Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

Introduction
A well-functioning community infrastructure, of which energy (power), water and wastewater,
solid waste disposal, information and communications technology and transportation are essential
elements, is critical to the quality of life and economic productivity of any city or human settlement.
Transportation plays a highly visible role in the lives of residents, ensuring people can get to work,
engage in social activities, take part in commerce and access cultural institutions and any other amenity
the city offers. In addition, transportation networks are needed for the distribution of goods throughout
a city or region. Inadequate or poorly designed transportation systems can create significant economic
costs from lost productivity, environmental impacts and health problems.
The features and services provided by such infrastructures are intended to assist people in communities
with their businesses and lives, and to help stimulate activities to promote their businesses and enhance
their lives by providing opportunities to come to, stay in and move within/outside communities. People
do not want to spend all their time at home or in an office, even though improved information and
communication technologies would bring them possibilities to do business or take action anywhere
they like and anytime without moving. There is more to life than just business supported by electronic
communication. People want to be able to move around independently and see, hear, touch, taste and
smell directly what they have an interest in.
Transportation networks can be very complex, interweaving many different modes: by air, ship, ferry,
train, truck and passenger vehicle, and by human-powered modes, like walking or biking. In particular,
transportation serviced for intra-/inter-city communication by commuter rail, inter-city rail, high-
speed rail, metro, trams, monorail, light rail transit, automated guideway transit systems, buses,
trucks, ferries and air vehicles is popular and convenient for people, including the disabled, the elderly
and those whose physical performance is declining, working or living in communities and coming to or
out from there. This is because such means of transportation successfully convey passengers, delivery
items and freight in large lots, punctually and at low cost, supported by established basic technologies
that have developed over a long period and that are still being steadily improved even now. Cities need
to have transportation systems that meet the needs of a diverse group of users, including commuters
both within and outside the city, persons with disabilities and the elderly, and those shipping freight or
other goods and parcels.
This document describes how transportation is planned, designed, implemented, operated, maintained
and upgraded to take into account the points of view of different stakeholders, including the residents
and governing authorities of communities, as well as the needs of the environment. This document also
outlines minimum conditions to be respected in the performance of transportation systems, even after
they have been installed, in order to realize the objectives of a smart transportation infrastructure,
i.e. economically efficient transportation systems that meet or exceed user needs while minimizing
environmental impact.
Decisions ranging from large-scale planning and investments to individual choices can shape the impact
of transportation systems on a city. Decision makers need to think critically about transportation modes,
as well as the features and services of those modes, to ensure the positive impacts of transportation
infrastructure outweigh the potential negative impacts. In addition, given that populations and
technologies change, decision makers need to monitor transportation systems to ensure that they
continue to meet transportation goals. This document describes the smart transportation objectives
and offers support for the development of integrated urban mobility plans, including the selection and
application of transportation services.
