Abstract

Smart City as a concept presupposes using new information and communication technologies in
order to improve the quality of life within a particular geographic area. There are six different
pillars in the frame of this concept and their one purpose is to achieve better efficiency of city
operations. Smart mobility and transport are some of them. The efforts of traditional cities to
become smart are not easily and quickly achievable. Numerous traffic solutions have already been
implemented in different cities all over the world that make the ‘jump’ from traditional city to
smart city. This paper provides an overview of the ‘smart’ transport solutions that have been
implemented in the city of Skopje as a traditional city, which is on its way to becoming a smart
city.
The presented smart solutions are related to traffic management and control area and are aimed
at alleviating traffic problems. The focus is on non-motorized solutions, e-vehicles, adaptive traffic
control systems and public transport solutions. Several aims have been set in this paper – to
promote the achievements of the municipality of Skopje aimed at transforming Skopje into a
smart city in a transport area; to present its functionality, and to point out the disadvantages
related to law regulations and the interconnection of all stakeholders involved. Finally, the idea is
to provide a starting point for future research and to recommend future steps in this direction in
the city of Skopje
