Networking and Applications for Sustainable Mobility (NASMo)
Special track at ACM GoodIT 2026
The transportation sector accounts for roughly 23% of global energy-related CO₂ emissions, while 70% of the world’s population is expected to live in cities by 2050, placing unprecedented pressure on current mobility systems. At the same time, advances in 5G/6G connectivity, Edge Computing, and Artificial Intelligence are enabling a shift from private vehicle ownership toward efficient, shared, and multi-modal mobility services.
The NASMo special track focuses on how emerging networking and digital technologies can support sustainable, accessible, and intelligent mobility, contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Beyond technological performance, the track emphasizes the societal impact of digital mobility solutions, including safer transportation through V2X communication, equitable access via Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), and data-driven urban planning that improves environmental quality and public health. NASMo aims to provide a high-impact interdisciplinary forum bringing together researchers and practitioners from computer science, mathematics, and engineering, as well as urban planners and industry stakeholders from the automotive, telecommunications, and logistics sectors to discuss innovative approaches to next-generation sustainable mobility.
