Engineering:Smart mobility
Smart mobility refers to many modes of transport.[1][2][3][4]
Some smart mobility services include:[5]
- public transport (with real-time timetabling and route optimization, seamless travel and digital ticketing)
- Carsharing
- Mobility as a service (MaaS)
- Mobility on Demand (MOD)[6]
- autonomous transport systems
- smart mobility services in freight and logistics
- drones and low-altitude aerial mobility
Overview
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.[7] 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.
