ABSTRACT

The private car dependency is prevalent due to its comfort, privacy, and convenience. However, it is challenging for the cities in environmental and economic aspects. The widespread car use arises from the urban network and land use pattern besides peoples' personal preferences. The study's concern is reducing car dependency. The study questions "how to empower behavior change with the use of smart mobility applications for sustainable mobility." The study aims to promote travel behavior change by leveraging technology through an integrated smart system design proposal, which is entitled Sustainability Aware Travel Service (SATS). SATS offers a smart mobile application for the citizens and a connected data platform for the decision-makers. The SATS platform bridges these different actors: the app aggregates the user travel data, and the data platform monitors user data to support mobility-related decisions. The paper presents a conceptual framework of this system. This paper aims to contribute to existing smart mobility applications by promoting active mobility modes, cycling, and walking.
