| Abstract |
Products and services offered under the smart city umbrella cut across numerous city operations and systems that benefit a range of stakeholders. Increasing urban populations raise the needs for innovative systems that are capable of regulating the use of resources within cities. City inhabitants are first-hand victims of the potential problems accompanying urban living. Much often, the inputs from these inhabitants are ignored in the process of developing intelligent cities. With traffic congestion being one of the predominant problems of city life, this paper investigates smart transport trends in the UK. The paper reviews publicly available evidences to gather an overview of the current state of smart transport in the UK. In conclusion, this research proposes increased citizen involvement for developing smarter and sustainable transport options across the country. To effectively understand the challenges of urban living, the responsible bodies should facilitate resident engagement for addressing concerns affecting everyday living. |
