Smart public transportation: A future framework for sustainable new cities (Case study Greater Cairo)

Abstract

Abstract In the context of the tremendous progress in information technology in all spheres of life, it is necessary to adopt more intelligence solutions to increase the quality of life and achieve sustainable cities. Currently, without a doubt, we have the ability to make all city services accessible to everybody. Transportation and mobility systems are critical components of sustainable city development. Therefore, the scientific literature on the technological systems employed in transportation systems and their primary uses is extensive, outlining their application to improving people’s quality of life through promoting a sustainable environment. Recently. There is a new generation of ITS (intelligence transportation system) resulting from the encouragement of related public policy that has been deeply integrated with new infrastructure and new technologies for improving the quality of life. The new generation of ITS technology and urban analysis and planning technology can not only meet the current problems of the coordinated development of the public transportation system and big cities like Cairo, but also meet the needs of the city’s future development in advance. This paper will discuss the transformation of intelligent public transportation, the opportunities, and applications, using technologies, and implementation in various urban areas using a case study of China’s smart transportation. Additionally, propose a future framework for sustainable transportation in new cities and the feasibility of implementing them in Egypt’s new cities. Highlight the actions and outcomes of integrating technologies, as well as their environmental, urban, economic, and social impacts. In order to develop and increase the quality of life in the cities of Egypt and the developing world in order to achieve sustainability goals.
