Supporting Sustainable Mobility with the Help of Work Organizations

Persuasive Design for Sustainable Mobility

“…Sustainability is still relatively peripheral to transport regime interests but is beginning to receive attention slowly but steadily [18]. Many countries and cities like France, Belgium, Bellevue and San Francisco have introduced new sets of policies and incentives like travel plans and discounts for travel passes to increase the usage of public transport to reduce the usage of Single Occupancy Vehicles (SOV) and encourage their citizens to use sustainable transport options [20]. But, this transition towards sustainable mobility needs to be gradual and should aim to contribute to social and economic welfare, without damaging or depleting the environmental resources [18].…”

“…Nowadays, researchers are coming up with interventions involving interactive systems which involve the users and try to induce behaviour change in them. This is called Sustainable HCI (Human Computer Interaction) and is being widely used for persuasive sustainability [20]. Such interactive systems are generally based on Fogg's Behaviour Model and their main aim is to convince their users to opt for more sustainable transport options [1] [20].…”

Such interactive systems are generally based on Fogg's Behaviour Model and their main aim is to convince their users to opt for more sustainable transport options [1] [20]. There are many applications present in the market which are trying to promote sustainable mobility like TRIPZOOM, PerCues, UbiGReen, EcoIsland, I-Tour, Green Daily Guide, SUPERHUB, MOTIVATE, OPTIMUM, SMART, BikeTogether, EcoTrip, etc [19].…”

“…Transport is a crucial sector for promoting sustainability, but changing the habits of the mass population is a hard challenge even though local governments and companies have developed various interventions to support sustainable mobility [20]. The results are sparse, and the majority of them do not reach the critical mass necessary to have sufficient impact, thus making it difficult for the local governments and companies to systematically and actively engage work organizations and commuters in such efforts [20].…”

Transforming Last-mile Logistics

“…Sustainable HCI (SHCI) is a field within HCI that looks to develop more sustainable technologies and trajectories through the application of HCI. Related SHCI work has focused on helping commuters and travellers make more sustainable transport choices [32], interfaces and information system for promoting more sustainable transport systems [50], environmentally sustainable urban mobility [14,33], developing a sourcemap for sustainable supply chains [13], reducing energy consumption and improving commuters' experiences [16], dilemmas around transportation choices when considering sustainability [41] and designing interventions for more sustainable transport practices [44]. Prior work has also explored the design of persuasive interfaces to encourage eco-driving [62,54], and mapping of more fuel efficient routing between locations [34].…”
