Are Smart Mobility Pilots in Finland Fostering Sustainability? – an Assessment

This research assesses how smart mobility projects in Finland contribute to sustainability aims. Aims of the projects are reviewed applying a sustainability framework with ten subcategories based on literature. A truth table is generated to assess how the different aspects of sustainability are addressed. The observed differences between projects in addressing sustainability are analyzed in terms of funding sources and between projects conducted in urban and rural areas. The results based on qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) show that environmental, social, and economical dimensions are generally addressed in a balanced manner in smart mobility projects, although some of the subcategories are addressed only in a few projects.
