ABSTRACT
‘Smart mobility’ has become a prominent issue in recent conversations about the future of transport. Typically, the focus is on urban transport, centring on ‘new mobility concepts’. Interestingly, significant differences exist between women and men when it comes to the nature and extent of the use of those new mobility concepts, and these have, thus far, been largely ignored by both researchers and planners. The scarcity of insights into the use of ‘digitised’ mobility services (and digital applications in general), given today’s mobility needs and behaviours, has stimulated a desire to put forward more solid assumptions about the gender-specific usefulness of smart mobility, and also to formulate further research needs in the rapidly changing urban mobility context.
