ABSTRACT:
In a fast-paced urbanized culture, sustainable transportation remains a significant challenge. Quick and smooth mobility of people and goods with the possibility of regulating traffic congestion and preventing climate change is essential for every public transportation user. Urban population in developing nations like Rwanda is expected to double by the year 2050, and balancing the supply and demand of the urban transport system will be a significant issue. Information technology enables elements within the transportation system, including vehicles, roads, traffic lights, and message signs, to become intelligent by embedding them with sensors, processors, algorithms, and actuators, thus empowering them to communicate through various technologies. These technologies improve transportation system performance by reducing congestion, increasing safety and traveler convenience, and protecting the climate against some greenhouse gases. Different mobility solutions are stated in this document. The use of electric vehicles, Passenger Information Systems, Car-sharing and ride-sharing services, electronic payment, Bus Signal Priority, and Vehicle-Integrated Photovoltaics. Using photovoltaics in Rwanda is adequate because of the electricity problem. This is the best solution for fighting against climate change due to fuel from motorized traffic.
