Third Industrial Revolution Consulting Group
provide users tailor-made transport solutions based on individual needs – with the objective of
enabling users to enjoy a seamless on-demand travel experience.
The Mobility-as-a-Service digital platform will be set up in collaboration with all private and
public transportation stakeholders and in cooperation with neighboring countries for a “Grande
Region” approach that will eventually unify standardization, regulations, ticketing schemes, and
booking services across the European Union.
The current mobiliteit.lu platform is limited to domestic bus, train, and pedestrian paths and
does not yet include other mobility options. However, in 2014, the Verkéiersverbond
introduced a new RFID public mobility card called the “mKaart.” In addition to public transport
tickets, the card is designed to give access to all other modes of mobility services. Secured bike
parks – “mBox” – can already be accessed via the mKaart and beginning in 2017, the mKaart
will also enable access to park and ride facilities and 1,600 charging points. This is a very good
basis for a comprehensive platform.
Such a system is currently evolving with the mobiliteit.lu and will stand as a centerpiece of the
Mobility Internet. Information provided will show all public transport solutions as well as P+R
availability for private car transport, bikes and e-bikes availability, walking times, ride sharing
options, booking services and road user charging, and dynamic pricing for parking, depending
on peak / off-peak hours. In the long run, this could also serve as a platform where people can
share their autonomous car and generate revenues. The single-entry system is a response to
the multiplication of sharing platforms that are part and parcel of the new mobility solutions. It
should be set up in cooperation with all private and public transportation stakeholders and with
neighboring countries for a “Grande Region” approach that will eventually unify
standardization, regulations, ticketing schemes, booking and services across the European
Union.
For the Mobility-as-a-Service system to work properly, it is important that:
- A single travel document must be available for mobility throughout the region and for
every mode of transportation.
- Information about all available transport means must be easier to access and understand.
