Abstract

Due to increase in population and modern urbanization, air pollution has become one of the primary culprits that has catastrophic effects on the health and environment. Cities are looking forward to undertaking smart and sustainable mobility initiatives in a bid to reduce the emission of air pollutants. However, eco-friendly mobility practices require significant transformations in the city’s infrastructure, governance strategies, policies, technology, and public perception. In this research, we analyze the generation of air pollutants such as O3, NO2, CO, SO2, and PM10 in the Malaysian atmosphere. We performed descriptive statistics on the data collected from the Department of Environment Malaysia using openair package from comprehensive R archive network. This research also contains the qualitative analysis of the workshop that we organized to brainstorm the smart mobility challenges and initiatives in Malaysia. The experts from 17 government, private and non-governmental organizations who are striving to make smart mobility a reality, attended the workshop. Moreover, in this research, we emphasize the importance of community engagement in achieving smart and sustainable mobility by discussing the successful implementation of eco-friendly mobility practices in Suwon.
