Abstract:This paper examines the relationship between smart transportation and carbon emissions which has been identified to be the most significant driver behind increased climate change. It does so by conducting a scoping review of the available literature. In particular, it aims to answer the question: “How can smart transportation systems contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions in Singapore?”. The Singaporean angle has been chosen as Singapore is currently the number one smart city in the world and for this reason it is expected to have an already developed smart transportation system. To ascertain the potential for reducing carbon emissions, several transportation initiatives are analysed in order to identify the strategies and technologies of each in terms of their impact on carbon emissions. Once examined, it showed that Singapore is implementing five initiatives including certain technologies and strategies which are effective in the reduction of carbon emissions. These include the use of autonomous vehicles, CERTAN, contactless fare payment, on-demand shuttle, and open data and analytics for urban transportation. Therefore, this paper allows for insight into the successful implementation of Singapore against carbon emissions which can provide to be helpful when applied on a broader scale.
