ABOUT THE PUBLICATION
Vietnam’s urban transportation landscape is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by technological advancements and growing environmental concerns. However, the transition to intelligent and sustainable mobility solutions faces multiple challenges, from economic constraints to infrastructural limitations. This publication presents two in-depth studies exploring key aspects of this transition.
Chapter 1, Challenges for the Adoption of Intelligent Transportation Systems in Urban Mobility: A Case Study of Vietnam, examines the major barriers hindering ITS adoption. Through extensive research and field surveys conducted in three provincial cities, the study identifies financial concerns and data privacy issues as the most critical obstacles. While technological and management challenges remain relevant, they are less influential in the decision-making process. The chapter provides strategic recommendations for policymakers, emphasizing financial incentives, regulatory improvements, and infrastructure development as pivotal steps toward a smarter transportation system.
Chapter 2, Transitioning to Electric Motorbikes in Logistics: A Proposal to Reduce Emissions and Improve Efficiency, shifts the focus to the behavioral and policy factors influencing the shift from fossil-fuel motorbikes to electric alternatives. Utilizing the Push-Pull-Mooring framework, the study highlights the role of perceived environmental threats, transport policies, and infrastructure in shaping consumer behavior. Importantly, it identifies information provision as a key moderator in this transition. The findings underscore the need for better public awareness campaigns and enhanced infrastructure to encourage widespread adoption of electric motorbikes in logistics.
By addressing both technological and behavioral dimensions, this publication provides valuable insights for policymakers, businesses, and urban planners. The findings not only contribute to Vietnam’s journey toward sustainable transportation but also offer lessons applicable to other rapidly urbanizing regions.
