MOBILITY, ACCESSIBILITY & SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY

• URBAN MOBILITY is a mean to the end of accessibility and must:• Ensure the realization of accessibility: citizens must reach destinations to satisfy needs and

have access to places where activities happen

• Be Sustainable: accounting for technicalities and other means to achieve the realization of accessibility

• TECHNOLOGY seen as a necessary but not sufficient condition

When and where the traveler needs, in the most efficient way

MOBILITY is the movement of people and goods efficiently and safely and may be regarded as the ability to travel

SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY CHALLENGES

SUSTAINABILITY concerns three main concepts:

Currently addressed by the dominating Technological Trends

• Vehicles (Electrical/Connected/Autonomous)

• Energy Sources & Propulsion Technologies

• ICT → Ubiquitous availability of mobile devices (data sources & information receivers

But there are risks that technology dominated solutions led to• Do the same things differently • (e.g. replace propulsion and automotive technologies as if personal motorized

mobility will not change)

• Apply technology to specific tasks without changing their character

Paradigm Changes From “Car Ownership” to “Vehicle Usage”

New Business Models - Growth of Car Sharing

Multiple Passengers Trip Sharing

Mobility as a Service (MaaS)

New forms of multimodality

Urban Form & Urban Dynamics • How do they determine mobility

• Technology enabling of “virtual accessibility”making physical mobility unnecessary

CHANGING THE PARADIGM: THE CITY AS A COMPLEX DYNAMIC SYSTEM OF SYSTEMS

“Solutions” for Smart Cities are predominantly dominated by technology

But “smart city solutions must start with the city not the smart”

• Understanding the city as a complex system

• How work the interactions between the “diamond” components of

the “Smart City”

Understanding how a city’s mobility system will

evolve as a consequence of the underlying forces

and their interactions

URBAN MOBILITY AS A COMPLEX SUBSYSTEM OF A COMPLEX SYSTEM: THE CITYMethodological approach: combining System Dynamics and Transportation

Modeling to account for the multiple variables, feedback loops between components,

and the role of the influencing factors, e.g. social and technological paradigm shifts

Interaction between individual mobility, accessibility,

locational behavior and technological change

SHAPING THE URBAN MOBILITY OF THE FUTURE

Also implies thinking of doing different things

That is looking for new approaches to solving problems

CARNET’S main objective of “bridging the gap between automotive

industry and urban mobility” is aimed at contributing to set up the premises to achieve a better future

The event today is just a first invitation to a joint reflection in that direction
