Digitalization and New Opportunities of Urban Mobility

Abstract

The digital age opens up new opportunities in the field of transport. A new transportation paradigm for the Smart City is being introduced, which enables dynamic intelligent travel on demand, called mobility as a service, to provide customers with personalized mobility services. They are taking into account the needs and preferences of users and allow to book a service that is provided using the available modes of transport. The article presents the concept of an intelligent passenger transportation service called Social Mobility on Demand, which provides personalized services adapted to the special needs of passengers using a list of travel options in real time for each passenger request. The system allows passengers to choose an acceptable option using a set of options, as well as operators to optimally allocate vehicles for different types of travel: taxi, shared taxi and minibus. Such rational travel planning will reduce the load on the road network, as well as the negative impact on the environment.
