Abstract

Mobility is a vital issue for residents and local governments, and it has an impact on sustainability, economy, and lifestyle [1]. Smart mobility focuses on real-time data accessibility [1]. Public Accessibility of real-time data helps smart mobility players to provide efficient, safe, sustainable, and high-quality transportation services [1]. This research aims to investigate and prioritize smart mobility barriers in the city of Montrèal to help decision-makers, policy planners, and smart mobility players to establish effective approaches for safer, smarter, and modern transportation systems in Montrèal [2]. In this research, firstly, 39 smart mobility barriers are identified using an integrative literature review. Secondly, the list of barriers modified by experts from the public, private, and multinational sectors to be compatible with mobility system and infrastructure in Montrèal. Lastly, the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is used to prioritize identified barriers. Results show that financial barriers have a major impact on smart mobility development in Montrèal followed by “legal & regulatory”, “technical & technological”, “administrative”, “information & awareness”, “others”, “social”, “policy”, “environmental”.
