For cities, the search for
new mobility solutions for
inhabitants is becoming a
question of survival in view
of urban growth. Amsterdam,
for example, is already
staging a radical shift from
private car and public
transport to cycling.

Active traffic and congestion management is cited as the
most urgent urban mobility issue by the city planners we surveyed,
with 32% putting this top of their to-do list. Actively managing
traffic flows enables cities to increase peak capacity of mobility
infrastructure and to react instantly to emission hot-spots
(e.g. dynamic routing and variable speed limits based on current
traffic and pollution conditions). Also, city planners aim to reduce
the number of individually used and owned vehicles by favoring
sharing models (22%) and Mobility-as-a-Service solutions (21%).
In this context, the importance of a reliable and capable mobile
data network is seen to enable new mobility solutions (10%).
