2. Mobility Smart Mobility 2030 focuses on four focal areas of mobility: informative, interactive, assistive, and green (Smart Mobility 2030, 2014): 2.1 Singapore smart mobility overview • The informative mobility pillar ensures that high-quality transport information is available and meets diverse needs In 2019, the City Mobility Index produced by Deloitte Insights (Smart Mobility 2030, 2014); estimated that Singaporeans spend around eleven hours • The interactive mobility pillar enhances travelers’ experience per year in traffic congestion and pay about eighty-eight US with smart interactivity leveraged by ITS initiatives (Smart dollars for a public transport pass. The main mobility actor is Mobility 2030, 2014); the LTA, a government body. The main forms of mobility used • The assistive pillar ensures a safe and secure environment by Singaporeans are as follows (Deloitte Insights, City Mobility (Smart Mobility 2030, 2014); Index, 2019): • The green mobility pillar ensures that the program is •Use of a private car: 29 percent of the population; environmentally friendly (Smart Mobility 2030, 2014). •Use of public transit: 40 percent of the population; •Walking: 22 percent of the population; 2.3 Concrete solutions for public transport and traffic •Use of a bicycle: 1 percent of the population; congestion Singapore has key mobility-related strengths that are helping to Many technological advancements facilitate the routine journeys consolidate the city’s position as a global leader in city mobility: that Singaporeans make every day. The PublicTransport@SG High income levels and living standards in Singapore help to website10 was launched back in 2008; it aims to help residents • support the public transport system (Deloitte Insights, City to plan their trips across the city (Smart Mobility 2030, 2014).

MyTransport.SG represents an worldwide in terms of mobility, and the government is increasingly improvement on the earlier platform, because it centralizes focusing on equipment available from Transition Networks (a critical information that helps drivers to make smart choices Minneapolis-based company) and ensuring access to high-quality based on real-time data. Still, a need for the same type of data collection (Deloitte Insights, City Mobility Index 2019). information can be detected for industry players in order to enhance their products. Therefore, in 2011, DataMall@ The Deloitte Insights report estimates that Singapore is “on MyTransport was created to facilitate industry players’ track to attain a highly sustainable transportation system information-sharing processes (Smart Mobility 2030, 2014). with the increased testing of autonomous vehicles” (Deloitte Insights, City Mobility Index, 2019). Although bicycle use is far The LTA understood early on that there was a need to optimize lower in Singapore than it is in bicycle-dominated cities like Singapore’s roads using technology (Smart Mobility 2030, Amsterdam, the government plans to create seven hundred 2014). Therefore, the “expansion of the Expressway Monitoring kilometers of bicycle lanes by 2030 (Deloitte Insights, City System and Advisory System (EMAS) has been expanded to 10 Mobility Index, 2019). significant roads” (Smart Mobility 2030, 2014). Variable message signs are strategically placed on streets to alert drivers about 2.2 Smart mobility 2030 speed limits, traffic jams, and road accidents in real time, and six hundred video detection cameras are in use to reduce traffic Singapore’s Intelligent Transport System (ITS) plays an congestion (Smart Mobility 2030, 2014). essential role in the city-state. Since its creation in 1995, the LTA has worked closely with the ITS to optimize Singapore’s Other technology implementations facilitate motorists’ transportation network. In 2014, the ITS and the LTA formulated journeys—for example, the Parking Guidance System, which Smart Mobility 2030, a fifteen-year master plan to enhance the provides real-time information to drivers. Moreover, to ensure Singaporean travel experience and introduce technological that everyone is included within the master plan, the ITS has improvements (Smart Mobility 2030, 2014). installed Green Man Plus (GM+) to help the elderly to cross (10) https://www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltagov/en/getting_around.html (Accessed on 10 June 2021). 152 Quélin and Smadja | HEC PARIS | SMART CITIES | The sustainable program of six leading cities | 2021
