[more ▼] Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) is regarded as one of the emerging solutions to offer integrated, seamless, and flexible multi-modal mobility services as an alternative to privately owned mobility resources. MaaS gathers collective services such as public transport, shared solutions and other types of new mobility (e.g., on-demand ride services) and ancillary services (e.g., discounted parking) in bundles, accessed via monthly subscriptions. The key distinction between this system and traditional multi-modal systems managed by independent service providers is that payment for services is done through a single digital platform. MaaS is expected to change the way users will choose their modes of transport to reach their daily activities, and how service providers will generate profits, cooperate, and compete. From a wider perspective, MaaS is expected to favour a decline in car ownership and foster sustainable mobility, especially if the services increase the efficiency and utilisation of mass transit. To that aim, it is critical to obtain a thorough grasp of feasible and sustainable business models that suit the diverse needs of customers as well as the diverse and often competing objectives of service providers. In contrast, traditional transportation planning models typically assess solutions in a limited period of time (i.e., the peak hour) and use different simplifying assumptions (e.g., single trip-based choices, no interaction between service providers). This paper aims to provide a general modelling framework relating all main actors in the MaaS ecosystem and identify and discuss all factors that are considered relevant to define customers’ profiles and business models based on a comprehensive review of the literature. Gaps and challenges from the current studies are highlighted and future research directions are recommended.

[more ▼] Despite the interest in the MaaS system is growing fast within the scientific community, it remains uncertain if MaaS could be a potential tool able to reduce car ownership. This study aims to capture the impact of the total cost of ownership (TCO) on MaaS demand by endogenizing the MaaS choice and the TCO within the users’ travel choice in an agent-based model. We simulate different TCO price range starting from a benchmark cost in the literature and embed a specific type of MaaS plan which gives unlimited access to the services. Results show a significant growth of MaaS demand when TCO rises, in particular MaaS members are car users who shift their mode choice to public transport by travelling within more trips but in a shorter time slot. In contrast, MaaS users employ public transport for short trips while they still employ cars reducing their travel time but employing the same number of trips when TCO decreases. Results suggest that MaaS might become a more sustainable service by developing specific subsidies to discourage car ownership and by increasing mobility accessibility.

[more ▼] The Mobility-as-a-service is based on customized bundles in which different mobility services are gathered under one subscription-based digital platform. Currently, in the literature MaaS packages have been customized and hypothesized through surveys and pilot projects, underlining the lack of a model able to capture and compare MaaS business plans when different bundles are provided. This study aims to simulate different MaaS plans in the users’ mode choice set using an agent-based model and to study the MaaS potential demand heterogeneity. Results show that MaaS users who experience long daily travel times are indifferent to the type of package provided, while time-limited package members substitute the car by travelling longer distances using public transport and free-floating car-sharing services. In contrast, the trip-discounted bundle members are less willing to substitute the car and they use public transport within a long trip chain, reducing their trip time [less ▲] Detailed reference viewed: 29 (0 UL)![]() Cisterna, Carolina ![]() ![]() in Transportation Research Procedia (2022) Detailed reference viewed: 18 (0 UL)![]() Cisterna, Carolina ![]() ![]() ![]() in Proceedings of the 25th International Conference of Hong Kong Society for Transportation Studies, HKSTS 2021: Sustainable Mobility (2021, December) Detailed reference viewed: 58 (5 UL)![]() Cisterna, Carolina ![]() ![]() in Transportation Research Procedia (2021) Detailed reference viewed: 43 (1 UL)![]() Bandiera, Claudia ![]() ![]() ![]() Report (2021) Detailed reference viewed: 112 (14 UL)![]() Cisterna, Carolina ![]() ![]() ![]() in Transportation Research Procedia (2021) Detailed reference viewed: 38 (4 UL)![]() Cisterna, Carolina ![]() ![]() ![]() in Nathail, Eftihia (Ed.)
