Abstract

The concept of a ‘smart city’ emerged from studies in urbanism, combined with information and communications technologies (ICTs). Several cities worldwide are trying to build intelligence into existing systems to increase the efficiency of transport management. Transport management systems and software tools have effectively curtail traffic woes around some megacities of the world. Today, geospatial data and mapping are among the technologies that cities use the most. This article focuses on the transport aspect of smart cities to respond to smart cities’ issues. To understand a little better the applications of a smart city on transport, we present a case study about the city of Montreal in Quebec, Canada.
