CITY EXPERT VOICE
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 %).
