Transportation systems globally face challenges related to congestion, decreased quality of life, limited accessibility, increased harmful emissions and costs, growing use private cars in some cases lack intra intermodal integration. Smart Mobility is believed be a solution these by providing comprehensive intelligent mobility services, decreasing transportation promoting safety, combating pollution traffic congestion. Despite this potential, there still uncertainty surrounding what smart whether it moving toward improving the life making cities more sustainable. To address gap, paper conducts bibliometric review 3223 Web Science Core Collection-indexed documents provide understanding research. The findings reveal multi-disciplinary approaches previous studies with strong emphasis on technological aspects social or economic considerations current identifies four distinct periods research, recent interest sparked advancements big data, deep learning, artificial intelligence, real-time technologies transport systems.
