Switching between apps and digital devices is as easy as breathing. Sometimes this continuity extends into the physical world as well.<\/p>\n
One tap to book a shared car. Another to pay for it. If you are lucky, your vehicle is instantly ready for pickup.<\/p>\n
\u2026Or you get a reality check: no available cars in your area, heavy congestion, and exorbitant parking costs no one warned you about.<\/p>\n
Is it possible to transfer the seamless digital experiences of mobility solutions into the physical realm?<\/p>\n
Yes. That\u2019s what smart mobility platforms intend to do.<\/p>\n
Smart mobility is an umbrella term for physical and IT infrastructure that enables better transportation experiences. It includes optimized public transit networks, carsharing, ride-hailing, micromobility, and intelligent transportation systems for freight and logistics.<\/p>\n
Some also count in future mobility nodes such as urban aerial vehicles, logistics drones, and (semi)-autonomous vehicles into the growing ecosystem of smart mobility as a service (MaaS) solutions.<\/p>\n
