Persuasive Technologies for Sustainable Urban Mobility
It addresses the problem of encouraging sustainable transport behaviors for urban populations, but is incremental as it reviews and synthesizes existing approaches.
This review paper systematically analyzes persuasive technologies for promoting sustainable urban mobility, highlighting the need for personalizing interventions based on user characteristics and context-aware systems.
In recent years, the persuasive interventions for inducing sustainable urban mobility behaviours has become a very active research field. This review paper systematically analyses existing approaches and prototype systems and describes and classifies the persuasive strategies used for changing behaviour in the domain of transport. It also studies the results and recommendations derived from pilot studies, and as a result of this analysis highlights the need for personalizing and tailoring persuasive technology to various user characteristics. We also discuss the possible role of context-aware persuasive systems for increasing the number of sustainable choices. Finally, recommendations for future investigations on scholarly persuasive systems are proposed.
