Beyond technological measures, some densely populated countries including Germany, Japan, and India are exploring using information technology/internet of things (IOT) to support mode-shifting and reduce mobility demand through broader behaviour and lifestyle changes (Ashina et al. 2012; [[#Canzler--2016|Canzler and Wittowsky 2016]] ; Aggarwal 2017; [[#Dhar--2018|Dhar et al. 2018]] ; [[#Vishwanathan--2018b|Vishwanathan et al. 2018b]] ). In Japan, accelerated mitigation pathways consider the use of information technology and internet of things (IoT) to transform human behaviour and transition to a sharing economy (Ashina et al. 2012; [[#Oshiro--2017a|Oshiro et al. 2017a]] , 2018). In Germany, one study points to including electromobility information and communication technologies in the transport sector as key ( [[#Canzler--2016|Canzler and Wittowsky 2016]] ) while another emphasise shifting from road to rail transport, and reduced distances travelled as other possible transport strategies ( [[#Schmid--2012|Schmid and Knopf 2012]] ). India’s transport sector strategies also include use of information technology and the internet, a transition to a sharing economy, and increasing infrastructure investment ( [[#Dhar--2018|Dhar et al. 2018]] ; [[#Vishwanathan--2018b|Vishwanathan et al. 2018b]] ). Behaviour and lifestyle change along with stakeholder integration in decision-making are considered key to implementing new transport policies (Aggarwal 2017; [[#Dhar--2018|Dhar et al. 2018]] ).
