Increasing Integration of IoT for Better Mobility in Smart Cities Drives Europe Smart Ticketing Market

The Internet of Things (IoT) integrates sensors (e.g., occupancy sensors), communication devices (e.g., Wi-Fi for passengers), and data analytics (e.g., route optimization algorithms) into vehicles and infrastructure to enhance public transportation efficiency, safety, and convenience for both passengers and service providers. IoT-enabled ticketing systems simplify fare collection by allowing passengers to pay using contactless smart cards, mobile apps, or wearables. These technologies offer operators important data on passenger flows and money collection. For instance, according to a May 2024 report by Ignitec, cities such as London, Manchester, and Birmingham are revolutionizing public transport with IoT in the UK. They are adopting smart ticketing systems, real-time tracking, and environmental monitoring to enhance services. Cities are exploring ways to improve IoT applications in public transportation using 5G technology. Moreover, IoT is integrated on a large scale in smart city projects worldwide. It is a vital component in applications such as traffic monitoring, parking systems, and waste management. Smart ticketing is an integral part of the smart city concept; thus, the growing integration of IoT in these projects supplements the smart ticketing market growth.
