The implementation of a Multi-Modal Transport System (MMTS) is pivotal in ensuring seamless and efficient access from the first to the last mile in smart cities.

Enhancements to the MMTS can be achieved by integrating open parking data into this evolving ecosystem. Recognizing that every vehicle journey commences and concludes with parking, managing the parking infrastructure within the multimodal framework becomes instrumental in controlling city traffic. Various modes of transportation such as buses, bicycles, shared cars, and, in the future, autonomous vehicles require designated parking spaces. A digitized parking system emerges as a dynamic resource, no longer perceived as a static asset but rather as a flexible tool providing real-time parking information to assist drivers in locating available parking spaces.

The Multi-Modal Transport System, in simple terms, refers to an integrated transportation network that interconnects roadways, railways, airways, and waterways to formulate a coordinated travel solution within a comprehensive Smart City framework. It is important to note that it is not imperative for all transportation systems to operate under a singular agreement. Even if two or more modes are integrated, the system can still be recognized as a multimodal transport system.
