Summary/Abstract: Currently, the major cities of the world, including those from Romania, have to face the problem of population mobility. We can observe traffic congestion, environmental and noise pollution especially in major cities. Increasing the mobility of urban population and reducing pollution are some of the objectives of a smart mobility policy, as part of a smart city policy, according to the model developed at EU level for a smart city. The paper aims to present a model for optimizing population movement within a city, model that contributes to better urban traffic flows, and also to the reduction of transport time and pollution.
