Sustainable mobility and the pandemic: assessing the potential for a ‘smart working/smart mobility’ scenario in large cities

Analysis was carried out of a case study focused on the Milan area. This city was chosen for its socio-economic representativeness and for the previous experience acquired in this area, having already carried out research on sustainable urban mobility in the past. The data used comes from location information sent by the mobile devices of a representative sample of users in order to identify and compare the type of travel (systematic or occasional), the main routes and the peak hours, before and during the lockdown.
This paper presents the results of this analysis and discusses how smart working could impact future mobility scenarios.

The lockdown measures, adopted between March and April 2020 in order to contain the COVID-19 virus, led to a significant decrease in population movements, especially in urban contexts. This situation had a significant impact on traffic, the use of public transport and air quality.
In this context, smart working became of fundamental importance, as a solution that guaranteed the continuation of work activity, especially in the tertiary sector.
The RSE study analyzes data on the demand for mobility in the Milan area during the lockdown period, focusing on the role and impact of smart working. The results are a useful basis for estimating the potential for reducing the demand for urban mobility achievable thanks to the use of remote working.
