“…From these contexts, the key concept behind the idea of "mobility-as-a-service" (MaaS) develops, [20]. MaaS has the ambition to put users, both passengers and freight, at the centre of transport services, offering them tailor-made mobility solutions based on individual needs.…”

The application of artificial intelligence (AI) to dynamic mobility management can support the achievement of efficiency and sustainability goals. AI can help to model alternative mobility system scenarios in real time (by processing big data from heterogeneous sources in a very short time) and to identify network and service configurations by comparing phenomena in similar contexts, as well as support the implementation of measures for managing demand that achieve sustainable goals. In this paper, an in-depth analysis of scenarios, with an IT (Information Technology) framework based on emerging technologies and AI to support sustainable and cooperative digital mobility, is provided. Therefore, the definition of the functional architecture of an AI-based mobility control centre is defined, and the process that has been implemented in a medium-large city is presented.

“…Different evolutions of MaaS (e.g., T-MaaS and I-MaaS) take into account additional aspects of the matter. For example, S-MaaS considers network design and demand management classes [65]. In general, MaaS is an opportunity to address mobility challenges as they relate to sustainability [66].…”

Greek cities hold important urban issues related to social injustice; lack of open spaces, pedestrian facilities, parks and greenery, access to public amenities, etc. In view of these, we investigated residents’ preferences and choices regarding their walking activities in the urban environment of Thessaloniki, Greece. In specific, we applied research with questionnaires to the residents of the municipality of Ampelokipoi-Menemeni. The research applied the Contingent Valuation Method to investigate residents’ willingness to pay (WTP) for the improvement of the existing infrastructure of public space in view of making walking and the use of local metro stations more attractive. A methodological framework was developed, including Explanatory Factor Analysis and Structural Equation Modelling, along with statistical analysis of the results. The lack of pedestrian facilities and the long walking distances are two main reasons discouraging the use of the metro. CVM application showed that almost half of the residents would be willing to contribute an amount of money for the improvement of pedestrian infrastructure. The main reasons for this were to make the use of the metro more attractive, which would also improve their living conditions and would contribute to a better quality of life. Income restrictions proved highly important to a negative WTP.

“…Optimizing the interaction between the user and MaaS is really challenging, as many different personal attitudes are considered [34]; yet, it is expected that the outcomes of the present paper can shed some light on this topic and assist both policy makers and MaaS providers to understand what needs to be carried out for fostering the adoption of MaaS in a way that can fulfill the expectations of the relevant stakeholders. Thus, this paper contributes to the topic of Sustainable MaaS, which has been extensively discussed by other researchers [35,36]. The paper also focuses on an interesting case study, where, on the one hand, MaaS is relatively unknown and sounds unusual, since even shared mobility options are still limited, and, on the other hand, it sounds promising, since the existing transportation system does not provide attractive alternatives to the use of private cars.…”

Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is an innovative urban mobility concept that aims to provide a competitive alternative to the use of private cars, by integrating various transportation services. Until today, limited MaaS schemes have been implemented and, in most cases, without succeeding to justify the hype. For achieving the goals of MaaS it is essential to capture holistically the expectations and barriers, as perceived by both the end-users and the various involved stakeholders. This paper aims to bridge this gap, by conducting two surveys in the city of Thessaloniki, Greece; the first survey targeted local authorities, organizations and mobility providers, while the second survey focused on (potential) end-users. The responses of stakeholders were analyzed through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, in order to identify the importance of barriers and expectations. On the other hand, the responses of end-users were analyzed statistically and two ordered logit models were developed for identifying the characteristics of those that are more likely to adopt MaaS. The results of the analyses indicate that there is a loop between MaaS and private car usage; on the one hand, the dominance of private cars hinders the adoption of MaaS, but on the other hand, MaaS can be a “tool” for encountering car domination. The results also enhance the idea that public transport is an essential component of MaaS.
