Session Description

From on-demand public transport that works better for travellers, to transport networks that better cater for micromobility and multimodal solutions, this session examines the last mile/first mile challenge - how can we deliver seamless door-to door services for our customers?

Demand-responsive transport (DRT) is a vital component of intermodal travel using public transit. Siemens, a leader in MaaS and DRT technology, presents a case study of Île-de-France Mobilités, showcasing innovative multi-operator DRT integration with an intermodal trip planner for accessible journey planning, booking and payment.
Micromobility, especially electrified micromobility, may become the most effective way to radically reduce transport emissions, provide equitable and sustainable transport, and reduce or eliminate road congestion. Every time an eScooter or an eBike replaces an SUV on a short trip there are a multitude of benefits. Here we examine the benefits of widespread micromobility, friction points like safety from accidents and batteries, the role of ITS, urban renewal, and make a call to action for policy makers.
The cascading behaviour of components of multimodality can be effectively visualized through system-level mapping using system dynamics. This visualization method, particularly through Causal Loop Diagrams, will be adopted in this study to deliver a holistic view of the interconnected variable components within the multimodal system, denoting its complexities.
