This chapter follows challenges, policies, and research directions shaping the digital transformation of the transport sector towards smart and sustainable mobility. Urban mobility, facing growing number of vehicles, increasing urbanization, and environmental concerns, actively seeks solutions through information and communication technologies. In-vehicle digitalization has recently revolutionized the automotive industry, while ongoing efforts focusing on digitally connected vehicles and smart infrastructure are laying the foundation for autonomous mobility. The USA Department of Transportation proposes a safety standard mandating vehicle-to-vehicle communications for new cars, aiming to propel the automotive industry towards communication and information technology development for enhanced safety and energy efficiency. The European Union targets carbon free road transportation by 2050, as part of European Green Deal, and plans to reduce the road fatalities to zero by 2050, as part of Vision Zero strategy. In this context, the smart and sustainable mobility concept envisions the use of state-of-the-art sensors and communication technologies toward a more efficient and safer transportation network and foresees the development of autonomous vehicles support technologies, improved route planning strategies, and electric vehicle proliferation. In this chapter, after an introduction to policies and technologies supporting digital transformation of the transport sector, we focus on the wireless technologies for vehicle-to-everything communications, including the contributions of our research group in developing a modular hardware-software architecture and a hybrid platform of vehicular communication and information technologies for road safety and driver assistance applications. Finally, the economic and social challenges arising from the implementation of smart mobility are examined and general conclusions are drawn.
