Smart mobility
Electric cars, alternatives to cars, rentals
Smart mobility refers to many modes of transport.
Some smart mobility services include:
- Public transport (with real-time timetabling and route optimization, seamless travel and digital ticketing)
- Carsharing
- Mobility as a service (MaaS)
- Mobility on demand (MOD)
- Autonomous transport systems
- Smart mobility services in freight and logistics
- Drones and low-altitude aerial mobility
01Overview
Mobility as a service
Mobility as a service enables multimodal mobility by providing user-centric information and travel services (navigation, location, booking, payment, ...) hence allowing mobility as a seamless service across all transport modes. Mobility on Demand also don't require ownership of private automobiles and gives convenient access to a range of travel modes while socialising the high initial costs of switching to electric-vehicle based mobility. Integrated mobility on demand services can contribute to modal shift to public transport and also addresses spatial inefficiencies of private transport. The car also has a small role to play within smart mobility (it is particularly useful in a context which does not require personal ownership of the car, see above). Cars can be made to use intelligent transportation systems.
