Project Title
Creation and Improvement of Services for Integrated Mobility
Keywords
Integrated mobility, mobility as a service, circular economy, public transportation, sustainable transportation, governance, optimization, business intelligence
Brief Project Description
This project builds upon ongoing efforts to transform public and active transportation offerings, adapting them to new societal and economic realities. In this context, users demand integrated, diversified, and synchronized mobility services to benefit from a quality experience with fast and efficient connections. Such a system must also be sustainable to have a significant impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and ensuring equitable access for diverse users while respecting their privacy. This project proposes a synchronization and valorization platform for integrated mobility that aligns with the mobility-as-a-service movement, but is not exclusive to it, as it covers the integration of different public transportation services and adds complementary modes and services such as on-demand transportation and package delivery. By optimizing the use of existing transportation assets, these new models align with circular economy strategies.
In this context, we are looking for a Master’s or PhD candidate, with the aim of exploring contracting scenarios between different service providers, so that pricing schemes and transfers are compatible with i) stakeholders’ adherence to the service; and ii) a reduction in GHGs. Applicants should have an interest and expertise in at least one of the following areas: transport economics, environmental and natural resource economics, game theory, economic modeling, circular economics, dynamic programming, etc.
