== Abstract ==

​

Faced with the challenge of providing             adequate transport services with limited resources, cities             have, for several decades, been investing in Intelligent             Transportation Systems (ITS). ITS utilize Information and             Communications Technology (ICT) to make more efficient use             of existing transport infrastructure with the aim of             improving transport services and reducing congestion,             accidents, and air pollution. In the past two decades, with             the rapid advancement of ICT and intensive advocacy from big             technology vendors, the concept of ‘smart cities’ has gained             great popularity and many cities have started to undertake a             more holistic approach to improving urban services using             technology in the name of smart city initiatives. Section             two introduces these themes, which serve as the analytical             framework to understand how smart mobility investments lead             to energy savings. The comparison in the search for             similarities among the case studies and interviews helped us             develop a conceptual model, emphasizing cause and effect and             presented in section three, of how ITS deployment and             operation in the context of smart cities leads to energy             saving benefits. This conceptual model is presented with             detailed discussions of institutional, technological, and             physical conditions at each step in the model. Section four             focuses on energy savings with quantitative evidence of             energy saving potential of ITS investments collected from             literature and case studies. Section five links the results             of this study to the Wuhan Integrated Transport Development             Project and how the knowledge has been incorporated into             project design. To further explore the energy efficiency             potential of Wuhan and to mainstream ITS and smart transport             solutions as a source of achieving energy efficiency using             results of this study, a TRACE analysis was also completed             as part of this research effort. This analysis focused on             the passenger transport sector. Finally, policy             recommendations on the major conditions under which ITS             investments in the context of smart cities achieve energy             savings are summarized in Section 6 with specific             implications for cities in the developing countries.
