The population of Egypt has been steadily increasing in the past decades at a pace of about 2.1% per year which adds major constrains to the Egyptian infrastructure. The average increase in road traffic over a ten year period, have averaged to be 5.5 percent per annum, which is identical to the rate for the increases in vehicle registrations over the same period. In-which demand have increased to almost unmanageable levels along many road segments, particular within the Delta Region. Interurban traffic volume along the Alexandria Agricultural Road is highest, averaging near 110,000 vehicles per day. The high incidence of traffic accidents, injuries and fatalities in Egypt continues to catalyze concerns.
The number of fatalities and injuries resulting from road crashes is unacceptably high. In 2018, near 180,000 persons have died or injured on Egyptian roads. Vulnerable Road users from the Non-motorized users, were highly the most injured and killed on the Egyptian Road, accounting for approximately half of all road related fatalities. Since 2014, Egypt have employed National Strategies to implement Smart city policies and Intelligent Transportation System Infrastructure to accommodate the substantial increase in urban development, which utilize:

• Information Technology;
• Innovation; and
• Smart Management for Urban Governance.

The widespread deployment and the societal acceptance of smart mobility technologies depend not only on the maturity of the technology but also on the availability of a well-developed governance framework and the proper city planning to accommodate these evolving technologies. This means that smart mobility depends on a triad of complementary factors; technology, city planning and governance. This panel discussion addresses how government, city planners, and technologists can work together to respond to changes in people and cargo mobility systems and services.
