the complementor and allow an expanded perspective to the mere enablement through a more application-oriented focus (Foerderer et al, 2019). Another critical use of PBRs lies in their potential to motivate and incentivize complementors to interact and commit to the platform ecosystem on an ongoing basis (Schulz et al, 2020;Zhang et al, 2021). Examples are manifold, including supporting successful complementors with dedicated individual resources, such as customer referrals that further enhance their positioning and differentiation within the network (Cenamor, 2021;Huber et al, 2017).…”

Spatial Matching Analysis and Development Strategies of County Night-Time Economy: A Case of Anning County, Yunnan Province

“…Road lighting and greening systems play a crucial role in ensuring road safety, improving the quality of urban night scenery, and improving the living environment [63]. In addition, residents can put forward suggestions for the night-transportation system of Anning county through intelligent transportation services to realize the sustainable development of the Anning economy [64].…”
