ABOUT THE FIA SMART CITIES INITIATIVE On the path to reaching sustainable development targets, transport authorities seek for innovative solutions to meet a growing mobility demand and tackle existing urban mobility issues: pollution, congestion and road safety hazards. Making urban mobility more sustainable and efficient has an enormous benefit to the health and liveability of the cities and their dwellers. The application of smart technologies and inclusive policies can help cities tackle issues resulting from the process of rapid urbanisation and economic growth. The FIA Smart Cities initiative was launched as a platform for knowledge generation and information exchange in the field of sustainable urban mobility. The initiative led by the FIA and supported by Formula E, Michelin, ENEL, Julius Bär, and Digital Leaders Ventures, comprises three core pillars, notably the Forums, a Cities Award and a Global Startup Contest. This multidimensional approach allows us to bring together actors from various fields, from young entrepreneurs to experienced policy-makers, and foster the process of knowledge sharing. Built on the axes of Sport and Mobility, the initiative represents a true testimony of the FIA’s comparative advantage to play a role in defining the future of sustainable mobility. The FIA Formula E platform provides a unique arena to showcase innovations in motor sport that help identify potential synergies between technological development and mobility needs. Finally, the involvement of FIA Member Clubs in the Forum’s programme shows the relevance and importance of urban development to Mobility Clubs and their evolving membership networks.

FIA SMART CITIES TALK IN PARIS On the occasion of the second Paris ePrix, Jean Todt invited the Mayor of Paris and President of the C40, Anne Hidalgo, to share thoughts on the future of urban road safety. This debate on how road hazards in urban areas can be minimised or fully eliminated became the first FIA Smart Cities Talk, held in the framework of the Smart Cities initiative. About 1.25 million people die every year as a result of crashes on the world’s roads and road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death among people aged between 15 and 29 years, according to the World Health Organisation. Cities and global leaders have a part to play in communicating globally about this public health issue and educating public about measures that can help improve safety performance on the roads. Jean Todt and Anne Hidalgo also discussed the growth in motorisation rates, expected to increase from 1 billion vehicles in 2010 to 1.6 billion by 2035, and exceed 2.1 billion by 2050, which will further strain the infrastructure of cities, already struggling to combat rising pollution levels and congestion. The growing number of vehicles on the road is also directly correlated with the number of crashes on urban rates. A lot can be learnt from the Safety Control Center, monitoring the safety performance of electric vehicles racing on the track. Transferring experience from track to road can ultimately help reduce the number of crashes on urban roads. The FIA also committed to further promote the convergence between the Sport and Mobility pillars, activating new opportunities to spread the message about road safety and sustainable mobility. The FIA Smart Cities special event was also proud to welcome Wayde van Niekerk, 400m Olympic Gold Medal and World Champion, who is one of the 13 ambassadors of the #3500LIVES campaign launched to help government officials convey a message about the 3,500 people who die in car crashes worldwide every day. The Executive Director of UNEP, Erik Solheim, also joined his voice to the discussion, explaining that cities should implement technologies along the axes of both safety and sustainability.
We must use sport to be a worldwide loudspeaker for environmental protection and road safety. That’s why we are here. We are convinced that by working together we will be able to make a difference.” Jean Todt, FIA President
16 16
People have become quite reckless as a nation when it comes to drinking and driving. Hopefully we can bring about some awareness that can change people’s minds and end up saving lives on the road.� Wayde van Niekerk, 400m Olympic Gold Medal and World Champion, #3500LIVES Road Safety Campaign Ambassador

FIA SMART CITIES FORUM IN BERLIN The Berlin ePrix was picked as the stage for the European edition of the FIA Smart Cities Forum. Today more than ever before, cities require highly strategic transport planning. Innovative information and communication technologies offer a solution to balance out mobility supply and demand in a more efficient manner. Users no longer need to adapt their travel patterns to existing modes and times of transit as they can now benefit from more flexible, customised and easily adaptable mobility solutions. The speakers of the Forum pointed out that new mobility solutions in European cities are tightly linked to new trends in the automotive sector, including electrification and vehicle automation. The German capital shared its long-term vision on the zero emission mobility plan. Germany aims at reaching the status of a main provider for electric mobility by 2020. This trend is adopted by many European cities where electric mobility is perceived as a founding pillar of national environmental, technological and economic development strategies. To advance this goal, there is a need for an open and collaborative marketplace that allows relevant stakeholders to share expertise, create synergies and optimise the use of technologies when delivering a new mobility service. The panel discussion has concluded that a link between public and private transport can ultimately result in an harmonised real-time multi-modal transport system that will make our cities more liveable. The Forum concluded that governments and mobility service providers should stay mindful about the impact of new mobility services on the broader transport system and its potential to contribute to the growth of the smart city ecosystem.
In the city, mobility is an integral element of other urban sectors: reliable and efficient transport systems underpin every part of the urban ecosystem.� Philippe Crist, International Transport Forum

FIA SMART CITIES FORUM IN MONTREAL During the third edition of the Smart Cities Forum, Jean Todt and Mayor Coderre reminded the audience that fostering urban leadership and advancing technological development is imperative to enhance urban mobility systems around the world. The theme of the last FIA Smart Cities Forum was defined around the concept of Smart Data and its use for Smart Mobility systems. Canadian provinces are digitising their cityscape at a rapid pace, constantly introducing new services and initiatives. This technological advancement enables city leaders to collect and analyse transport-related data in a more efficient and practical way. The phenomenon of intelligent data flow is underpinning the smart city framework as never before. A more efficient use of information in the transportation sector is twofold: on the one hand, smart data is used to run smart technology; on the other hand, it allows designing demand-driven policies and services. For cities looking to implement smart city projects, it is important to find a right balance between efficient data analysis and its practical application. Panelists referred to the importance of community engagement in the technological advancement of transportation systems. Cities rolling out smart data projects need to inform residents about the type of data that will be collected, as well as about the way it will be used and applied within urban mobility systems. The redefinition of mobility around user needs points to the necessity to ensure synergies between data and technological development, consistent with specific city needs.
Public authorities should be open for more innovative solutions to better understand evolving mobility needs. Users who look for clean and sustainable forms of transportation are defining the future of mobility systems in urban areas.� Saul Billingsley, FIA Foundation Executive Director
