The exponential growth of the population living in urban centers has contributed to intensifying problems related to various aspects of mobility. In this context, information technology has been widely used as an important resource for building solutions aimed at overcoming infrastructure and urbanism deficiencies, collecting information in its multiple contexts, and constructing tools for management, planning, and other resources necessary for the development of smarter forms of mobility. This qualitative article was conducted through research and bibliographic analysis where, through a systematic literature review (SLR), it investigated the different IT solutions applied in mitigating the consequences of urban mobility problems. 400 studies analyzing 72 distinct approaches to mobility were identified and classified into 16 application groups. The objective was to map the multiple aspects of sustainable urban mobility researched by the academic community in recent years. Additionally, the article highlights the Mobility as a Service (MaaS) approach.

“…After the European Parliament adopted the EU Climate Law in 2021 [32], member countries have more clear targets to achieve, and public authorities are encouraged to consider GHG emissions in their daily operations. Several cities and transportation authorities have already taken measures [33] to successfully implement the green shift in city transportation [34,35].…”

The maritime sector aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Consequently, shipping companies are investigating efficient and optimal ways to minimize greenhouse gas emissions. One of these measures includes vessels that operate on alternative non-carbon fuels. In this study, we compared a diesel-fuelled catamaran’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and its fully electric sister vessel, which operates on the same line. This study showed that the GHG emissions of the electric vessel were only 25% of those of its diesel-powered sister vessel. However, this figure highly depends on the source of electricity in the operating country. In this case, the energy cost of the fully electric vessel was 31% cheaper than the cost of diesel energy and the payback time without possible subsidy for replacing a diesel ferry with an electric one would be 17 years and 6 months. We also showed that the additional energy from solar panels sufficiently covers several application options for consumers even in winter, when there is low solar energy production. This study brings more insight into the academic literature on decreasing maritime CO2 emissions from city water traffic. Regarding its managerial implications, our study findings can be used when shipping companies evaluate options for reducing their emissions. The results of this study show that using fully electric vessels has major benefits not only concerning carbon emissions but also financially.

“…This method is more e cient to monitor emissions from vehicles and measure their impact on air quality at street level, but more variables and data are needed. (Pla, et al, 2021). Lack of data and insu cient spatial and temporal resolution are the main issues in this approach, which generates di culties to make decisions (Pla, et al, 2021).…”

“…These technologies should be more functional, tailored to the demands of cities and users, and promote and accelerate climate action (GCoM, 2021). Although decision makers play a key role in ensuring that local government plans are understandable and trackable by the public and other authorities, they lack the necessary tools to follow and support their strategic goals at the local level (Pla, et al, 2021). Geospatial dashboard provides to measure and monitor the city's performance by using large and heterogeneous geospatial data produced daily in the city (Jing, Du, Li, & Liu, 2019).…”

The measurement and monitoring emissions that could be attributed to transportation are highly on demand, since transportation is generally considered as the main source of greenhouse gases. However, several barriers are apparent such as data challenges, national/regional/local emission calculations and lacking efficient tools to measure the performance and progress of counter measures. Furthermore, available open data sources, tools and software are not adequately incorporated. Within this study, in order to facilitate decision-makers on such challenges a web-based geospatial dashboard service is designed to calculate and monitor real-time vehicle emissions. The concepts and the framework is validated in five districts of Istanbul, where Istanbul is prominent with its urban transport challenges. The model, geospatial dashboard, proposed user-friendly and fit-for-purpose, is open-sourced and complies with the national spatial standards. Via utilizing the dashboard, it is possible to monitor emissions from vehicles and uncover spatial patterns with the help of interactive map and graphics. The service provided could help decision makers to perform the technically difficult monitoring process seamlessly, where policymakers could focus on combatting climate change and greenhouse gases. Additionally, the proposed service is easily adaptable to Istanbul and other cities.
