This monograph offers a comprehensive discussion on the current challenges for developing future sustainable and resilient transport systems. It specifically focuses on the effects of two major shaping factors, namely climate change and the increased use of technologies, in particular artificial intelligence. It analyses issues and the relevant strategies adopted by different governments for facing social and environmental issues while planning the intelligent and decarbonized mobility of the future. Topics discussed in this book include: the use of artificial intelligence and big data in transportation and mobility, strategies for decarbonizing transport, the role of automated transport in future mobility, resilient transport infrastructures and other important related issues. Besides addressing researchers and professionals active in this field, this book will also offer an introduction on achievements and future challenges in mobility for newcomers.
