Introduction to this special issue: urban analytics and mobility (part 1)

Published: 05 June 2018 Publication History

Abstract

Mobility in Urban environments is a problem of global scale. According to the latest INRIX Global Traffic Scorecard [1], drivers in the United States wasted $305 billion in 2017 alone. This number is derived from more than 11 billion liters of wasted fuel per year, and 6.9 billion of man-hours stuck in traffic per year [2]. In addition, the INRIX study shows that this problem is global. Measured per-capita, people in Russia and Thailand spend even more time in traffic, while Brazil, South Africa, the UK, and Germany are only slightly behind the US.
