Urban Transportation and Mobile ICT: Mobility, Travel Behavior, and Public Policy analyzes the impacts of the massive diffusion of mobile information and communication technologies (ICT) on individual transportation behaviors, the transportation industry as a whole, and transportation and urban planning public policy. Mobile ICTs such as smart phones play a significant role in the rapid changes that mobility systems around the world are undergoing. Urban Transportation and Mobile ICT documents the extent, depth, and implications of these changes, providing an underlying theoretical basis on the concept of individual connected mobility. The book provides definitions of emerging concepts such as connected mobility, connected places, and shared modes, produces a systematic and rigorous analysis of the changes triggered by the diffusion of mobile ICTs, and examines the implications for transportation and land-use planning research and policy-making. It serves as a benchmark against which changes in a mobility system can be assessed, and challenges to public policies can be anticipated. Synthesizes existing research into one reference, providing researchers and public policy-makers with a clear and complete understanding of the underlying drivers of changeAnalyzes numerous case studies throughout Europe, North America and China - as well as key African, South-American and South-East Asian cities - providing practical illustrations of the influence mobile ICTs have on mobility systems and policy-makingProvides insights for researchers and practitioners looking to engage with the smart cities and smart mobility discourse INDICE: 1.
