ABOUT

MOVE System

Mobility-oriented, Operations,
Visualization & Environment System

MOVE advances traffic safety, net-zero emissions, and smart city development in line with UEH's 2025–2030 Strategy, strengthening UEH's role as a leading University-City Innovation Hub in Asia.

A flagship integrated research and innovation platform developed by the Institute of Smart City and Management (ISCM) at the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH).

MOVE System's core objectives are to conduct applied research in road safety, urban mobility, rail systems, and low carbon transition. The System supports project-based education and develops fit-for-purpose technological solutions to generate robust, evidence-based insights that directly support decision-making and policymaking at city and national levels.
