Some of the current measures that are proposed as a possible solution to these scenarios are: multimodality, improvement of public transport, electrification of transport or restriction of the circulation of polluting vehicles, as well as technological advances.
However, some of these traditional measures have certain limitations when it comes to providing a complete and sustainable solution to the new challenges of increasing mobility, “these actions must be accompanied by other types of innovative solutions, so that they represent a real and substantial improvement in reducing congestion,” he added. Innovation is the key, new technologies make it possible to improve the safety of infrastructures and to better optimize resources and, in turn, contribute to the sustainability of the environment.
