Smart Mobility:
Using Technology to Improve Transportation in Smart Cities

A unique practioners perspective on best approaches for success

The authors believe that the smart mobility revolution is well underway. This involves the application of emerging technologies, new business practices and new business models to transportation. This book is designed to enable the reader to get the most from the smart mobility revolution by providing the following:

  • A set of tools and knowledge (not recipes) to enable the most effective application of smart mobility revolution elements
  • A focus on what can be done, and why. Not a detailed “how-to” manual
  • The raw materials to enable practitioners to develop customized approaches to smart mobility implementation worldwide
  • An entry point to the world of smart mobility
  • A collection of a diverse subject materials that are relevant to smart mobility
  • A global view of progress, lessons learned and practical experiences
  • Information on the availability of innovative data sets and emerging data science
  • An exploration of opportunities and challenges, explaining the best way to approach these through benefit cost analysis, planning, policy, and organizational arrangements

The materials are drawn from more than 70 years of combined experience in the application of advanced technology to transportation around the globe. It draws on both public and private sector perspectives to provide a complete picture of the best way to approach the smart mobility revolution

Research

Applied research and reports

Applied research that turns shared challenges into practical guidance for cities, industry, and academia. The R3 report series is freely available to download.

R3R1 Emerging Technologies for Transportation System Management and Operations

This report evaluates emerging technologies transforming transportation management across urban and rural contexts. Principal innovations include AI-driven traffic forecasting, connected-vehicle ecosystems, IoT sensor networks, and advanced data-analytics platforms. Collectively, these technologies enable reduced congestion, improved safety, better environmental outcomes, and more efficient resource allocation for transportation agencies.

R3:R2 1000 City Analysis

This report explores the critical infrastructure parameters across the world’s 1000 largest urban centers. It was prepared as part of the development project for Wiligence, to collect data for ML and city modeling. It also represents a unique examination of transportation networks, vehicle usage, smart facility distribution, operational costs, and environmental impacts that shape modern cities. The analysis provides valuable insights for urban planners, policymakers, and technology providers focused on creating more efficient, sustainable, and livable urban environments.

R3R3 Digital Twin

Will be published in the 4th quarter of 2026

R3R4 Automated Enforcement Systems

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start writing!

This report explores modern automated enforcement systems that generate large volumes of data that, when properly analyzed, can drive continuous performance optimization, identify emerging safety challenges, and support predictive deployment strategies that maximize safety outcomes while minimizing operational costs

P2P Knowledge Exchange Networks
A research stream running across every R3 report — real-time knowledge exchange between agencies, data-driven management through pooled analytical methods, and collaborative innovation between practitioners and technology pioneers.
Wiligence

Wisdom, Intelligence, Diligence — SMC’s decision-support toolbox for smart mobility. Online tools for benefit-cost analysis, conceptual design, and life cycle cost-benefit assessment, incorporating Multi-Attribute Utility Theory so stakeholder preferences shape outcomes.

In development. Minimum Viable Product being built in association with Western University.
