Abstract
There is no doubt travel is a critical part of daily life in cities and plays a decisive role in quality of life, and as urban population grows, more commuters and more freight traffic is created all around the world, putting in evidence the need for innovative mobility services as a way to reduce traffic congestions and promote sustainability. Some cities such as Vienna, Barcelona and Stockholm have already implemented many of these services in its urban and transport plans and in Brazil there are also some examples like São Paulo, Campinas and Curitiba. However all of them are either capitals or major city centres, what does not reflect the reality of most cities in Brazil. Therefore this study focuses on analysing the suitability of implementing smart mobility services adopted in European cities in medium-sized Brazilian cities, taking as a case study the city of Divinópolis, with more than 200,000 inhabitants, but which does not offer enough smart mobility services even though it is considered to be a regional centre in Minas Gerais state.
