Shared Mobility offers a current view on one of the most significant economic activities in recent years. While most studies investigate shared mobility services and transportation piecemeal by city, mode, or company, this book focuses on transportation network companies themselves, highlighting shared bikes and E-scooters. Sections cover how they perform at the local or regional level in an effort to help governments better plan and regulate these emerging services. Shared Mobility explores the opportunities and challenges in these new systems and provides a thorough and succinct reference text for researchers, graduate students, and professionals in the fields of transportation planning, transportation engineering, and urban planning.

New Publication Now Available!The rate of population growth in urban areas has steadily increased for decades. To meet this unprecedented rate of urbanization, city systems and infrastructure are becoming highly adaptable and sustainable as they work on becoming "Smart Cities". Smart City initiatives are based on the use of interconnected, data-collecting devices. These devices include sensors that have been networked together, personal devices with information and communication technology (ICT) such as smartphones, and Internet of Things (or IoT) devices. Smart Cities involve many different technologies in equally as many areas. Practically every part of city life is now able to be observed, analyzed, and improved with new technologies. In this book, we will explore the foundation of Smart City technologies, gain an in-depth understanding of how Smart Cities operate in the fields of transportation, buildings, infrastructure, public safety and security, policy and regulation, and finally we will look into the future to see what is emerging in the quickly progressing field of Smart Cities.
