App-based mobility management

The recent technological advancements of digitalization and automation are already starting to shape the mobility system, e.g., car sharing, ride-pooling, and autonomous driving However, today's pressing challenges of achieving a decarbonized and high-performing mobility system are not solved directly by these advancements. There must be coordination and regulation to address these challenges directly, achieve desired outcomes, and ensure long-term support from the transportation system for economic and societal success. One access point is the smartphone, which consequently allows a personalized and adaptive app-based mobility management. In this research project, the role of the smartphone in mobility management, as well as the mechanisms and scenarios under which this coordination and regulation of an app-based mobility management becomes successful will be explored.
