New approaches for integrated mobility management in congested cities

The congestion that many cities suffer usually has a great negative impact on socioeconomic and environmental conditions. In general it is difficult to associate to specify the cause of the congestion, because it depends on several factors. Therefore, it becomes necessary to put in practice measures and technologies that minimize the impact of these factors, but in a coordinated and integrated way to guarantee optimization of the mobility conditions in the city. A new approach entails the definition of an organizational and technological frame that establishes the guidelines for the mobility management. In an organizational level the measures and its scopes are established, so that, the technological tools that are applied help in the practice to develop a model of efficient and sustainable mobility in the city. The purpose of this paper is to present tools of implementation of management solutions for urban mobility that successfully integrate advanced traffic light control, traffic engineering, computer vision, communications, information platforms, management of public transport, management and regulation parking lots, detection and management of violations and promoting the use of electric vehicles.
