Smart City Requirements to Achieve Safe Smart Transportation Systems in Saudi Arabia

Smart transportation has become a key priority for the Saudi Arabian government in recent years as part of its efforts to modernize its transportation infrastructure and improve mobility for its citizens. Saudi Arabia has implemented several smart transport practices, including intelligent transport systems and technologies, investments in Electric vehicle infrastructure, road safety initiatives, traffic management systems, variable messaging signs, sustainable solutions, and smart parking solutions. The government has also strongly expressed interest in promoting, developing, and deploying Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) and Connected, Autonomous, Shared, and Electric (CASE) vehicles. Given the lack of reviews on smart transport initiatives in Saudi Arabia, this paper is a collection of several studies from various databases. This systematic review aims to provide scholars and practitioners access to implemented smart transport and mobility practices within Saudi Arabia. While there is still much work to be done, Saudi Arabia has made significant progress in implementing smart transport practices and is likely to continue investing in this area in the coming years.
