Original text: "Smart mobility is concerned about utilising ICT solutions to facilitate transportation systems. Smart mobility targets safety, efficiency and comfort of transportation system while highlighting sustainable and green solutions to reduce carbon footprints."

Summarising: to explain, when the mobility of the city, for example, becomes smart, this does not only benefit the transportation systems by making them safe, efficient, and comfortable , it also helps in limiting the carbon dioxide amounts (Babar, 2016).

Commentary: this could be achieved by installing sensors in other cars that alert the city's management systems that an old vehicle, for example, is emitting large amounts of harmful gases, so that it could be taken off the streets. Another aspect of the city that could be made smart is the environment.
