SMART MOBILITY IN SMART CITIES

Análisis de actuaciones de movilidad inteligente en las ciudades pertenecientes a la Red Española de Ciudades Inteligentes (RECI).\udCities are currently undergoing a transformation into the Smart concept, like Smartphones\udor SmartTV. Many initiatives are being developed in the framework of the Smart Cities\udprojects, however, there is a lack of consistent indicators and methodologies to assess,\udfinance, prioritize and implement this kind of projects. Smart Cities projects are classified\udaccording to six axes: Government, Mobility, Environment, Economy, People and Living.\ud(Giffinger, 2007)\udThe main objective of this research is to develop an evaluation model in relation to the\udmobility concept as one of the six axes of the Smart City classification and apply it to the\udSpanish cities. The evaluation was carried out in the 62 cities that made up in September\ud2015 the Spanish Network of Smart Cities (RECI- Red Española de Ciudades Inteligentes).\udThis research is part of a larger project about Smart Cities’ evaluation (+CITIES), the project\udevaluates RECI’s cities in all the axes.\udThe analysis was carried out taking into account sociodemographic indicators such as the\udsize of the city or the municipal budget per inhabitant. The mobility’s evaluation in those\udcities has been focused in: sustainability mobility urban plans and measures to reduce the\udnumber of vehicles. The 62 cities from the RECI have been evaluated according to their\uddegree of progress in several Smart Cities’ initiatives related to smart mobility. The applied\udmethodology has been specifically made for this project. The grading scale has different\udranks depending on the deployment level of smart cities’ initiatives
