“…Ultimately, the goal is more sustainable and well-functioning urban surroundings, with the ability to provide better QoL to the citizens by efficient, secure, and sustainable mobility, energy technology, digitalization, and ICT solutions. Smart transport, including individual mobility and public transport, seeks to support and exploit new ways of, e.g., e-mobility systems, self-driving vehicles (not part of the IRIS project), continuous mobility chains and mobility services, which are not only efficient and user-friendly, but cost-effective as well [18][19][20][21].…”

“…Transmission from private car ownership towards car sharing, self-driving vehicles, and enhanced smart public transport services and increased connectivity, result in more sustainable transport in general, with decreased traffic volume and emission levels, being optimized to meet the demands and requirements of inter-modality. Smart public transport systems are highly flexible, providing consumers more versatility in transport modes, routes, schedules, service providers and payment systems [20,21].…”

“…Additionally, the safety factors of traffic can be enhanced, and pollution and noise levels mitigated. Furthermore, smart mobility contributes to the overall design of smart cities by transport network's efficiency, better management of parking spaces, and advancing public transport's usage rate and its supporting policies [18,19,21,22].…”

The global trend of urbanization and growing environmental awareness have risen concerns and demands to develop cities to become smarter. There is a grave need for ambitious sustainability strategies and projects, which can aid cities intelligently and comprehensively in this task. European Union (EU) launched 2014 the Horizon 2020 program (aka Horizon Europe), aiming to encourage the EU nations and their cities to take action to reach carbon neutrality through projects striving to smart city development. By promoting innovative, efficient, far-reaching, and replicable solutions, from the fields of smart energy production and consumption, traffic and mobility, digitalization and information communication technology, and citizen engagement, the objectives of the smart city strategies can be achieved. Horizon 2020 funded IRIS Smart Cities project was launched in 2017. One of the follower cities in the project has been the City of Vaasa in Finland. Vaasa’s climate objective is to reach carbon neutrality by 2030. In order to achieve this goal, the city has taken several decisive measures to enhance de-carbonization during recent years. One essential target for de-carbonization activities has been traffic and mobility. The primary purpose of the research conducted was to study the smart mobility, vehicle-to-grid (V2G), and second life battery solutions in the IRIS Smart Cities project, demonstrated first by the Lighthouse cities and then to be replicated in the City of Vaasa. The aim was to study which importance and prioritization these particular integrated solutions would receive in the City of Vaasa’s replication plan led by the City of Vaasa’s IRIS project task team of 12 experts, with the contribution of the key partners and stakeholders. Additionally, the aim was to study the potential of the integrated solutions in question to be eventually implemented in the Vaasa environment, and the benefit for the city’s ultimate strategy to reach carbon neutrality by 2030. The secondary object was to study the solutions’ compatibility with the IRIS lighthouse cities’ demonstrations and gathered joined experiences concerning the smart and sustainable mobility and vehicle-to-grid solutions, and utilization of 2nd life batteries. The results of the research indicated, that the innovative smart mobility solutions, including vehicle-to-grid and second life battery schemes, are highly relevant not only to the IRIS Lighthouse cities, but they also present good potential for the City of Vaasa in the long run, being compatible with the city’s climate and de-carbonization goals.

“…• # Of metro/bus passengers: 2.5 billion passengers/year. 7 According to the above information, these indicators are related to the factors of public transportation and accessibility. The city government has focused its efforts on creating a diversified system; that facilitates the mobility of the population, while offering a portfolio of optimal possibilities that meet the needs of the user.…”

“…Mobility has been a challenge for cities around the world due to the different problems present in this environment, traffic congestion, deterioration of road infrastructure, accidents, gas and noise generation [6] are just some examples. This is why developed cities have worked to find technological solutions such as the implementation of IoT, Big Data, automated, hybrid or electronic vehicles [7], converting conventional transport into intelligent transport, optimizing and improving the quality of service for citizens [8]. A specific case is the European Union, ASTESJ ISSN: 2415-6698 that is constantly working on investment projects for the construction of smart cities [9], in total they have developed 81 projects, 70 have already culminated and 11 are still ongoing, of which 33 have addressed issues in mobility and transport [10].…”

The following document analyzes the current situation in mobility and intelligent transportation in Colombia and in some cities around the world. Presenting several cases of success and implementation of technologies and protocols that seek to improve the problems with the greatest impact in today's cities, such as traffic congestion, environmental impact, accessibility, and road safety. The main objective of this research is to propose recommendations appropriate for transportation systems in Colombian cities, identifying the present challenges; therefore, through this article we will expand the panorama on ITS (Intelligent Transport System) that can be developed taking into account the needs of each territory; optimizing the strategies proposed and in turn considering the solutions that are being carried out; taking them as a guide for cities that are still in search of better mobility plans.

Over‐urbanization poses important challenges—both for citizen well‐being and quality of life, and for the sustainability of our planet. Traffic, accidents and pollution are just a few of the problems facing people living in cities. The need arises, then, to foster sustainable urban planning and management using, among other elements, smart solutions. In such a context, we would do well to reflect on effective economic, social, and environmental policies aimed at achieving sustainable cities and high quality of life for urban inhabitants. This article presents the most relevant aspects of the #eCity‐Sevilla project, a successful case of a sustainable public‐private innovation ecosystem. To this end, we take the Quintuple Helix Model as our reference, with a view to identify project stakeholders and better understand their relationships and objectives. Our data derives from secondary sources as well as from a set of in‐depth interviews with key informants. In the final section, the main theoretical and practical implications of our study are discussed.
