More efficiency through on-demand transport

More efficiency through on-demand transport

People are more often online and more connected than ever – many companies take advantage of this situation. In this context, the usage of data as a basis for decision-making is also increasing and there is a growing consideration for the individual concerns of each and every person: The focus on the consumer is growing steadily and thus becoming an important part when it comes to product design. Inevitabily, mobility service providers have to (and should want to) keep up with this trend.

Perspectives from Michael Wurm Director of Mobility Analytics & Consulting at ioki

Michael Wurm is Director of Mobility Analytics & Consulting at ioki and brings 15 years of expertise in traffic planning & traffic modeling and his enthusiasm for data driven analysis to the table. He, is convinced that new mobility offers can only be successful with the right analytical derivation. Michael has been with ioki almost from the beginning. Growing up in the countryside, he has always been concerned with the question of how a life can function without a car – especially in rural areas. He, can therefore identify very well with ioki’s vision.

Today, he talks to us about the importance of new mobility solutions for existing systems, important issues in integrating new services and the power of data.

What are our neighbours up to?  – New Mobility in Europe

What are our neighbours up to? – New Mobility in Europe

Not only in Germany is the mobility of the future a central topic which is constantly gaining knowledge and alternative solutions. Looking over to our neighbours such as Sweden or the Netherlands shows that new mobility concepts are developing and establishing themselves in different ways in Europe.

Mobility Analytics: Planning new mobility offers

Mobility Analytics: Planning new mobility offers

Time for New Mobility: What would the best measures be worth without concrete implementation? Not much, exactly! And that’s why a mobility analysis is not only about evaluating the current situation and developing a catalogue of measures, but also and above all, in a very practical way, about planning the new mobility offers in line with the existing system.

We are always on the run: After work to our favorite place in the city, in the middle of the week to a business appointment once across the republic, on the weekend a short trip to a European metropolis and in the Easter holidays family vacation in the mountains…

Mobility Analytics: Analysing public transport systems

Preparation is half the battle: This also applies when planning new mobility offers. To ensure that they build optimally on existing solutions, it is advisable before any system changeover to first take an initial stock in the form of an analysis of the public transport system.
