CASE STUDY
IDENTIFY THE CRITERIA THAT YOU WILL USE TO DECIDE WHICH SOLUTION IS THE BEST OR MOST PROMISING.
Traffic congestion
IDENTIFY THE UNDERLAYING OR MOST FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM IN THE SITUATION.
It can be generated by traffic accidents, disabled vehicles, road construction or maintenance, adverse weather conditions or demand fluctuation (for example during holidays). A recurrent congestion is a complex phenomenon, influenced by socioeconomic, technical, and human factors.

Enforce existing road traffic laws.
Improve perceptions of buses.
Extend residents' parking zones.
Connected infrastructure
Alternative transportation
Autonomous vehicles
Traffic management
Access to data
EVALUATE YOUR POTENTIAL SOLUTION ACCORDING TO THE CRITERIA DEVELOPED IN STEP 4
One criterion required to enable smart mobility to reduce traffic congestion is connected infrastructure. The different parts of a city’s transportation system need to be connected to the cloud: traffic lights, cars, buses, trains, bikes, people, maps, and even roads. This Internet of Things (IoT) approach allows location, speed, capacity, and other data to be collected, stored, and analyzed.
transportation optimizations, for example, by enabling real-time adjustments to traffic flows in the case of accidents or other disruptions.

A third criterion is offering compelling options to the “one car, one driver” model. For smart mobility, alternative options would need to be connected to the cloud:
Bicycle commuting: ideal for commutes of a few miles
Carsharing: rent cars by the minute or by the hour
Ridesharing (carpooling): make use of the empty seats already in the system
On-demand ride services: use personal vehicles to offer transportation services
Buses and trains: reimagining existing transportation by integrating them into end-to-end trip plans, including how to travel the last mile home
Another criterion is access to data. Cities continuously collect and produce large quantities of data for planning, production, and decision-making. Sharing this data with the private sector can help accelerate smart mobility solutions.
THINK ABOUT SOME IMPLICATIONS OF AND OBJECTIONS TO YOUR SOLUTION, AND HOW THESE NEGATIVE IMPLICATIONS AND OBJECTIONS MAY BE AVOIDED OR OVERCOME
traffic congestion causes unpredictable delay that stresses us over when we are rushing for appointment, work, and catching a flight. As if that is not bad enough, traffic jam also takes away our precious time with our family, reducing our private time and so disrupting our work-life balance.
Traffic congestion is no fun for anyone, but it's deadly for public transport. When buses and trams are stuck in traffic jams they fall behind schedule and, because this means that more people will be waiting at the next stops, they fall even further behind schedule leading to bunching and compounding delays.
Possible solutions include carpooling or using public transportation. The best way to solve traffic jams is by using public transportation because it will be efficient, economical, and reliable. First, using public transportation is efficient.
o solve this problem, the government should encourage people to use public transport or vehicles with small size such as bicycles or make tax on private vehicles.
