Introduction
A well-functioning community infrastructure, of which energy (power), water and wastewater,
solid waste disposal, information and communications technology and transportation are essential
elements, is critical to the quality of life and economic productivity of any city or human settlement.
Transportation plays a highly visible role in the lives of residents, ensuring people can get to work,
engage in social activities, take part in commerce and access cultural institutions and any other amenity
the city offers. In addition, transportation networks are needed for the distribution of goods throughout
a city or region. Inadequate or poorly designed transportation systems can create significant economic
costs from lost productivity, environmental impacts and health problems.
The features and services provided by such infrastructures are intended to assist people in communities
with their businesses and lives, and to help stimulate activities to promote their businesses and enhance
their lives by providing opportunities to come to, stay in and move within/outside communities. People
do not want to spend all their time at home or in an office, even though improved information and
communication technologies would bring them possibilities to do business or take action anywhere
they like and anytime without moving. There is more to life than just business supported by electronic
communication. People want to be able to move around independently and see, hear, touch, taste and
smell directly what they have an interest in.
Transportation networks can be very complex, interweaving many different modes: by air, ship, ferry,
train, truck and passenger vehicle, and by human-powered modes, like walking or biking. In particular,
transportation serviced for intra-/inter-city communication by commuter rail, inter-city rail, high-
speed rail, metro, trams, monorail, light rail transit, automated guideway transit systems, buses,
trucks, ferries and air vehicles is popular and convenient for people, including the disabled, the elderly
and those whose physical performance is declining, working or living in communities and coming to or
out from there. This is because such means of transportation successfully convey passengers, delivery
items and freight in large lots, punctually and at low cost, supported by established basic technologies
that have developed over a long period and that are still being steadily improved even now. Cities need
to have transportation systems that meet the needs of a diverse group of users, including commuters
both within and outside the city, persons with disabilities and the elderly, and those shipping freight or
other goods and parcels.
This document describes how transportation is planned, designed, implemented, operated, maintained
and upgraded to take into account the points of view of different stakeholders, including the residents
and governing authorities of communities, as well as the needs of the environment. This document also
outlines minimum conditions to be respected in the performance of transportation systems, even after
they have been installed, in order to realize the objectives of a smart transportation infrastructure,
i.e. economically efficient transportation systems that meet or exceed user needs while minimizing
environmental impact.
Decisions ranging from large-scale planning and investments to individual choices can shape the impact
of transportation systems on a city. Decision makers need to think critically about transportation modes,
as well as the features and services of those modes, to ensure the positive impacts of transportation
infrastructure outweigh the potential negative impacts. In addition, given that populations and
technologies change, decision makers need to monitor transportation systems to ensure that they
continue to meet transportation goals. This document describes the smart transportation objectives
and offers support for the development of integrated urban mobility plans, including the selection and
application of transportation services.

4 Fundamentals
4.1 Basic ideas and goals
The suitability or applicability of any particular technology or services to a smart transportation
solution depends on the transportation mode and its technical and/or business case characteristics.
Smart transportation solutions support sustainable community development and align with the
standards and existing framework that also support that goal. For example, ISO 37101:2016 identifies
six areas critical for the development of smart and sustainable communities:
— attractiveness;
— preservation and improvement of the environment;
— resilience;
— responsible use of resources;
— social cohesion;
— well-being.
The objectives listed below, which demand smart transportation solutions, all support the overarching
goals of ISO 37101:2016, Table A.1.
In addition, the 14 community needs identified in ISO/TS 37151:2015 that infrastructure performance
should be measured against (availability, accessibility, affordability, safety and security, quality
of services, operational efficiency, economic efficiency, performance information availability,
maintainability, resilience, effective resource use, climate change mitigation, pollution prevention, and
eco-system conservation) align with one or more of the objectives listed below (see Table A.2).

ISO 37154:2017(E)
Objectives to be considered when evaluating the performance of transportation in the context of
achieving smart transportation are as follows:
— to provide all persons, including children, the disabled, the elderly and those whose physical
performance is declining, and economic actors with the means for convenient and productive lives
and economic activity;
— to promote lifestyles that are not dependent on private automobiles;
— to promote transit-oriented development;
— to ensure convenient access to city markets, resources and amenities;
— to stimulate economic activity in downtowns or economically depressed areas of the city;
— to increase the city’s competitiveness and status compared to other cities regionally, nationally or
globally;
— to decrease the impact of human activities on the environment;
— to plan and develop transportation facilities and services based on well-sourced, stakeholder driven
plans that consider budget resources and pay-back periods, safety and security, facility capacity
versus projected need and environmental impacts;
— to preserve and enhance the scenic, aesthetic, historic, cultural and environmental resources of the
community.
4.2 Location and objective for the development and installation of transportation
infrastructures to provide smart transportation solutions
4.2.1 General
Transportation features and services should be selected and applied to achieve smart transportation
solutions either within a single community or between communities within a larger region.
Transportation investments should be prioritized to achieve one or more of the objectives listed in 4.1,
when the transportation is subsidized. To aid in the process of prioritizing the issues transportation
infrastructures should address, community decision makers should develop an integrated urban
mobility plan that identifies factors that shape transportation needs and choices and compares these
factors to those that shape the smart community objectives.
EXAMPLE 1 Karlsruhe, Germany, is the first city to successfully organize through operation of LRT rolling
stock between LRT lines in the city centre and heavy rail lines by Deutsche Bahn. By starting the passenger
services in 1992, the LRT network was serviced in a wider area including the city centre and suburbs resulting in
easy commutation for the people living and working in the area covered with the services.
EXAMPLE 2 Nagoya, Japan, installed a specific bus system or guided bus transportation. Basically, Nagoya
City and the areas surrounding it have bus services as inside transportation for each city or area. However, the
passengers’ number increased, who commute between Nagoya and the surrounding areas. To provide a higher
capacity for the commutation but not to change the transportation mode or bus that the citizens are already used
to, Nagoya City installed a bus transportation system running vehicles inside Nagoya City and in the surrounding
areas as a normal bus and between Nagoya City and the areas as a rapid bus running in an exclusive guideway.
4.2.2 Location where transportation infrastructures should be installed to achieve smart
transportation solutions
Transportation infrastructures for smart transportation solutions may be installed in the following
locations:
— within a region or a community;
— on routes connecting regions;
© ISO 2017 – All rights reserved 3
---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
ISO 37154:2017(E)
— on interfaces of transportation inside/outside communities;
— as improvements to existing transportation infrastructures.
An integrated urban mobility plan should, to the maximum extent practicable, identify for users the
factors that shape the locational needs of transportation infrastructures, such as:
— size, location and demographics of residential population centres within and surrounding the city
or community;
— location of low- and moderate- income households and the distance to affordable public
transportation, as well as the potential impact improvements to transportation infrastructures
could have on housing affordability;
— size and location of areas of commercial activity and employment within and outside the community;
— flow of freight and/or goods through a community;
— inventory of existing transportation facilities and assets;
— current transportation patterns, including mode use and traffic levels;
— current costs of the transportation system;
— environmental impacts of current transportation activity.
4.2.3 Objectives for smart transportation infrastructures
When making decisions about transportation infrastructures, planners should identify the options:
— to transport people, freight and goods safely, reliably, conveniently, efficiently and economically;
— to provide transportation services that satisfy demand;
— to reduce environmental impact without reducing the quality of the transportation services;
— to improve the efficiency of connections between different modes of transportation;
— to reduce the total energy usage of the transportation infrastructure;
— to make transportation operation economically sustainable while ensuring it is affordable and
accessible to all users;
— to improve communication to the public about all aspects of transportation services.
The above-mentioned objectives can be achieved by ensuring the transportation systems to be installed:
— to convey passengers, delivery items and freight safely;
— to convey passengers, delivery items and freight, especially when they are in a large lot;
— to convey passengers, delivery items and freight at a time;
— to convey passengers, delivery items and freight on time;
— to convey passengers, delivery items and freight as planned;
— to convey passengers, delivery items and freight at a low cost;
— to provide dense networks for transport;
— to provide frequent services for transport;

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
ISO 37154:2017(E)
— to provide successful and easy connection for transport between different transportation systems
or modes;
— to communicate where no public transportation is available;
— to communicate anytime, especially without being concerned about public transportation schedules;
— to communicate at convenience of passengers and senders/recipients of delivery items and freight;
— to communicate personally while securing privacy;
— to control total energy saving/consumption for transportation;
— to lower environmental load without degradation in service quality of transport operation.
With planning integrated urban transportation, the plan should enable:
— the transport of people and goods safely, reliably, efficiently and economically;
— the provision of networks appropriate for transportation needs, especially investing in and
improving existing infrastructures;
— the creation of frequent services for transport;
— the provision of efficient connections for transport between different transportation systems
or modes;
— the lowering of the total energy saving/consumption for transportation;
— the lowering of environmental impact without degradation in service quality of transport operation;
— the economically stable operation of transportation with fares that are reasonable or payable by
local citizens.
4.3 Consideration of city planning
Selection of transportation features and services should fit together with city or regional planning and
planning covering national boundary areas to provide smart transportation solutions in communities
including national boundary areas. Such planning includes plans listed below:
— master plans for a city and a region (e.g. urban structures, use of land);
— general plans for transportation in a city and a region;
— master plans for a city and a region including national boundary areas (e.g. urban structures, use
of land, sightseeing and exchange induction, welfare, local economy, housing and the residential
environment, natural environment preservation, disaster prevention);
— general plans for an area having cities;
— developing plans using transportation services for a huge area fondly called a megalopolis;
— general plans for inter-city transportation networks;
— economy-developing plans for specific areas having cities connected by high-speed communication;
— co-operative developing plans for national boundaries.

5 Selection of transportation modes, features and services for smart
transportation solutions in communities
5.1 General
This clause helps those with an interest in introducing transportation as solutions or smart
transportation (e.g. governors, transportation operators) find the features of smart transportation to
be set up by selecting transportation modes and features.
To solve specific city issues by introducing suitable transportation, transportation modes, features and
services should be selected and installed to meet the needs of stakeholders and for the convenience
for transportation users and to achieve smart transportation solutions. From the potential options
identified in the integrated urban transportation plan, planners including stakeholders should
determine which modes, features or services best advance smart transportation goals. Those goals
should be designed and chosen to address city issues.
A planning phase is necessary to install transportation features and services that are deduced by
transportation modes to be selected. This is because each transportation has its own transportation
features that bring specific transportation services. The selection of transportation modes should
carefully be determined by smart community governors, planners or developers to have public
transportation carriers or private transportation holders/users successfully introduce smart
transportation solutions aiming at solutions to the issues.
NOTE The selection of transportation mode is a critical step in introducing smart transportation into
communities since the investment in transportation infrastructures can create path dependencies that will
