Abstract

Qatar, a developing country in the Middle East, is investing in developing its first smart city. Lusail City is a world-class urban development city that has been newly introduced in Qatar to serve the country’s national vision, support rapid population growth, improve the quality of life for its citizens, and showcase the capabilities of the country to the rest of the world. The city incorporates a smart transportation system that includes a smart road network, light rail transit, bicycle and pedestrian network, parking facilities, water taxi transportation, and electric vehicle charging stations. This paper describes the smart transportation system in the city, challenges facing the system, and lessons that can benefit other developing countries in building similar systems.
