Abstract

The concept of the smart city is about using smart computing technologies to create a convenient environment for
the residence and to improve the quality of living. Mobility and transportation are one of the major characteristics of the
smart city, especially for fast growing population cities. Our study focuses on Jeddah city as it's the second large city in
Saudi Arabia with more than 3.5 million populations. An investigation for the current transportation system in Jeddah was
conducted to outline the issues that cause traffic and congestion. A multi-modal journey planner (MMJP) was proposed
based on the requirements specified from the analysis phase. A demo application named (smartITS) was developed to
illustrate the proposed solution interface, functions, and features
