\u200bWhen cities were born, no one imagined so many people would exist in the same place and need smart mobility solutions<\/a>. The world has gone from villages to metropoles with millions of residents.<\/p>\n When you build a family home, you design a project that considers all areas of the land: where you want the house, the swimming pool, etc. Now imagine you buy the lot next to yours and want to expand your house. The second project will be an extension of the first. But the two projects won\u2019t be fully integrated, as you didn\u2019t consider the neighboring lot initially.<\/p>\n That\u2019s what happened to cities! \u200b<\/p>\n With population growth, many problems and smart mobility challenges started to appear. Increased pollution and more traffic jams, for example, are caused not only by more cars but also by neglecting the importance of such\u00a0smart city mobility solutions as parking arrangements \u2013 which are usually responsible for about 30% of a city\u2019s traffic and 10% of its CO2 emissions<\/a>. Population growth also makes it harder for cities to have efficient public transportation systems, as distances increase and there\u2019s more demand on the system. There\u2019s a need for new lines as part of intelligent mobility solutions and for more efficient planning of how resources are used. When we speak about private transportation, an increase in the number of cars and old street layouts also makes it harder for traffic flow optimization.<\/p>\n But beyond these easy-to-identify smart mobility challenges exist other problems related to security, tax compliance, and so on.\u200bAnd how did we realize the need for smart mobility city solutions?<\/h2>\n
