Comparison of the willingness to adopt MaaS in Madrid (Spain) and Randstad (The Netherlands) metropolitan areas

Transportation Research Part A Policy and Practice, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 152, P. 275 - 294

Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is expected to reorganise how we travel. To date, it still unclear who will embrace these new mobility strategies, and they transform travellers' behaviours. This study identifies the key drivers determining adoption of MaaS in two European metropolitan areas, based on survey taken Madrid (Spain) Randstad (The Netherlands). Overall, found strong positive attitudes towards MaaS. The results highlight role played by set demographic, socioeconomic, travel-related variables, after their validation with generalized ordered logit (gologit) model. willingness adopt appeared be related personal characteristics such gender, age, education level, occupation, household structure. Unexpectedly, place residence (city versus outskirts) was not significant. acceptance also influenced individuals' patterns. We detected that private car users were significantly attracted MaaS, while individuals engaged public transport shared services did intend it. Our final findings help urban authorities planners predict population segments higher (and lower) probability using Policy efforts could stimulate acceptability coming years taking insights into account.

Understanding Smart City Policy: Insights from the Strategy Documents of 52 Local Governments

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 14(16), P. 10164 - 10164

Published: Aug. 16, 2022

Today, many cities around the globe are interested in developing or adopting smart city policy frameworks; however, complexity of concept combined with complicated urban issues makes it a highly challenging task. Moreover, there limited studies to consolidate our understanding policymaking. The aim this study was bridge knowledge gap by placing set official frameworks under analysis microscope. approached by, firstly, internationally collating 52 local governments from 17 countries. methodology then progressed deductive content identified policies thematic data software. investigation employed main themes identify common policies—i.e., economy, environment, governance, living, mobility, and people. results revealed targeted key planning issues, goals, priorities, ways that address these priorities. findings inform policymakers, planners practitioners on priorities provide insights for

MaaS (Mobility as a Service) market futures explored

Transport Policy, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 134, P. 31 - 40

Published: Feb. 9, 2023

The term Mobility as a Service (MaaS) refers to seamless, single interface, fully integrated and customised transport service. Whilst the technological barriers implementing MaaS are steadily being overcome, less is known about how eco-system might evolve. This paper unpicks concept in light of broader societal trends suggest it could evolve offers insights for practitioners policy makers. draws on relevant literature, together with discussions stakeholders, better understand has emerged. It then constructs four future market scenarios identifies implications. concluded that current expectations may limited their understanding system change should be adopted wide scale. major challenges makers will likely relate balancing promised benefits offered issues such safety (including bio-safety our post Covid-19 world), data security privacy, equity threat dominant suppliers distorting marketplace. Together, these reality messy difficult manage, systems look very different now.

How does transport supply and mobility behaviour impact preferences for MaaS bundles? A multi-city approach

Transportation Research Part C Emerging Technologies, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 147, P. 104013 - 104013

Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) bundle design has recently gained increasing attention.Previous work identified socio-demographics and current travel behaviour as drivers towards adopting MaaS bundles.Yet, the focus been on (scientific) trials in one specific area or service.We extend this by analysing influence of transport supply mobility preferences for bundles multiple cities.To end, we conduct a stated preference experiment 83 cities Germany.Respondents choose between two options pay-as-you-go option.Besides public transport, include shared e-scooters bikes carsharing ridepooling bundles.To integrate city characteristics merge data with from services about quality respective cities.We find previous usage to positively car negatively uptake.While included units are crucial integrating car-based modes, additional prices beyond these more important micro-mobility services.The local system is an precondition uptake.

Smart Mobility in Urban Areas: A Bibliometric Review and Research Agenda

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(8), P. 6754 - 6754

Published: April 17, 2023

Transportation systems globally face challenges related to congestion, decreased quality of life, limited accessibility, increased harmful emissions and costs, growing use private cars in some cases lack intra intermodal integration. Smart Mobility is believed be a solution these by providing comprehensive intelligent mobility services, decreasing transportation promoting safety, combating pollution traffic congestion. Despite this potential, there still uncertainty surrounding what smart whether it moving toward improving the life making cities more sustainable. To address gap, paper conducts bibliometric review 3223 Web Science Core Collection-indexed documents provide understanding research. The findings reveal multi-disciplinary approaches previous studies with strong emphasis on technological aspects social or economic considerations current identifies four distinct periods research, recent interest sparked advancements big data, deep learning, artificial intelligence, real-time technologies transport systems. However, dearth research developing countries, where urban populations are rapidly increasing. Thus, proposes agenda gaps knowledge. Furthermore, provides an updated integrated definition as advanced technologies, such Internet Things (IoT), data analytics, improve efficiency, for all, sustainability while safeguarding life. primary challenge co-evolution existing systems, further integration essential advancing paper’s main contribution conceptualisation novel topics that build unified base.
