Cities worldwide are undergoing a digital transformation, a technological trend widely known as\u00a0smart cities<\/a> that are changing how we interact with the world around us. One area, in particular, that is key to the development of smart cities is mobility. With an increasing number of urban dwellers, challenges such as traffic congestion and overstressed infrastructure have reached new heights for many cities. Thankfully, with technology and innovation, it comes greater opportunities in disrupting the status quo, helping people to move around in a faster, safer, and cleaner way.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

The convergence of a number of industry\u2011changing forces and technologies is ushering in an exciting new age of transportation \u2011 the era of smart mobility. In general, smart mobility encompasses a digitally connected approach to today\u2019s mobility and travel problems. It is a concept of sustainable urban mobility that uses technology to provide accessibility, integrated transportation systems, and solutions to the environmental issues caused by traffic demand.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Forward\u2011looking cities around the world have already started embracing innovation to address mobility\u2011related challenges. Smart mobility solutions might take form of intelligent transport infrastructure, digital services and mobile applications that allow a more efficient use of existing transportation systems, and new transport methods like car sharing and autonomous vehicles.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

To enable seamless and efficient travel across different modes of transportation, real\u2011time data is considered utterly useful for travellers, transport operators, and urban planners. By leveraging reliable real\u2011time data, it allows enhancement in travel experience, more efficient use of transport resources, and improvement in future infrastructure planning and transport service provision.<\/p>

In Hong Kong, transport operators have capitalised on the advent of big data and technology to bring greater convenience to travellers. Rail transport service provider\u00a0MTR Corporation<\/em> allows passengers to plan their itinerary on both its website and its mobile app, simply by entering their starting point and destination. Information such as estimated journey time, points of interchange, and ticket fares are provided. Public bus operators, namely\u00a0Kowloon Motor Bus<\/em>,\u00a0New World First Bus,<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Citybus,\u00a0<\/em>also provide real\u2011time estimated arrival times on their mobile apps as well as on display panels at bus stops.<\/p>

In addition, smart payment and ticketing services contribute to the user experience and convenience of multi\u2011model transport systems. Using a smart card to pay for transport services has become commonplace for travellers, and smart cards are increasingly being adopted in retail outlets as an urban payment system. Some examples include the Octopus card in Hong Kong, Easycard in Taipei, and Suica in Tokyo.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

With cities increasingly going cashless, there has also been a shift towards mobile\u2011based ticketing solutions for greater convenience and efficiency. E\u2011tickets with QR codes are gaining popularity as a substitute for physical tickets. As Near Field Communication (NFC) technology matures, passengers can conduct contactless payment via electronics and wearable devices such as smartphones and watches when travelling. London, for example, supports contactless payment via Apply Pay, bPay by Barclaycard, Google Pay and Samsung Pay on various transportation systems, including the London Underground, public buses, river buses and national rail.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Under the umbrella of sharing economy, there is the emergence of new forms of urban mobility such as car sharing, bike sharing, ridesharing, and on\u2011demand ride services which allow cities to take full advantage of the idle capacity of transport resources. Shared modes of transportation have the potential to offer environmental gains and address social issues, such as mitigating the effect of traffic jams and pollution and reducing the demand for limited parking spaces.<\/p>

In pursuit of a car\u2011lite future, Singapore is taking the lead globally in terms of shared mobility, according to\u00a0Deloitte City Mobility Index 2019<\/em>. By discouraging ownership of private cars through high taxes while maintaining affordable and quality public transport services, the island nation has been successful in promoting shared mobility. Its success is particularly evident in the widespread popularity of ride\u2011hailing apps\u00a0Grab<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Gojek<\/em>, as well as the availability of various car-sharing and bike-sharing operators.<\/p>

In fact, ridesharing is among some mainstream shared mobility services today, with the industry dominated by a number of global and local providers.\u00a0Uber<\/em>, for instance, operates in more than 65 countries. Other regional key players include\u00a0Lyft<\/em>\u00a0in the US,\u00a0Didi<\/em>\u00a0in Chinese Mainland, India\u2019s\u00a0Ola,<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Careem<\/em>\u00a0in the Middle East and North Africa.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Advances in sensors and the internet of things (IoT) are now offering a major leap in monitoring traffic conditions. With sophisticated analytic technology, it is now possible to detect the real\u2011time volume of vehicles and pedestrians to minimise congestion, promote walkability and detect traffic incidents.<\/p>

Alibaba<\/em>\u2019s City Brain system in Hangzhou, where the Chinese tech giant is headquartered, uses sensors and artificial intelligence (AI) to gather locational information of vehicles and analyse it in real-time to coordinate road signals and ease gridlocks around the city.\u00a0 The implementation of City Brain has helped Hangzhou improve from the fifth worst city in the country in terms of traffic congestion to 57th<\/sup>\u00a0in just two years. The City Brain system is now implemented in more than 20 cities in Chinese Mainland as well as Kuala Lumpur, the first non\u2011Chinese city to adopt this smart mobility system.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Apart from traffic jams, finding parking spots isn\u2019t easy for drivers in urban cities. In order to provide better parking experiences, cities are adopting technologies to effectively manage parking spaces and enable greater convenience to drivers. In Singapore, parking has been digitised in several ways. In large\u2011scale parking facilities such as car parks at Changi Airport<\/em>, a video\u2011based parking guidance system with sensors was installed to monitor the real\u2011time status of the car parks. Such IoT\u2011based system is able to identify licence plate numbers, detect the presence of vehicles and their entry and exit times. In terms of payment, the country has also replaced traditional paper payment coupons with e\u2011payment across all public car parks and parking spaces, where users can pay short\u2011term parking charges through mobile devices and extend their parking session remotely via the Parking.sg<\/a>\u00a0mobile app.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Electric vehicles (EVs) are proliferating globally at a rapid pace, with sales boosted by the support of governments looking to meet targets for cutting CO2 emissions. In 2019, global EV sales were close to 2.3 million.*[1] More than half (52.8%) of those were made in Chinese Mainland, where a solid commitment has been made to boost the production and adoption of EVs through extensive subsidies and tax breaks. Integration of EVs within smart cities through the provision of comprehensive battery\u2011charging facilities will call for significant reduction in transportation costs and promote a greener and more sustainable mode of transport.<\/p>

The future of urban mobility may also lie in autonomous transport, with increasing numbers of cities piloting self\u2011driving cars and rolling out driverless public transport.\u00a0Waymo<\/em>, a US self\u2011driving technology company which is a subsidiary of\u00a0Alphabet Inc.<\/em>, successfully launched the world\u2019s first self\u2011driving ride\u2011hailing service in Phoenix, Arizona, in December 2018. In Asia, cities are also fast\u2011tracking the testing of autonomous buses. The Chinese city Zhenghzou, for example, dispatched\u00a0Yutong Bus<\/em>\u2019s 5G electric self\u2011driving buses in an open\u2011road trial project in June 2019, while Singapore has launched a public trial of driverless buses in Sentosa and the campus at Nanyang Technological University.<\/p>

The arrival and increasing popularity of dynamic, smart mobility services offer promising new possibilities for making modes of transport more efficient, sustainable, and affordable, especially in developing nations such as ASEAN.<\/p>

Transportation challenges in ASEAN have been growing in scope in recent years. With a substantial population in ASEAN cities (in exception to Singapore) relying on personal vehicles to commute, it has led to congestion woes, in addition to the already insufficient public transport infrastructure and services given the urban sprawl. In Jakarta for example, the annual average number of hours that a commuter spends in traffic is estimated to be 150 hours (which equates to more than six days).*[2]<\/p>

With an eye to solve their transport\u2011related problems, ASEAN cities are actively looking to infuse smart mobility solutions and allow room for private sector innovation, and in turn, many countries outside ASEAN are ambitiously looking to seize the opportunities on offer. In late 2019, South Korea and ten ASEAN member states agreed to form a consultative body for bilateral exchanges and participation in the smart city field. In the same month, ASEAN and Chinese Mainland issued a\u00a0joint statement<\/a>\u00a0on cooperation, aiming to strengthen cooperation platforms and encourage partnerships between ASEAN and Chinese cities.\u00a0<\/p>

It is therefore opportune for Hong Kong companies to explore collaborations in advancing smart mobility developments in ASEAN. Given its forward\u2011looking smart mobility roadmap and efficient public transport system and citizen mobility, Hong Kong\u2019s smart city experience could help ASEAN cities replicate its success through collaborations and partnerships. Many ASEAN cities, such as Kuching in Malaysia, Mandalay in Myanmar, Cebu City in the Philippines and Da Nang in Vietnam all have their priorities in improving transport for their citizens through digital transformation. Some potential areas Hong Kong companies could explore include transport data analytics, traffic safety and security technologies and infrastructure, route\u2011planning mobility services, and integrated smart card and payment systems. More information on city\u2011specific focuses in ASEAN can be found\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>
