As urban population grows, travel from one place to another efficiently is becoming a daunting task. Applications that leverage technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) — the ability to provide additional information in real world context — could hold the key to address these issues.

Single occupancy vehicles are no longer the assumed choice for getting from one place to another. This is due to economic factors (cost per mile, time wasted in congestion) and sustainability issues (amount of air pollution generated). It is the responsibility of the civic entity (city or region) to offer and facilitate more efficient means of transportation. Fitting under the umbrella of Smart City initiatives, urban mobility planning encompasses data operations and infrastructure around single occupancy vehicles and public transit such as buses, trains and alternatives such as bikes, and shared mobility. Private ride hailing services, bike share and car share; formal carpools and van pools, and new autonomous vehicles are gaining immense popularity due to the convenience they offer.
