Part of the book series: EAI/Springer Innovations in Communication and Computing ((EAISICC))

Abstract

This chapter aims to develop an empirical roadmap for the public sector on how to implement automated transport in the urban context. This is a theory-driven and empirics-tested approach, meaning that innovation concepts and smart city frameworks will be mapped with examples from the real-life urban cases. It is expected that smart city aims to solve actual real-life global problems, and thus United Nations sustainable development goals in the case of cities are used. As a framework, main drivers and barriers will be analysed in order to provide public sector decision-makers both negative and positive effects of the automated urban transport.
