“…Most of the published studies that include IMM platforms cover the concept rather superficially [2,9,25] or focus on the technical implementation of IMM platforms [26][27][28][29][30], which is challenging due to the necessary integration of multiple transportation systems and complex user preferences. Others have analysed the usage and users of intermodal transport in general, finding that a small percentage of citizens are using those opportunities of intermodal travel that are already available, but that intermodal trips are usually longer and of a routine nature compared to unimodal trips [31,32]. So far, the literature lacks a systematic and theory-driven investigation of (potential) users' perceptions, requirements and acceptance of IMM platforms.…”

Car Sharers’ Interest in Integrated Multimodal Mobility Platforms: A Diffusion of Innovations Perspective

Integrated multimodal mobility (IMM) platforms are being discussed as a promising solution to facilitate the transition to sustainable transport in both urban and rural areas. The idea behind such platforms is to provide a one-stop-shop offering information, booking and payment options for multiple means of transport. The aim of this paper, based on diffusion of innovations theory (DoI), is to investigate the interest in IMM platforms, as well as the factors in potential user groups that may influence the intention to use them. A sample of 711 car-sharing users responded to an online questionnaire containing items on DoI variables, as well as on the specific requirements concerning IMM platforms. The results show that few members of car-sharing schemes have used IMM platforms before, but that the interest in them is generally high. Perceived advantage and personal compatibility show the strongest associations with the intention to adopt IMM platforms followed by innovativeness, observability of use (social visibility of the innovation) and perceived technology security. Additionally, a target group was defined for the efficient and effective promotion of IMM platforms in an early market phase. Measures to promote IMM platforms were suggested based on this group’s perceptions and their specific requirements.

“…Multimodal transport systems for freight in urban areas are at an early stage of development [8] and for passenger transport, the needed integration of different modes is an open challenge, as shown by the low sustainability in the user availability of such offers [9]. Residents of urban centres solve this challenge in individual information work, provided they are prepared to be flexible and have the necessary knowledge to deal with information and means of transport [10]. Due to historically grown infrastructure and spatial traffic conditions, intermodal transport systems, for both goods and people, usually require solutions for the so-called last mile in order to successfully integrate individual and public passenger transport [11] and to make the transport of end user-related goods more efficient [12].…”

Light electric vehicles (LEVs) facilitate a significant reduction in global warming potential (GWP) and other environmental impacts related to specific transport performance due to their lightweight construction. Low-voltage systems in the drive engine, an open vehicle design and online vehicle data processing allow LEVs to be repaired by independent workshops, thus enabling long vehicle use as well as conversion or retrofitting for periods of use beyond 20 years. LEVs are not yet very common in everyday life in Western Europe. In order to support the acceptance of muscle power-supported LEVs in the EU L7e registration class by users, the vehicle design and construction specifically address requirements in the areas of last-mile parcel delivery and other transport services, including passenger transport. Life cycle assessment was used to investigate two construction methods for LEVs, mixed construction and fibre composite construction, in terms of the production, service life phase and end of life. A vehicle configuration was developed which, in addition to resource-saving production and long-life operation, enables easy access for users and maintenance of the LEV for various purposes. The resource efficiency of light electric vehicles was proven with regard to the ecological aspects. The vehicle design shown here shows high potential for LEVs in the circular economy.

“…The wide variety of transport alternatives in addition to the density and mix of uses in urban areas provide a good basis for people to use and combine different modes of transport in their everyday mobility in a flexible, individual and situational way [15,32]. Using different modes over the course of a week (multimodality) [1,39] or within one trip (intermodality) accounts for a considerable percentage of the total number of trips undertaken, especially in cities [10,23]. Regarding trips, we use the term unimodal trip for the use of one transport mode on a single trip for one trip purpose.…”

“…In contrast, an intermodal trip is characterized by the combination of different transport modes on a single trip for one trip purpose [28]. Intermodal mobility behavior has also been analyzed empirically [23,[41][42][43]51]. These studies have shown that the share of intermodal mode choice at the modal split is quite low by comparison with unimodal usage.…”

This paper aims to develop a user typology which enables user-specific analyses in respect of mobility behavior. It addresses the challenge of integrating unimodal and intermodal travel behavior into a user typology to obtain an overview of intermodal users within the context of their overall mobility behavior. The user typology is based on two cluster analyses (agglomerative hierarchical clustering) which use quantitative survey data on unimodal and intermodal mobility behavior obtained for Berlin, Germany. One cluster analysis was performed for unimodal use and one for intermodal mode use to take into account the users' relatively low use of intermodal modes as well. The analyses resulted in 6 intermodal and 5 unimodal clusters based on users' mobility behavior. Since in each case every individual is assigned to one intermodal and one unimodal cluster, the resulting intermodal and unimodal clusters were then combined in order to represent the overall mobility behavior of each individual as mobility types. The mobility types are further characterized by information on socio-demographics and mobility resources obtained from the dataset. These enhanced mobility types (EMT) provide a clearer impression of the users' characteristics and needs. This user typology takes account of the wide range of mobility options available in cities today and the resulting diversity in people's mobility behavior. To enable us to address the needs of users who combine several modes of transport within one trip, the proposed procedure approaches the challenge of integrating intermodal behavior into user types. The results provide a user typology which combines intermodal and unimodal travel behavior with personal characteristics and enable researchers and practitioners to work on user-specific research questions and planning tasks.
