The research is based in the quantitative and qualitative methods including the analysis of statistical data, study of cities’ documents and in-depth interviews with policy makers of the cities. In the first part it gathers the known and used digital solutions in urban mobility with an aim of building their catalogue, and theoretical framework for the study. In the second part it examines the public transport, and electronic tickets, live time passenger information, and intelligent transport systems. Next area is parking policy, in which the digital solutions help to find the parking lots without cruising, or make the payment for parking easier. Also the solutions for cycling like digital bike renting, or counting of bikers will be analysed. Final part of the analysis is devoted to travel planning and digital MaaS schemes.
