Middle east smart mobility, challenges & innovations

Urban cities in the Middle East are facing challenges of urban congestion, traffic safety and air pollution. Rather than just investing in roads and public transport systems, Smart Cities applications (Smart Mobility) are able to provide efficient, sustainable and data driven urban transportation networks that can be used by governments to mitigate traffic collisions and improve traffic congestion and reduce CO2 emissions as well as making transportation more accessible and affordable.
