| Abstract | Modern cities, as complex systems, are often vulnerable to natural and anthropogenic hazards. In this paper we attempt to examine how cities can show resilience to emergencies, such as the recent Covid-19 pandemic, through intelligent transport systems (ITS). Trikala, Greece constitutes a model smart city that has been recognized internationally for its efforts to promote technological and social innovation and sustainability focused on urban mobility by implementing a wealth of advanced and integrated intelligent urban transport systems. The aim of this paper is to explore the urban mobility behavior, as well as the attitudes and perceptions of the Trikala’s citizens towards intelligent transport systems in the light of the pandemic Covid-19. The study is based on an on-line questionnaire survey and the data analysis was carried using descriptive and inferential statistics. The main findings showed that the coronavirus outbreak had a significant impact on the individual mobility patterns and on public space use. The non-mandatory trips were decreased, and the frequency use of active transport modes (walking, cycling) was increased. Most citizens have positively evaluated ITS and consider that they can make a substantial contribution to the safety of urban travel during the pandemic. Intelligent and soft mobility measures constitute crucial elements of an integrated spatial and transport planning, which should be the fundamental strategy for building urban resilience in times of crisis. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG. |
