Abstract:
The major metropolitan areas in Latin America are facing a fast-increasing transport crisis in terms of congestion and very long travel times, pollution, accidents, and user safety. Like cities in developed countries, many cities in the region have started smart mobility programs to address these issues. In recent years, many models have been developed to evaluate these programs but most of these models are using indicators that do not consider specific mobility problems in Latin America. This article has identified eight specific regional challenges to mobility and proposes a new model. The model includes a set of specific indicators and metrics that allow researchers to conduct a more realistic and data-driven comparative evaluation of mobility challenges and smart mobility programs Latin American cities.
