The paper explores the transformative advancements in urban mobility through the lens of smart transportation. With the rapid increase in urbanization, traditional transportation systems have faced numerous challenges, including congestion, pollution, and inefficiencies. The integration of technology has paved the way for innovative solutions that aim to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of urban transportation networks. This abstract discusses the key developments in smart transportation systems, such as autonomous vehicles, integrated traffic management systems, and the rise of electric vehicles. It highlights how these technologies are reshaping urban landscapes, improving the quality of life for city dwellers, and contributing to a greener environment. Furthermore, the paper examines the current and future impacts of these advancements on urban mobility, emphasizing the need for comprehensive planning and implementation to create a seamless, efficient, and sustainable urban ecosystem.
