Exploring Smart Cities: Maximizing the Impact of Big Data on Smart Mobility

Abstract

In the contemporary era, smart cities represent a synergy of technology, urban development, and ecological sustainability, with big data at the forefront, offering profound insights for revolutionizing city living. However, the challenge of transforming this vast data influx into practical wisdom persists. This research investigates the complex relationship between smart cities and the utilization of big data for enhancing urban mobility. Despite extensive research, the conversion of data into a strategic asset sparks debate, driven by advancements in analytics, methodologies, and practices. This study navigates the realm of big data within the framework of smart cities, focusing on smart mobility as a crucial component of urban infrastructure. It addresses the hurdles encountered by both academic and industry sectors in converting data into implementable strategies. Our discussion promotes a collaborative approach among scholars, business leaders, and government entities to convert emerging challenges into opportunities, setting the stage for a smarter, sustainable urban future. © 2024 Gursoy and Yucelen.
