¿Te limitas a la estación? Arrojamos luz y abordamos cuestiones en torno al diseño de las soluciones de movilidad contemporáneas: ¿cómo puede diseñarse la movilidad para satisfacer la demanda? ¿Qué influencia tienen las soluciones digitales en el desarrollo del transporte público actual? ¿Cuáles son las mentes brillantes de la industria que diseñan la movilidad y cómo lo hacen?
Recogemos nuestras ideas y respuestas a estas preguntas en nuestro bloc de notas digital. Por ti, por nosotros, por más impulsos emocionantes, por un sistema de transporte público moderno, por soluciones de movilidad inteligentes y fuertemente interconectadas.
Mobility as a Service: full speed ahead towards the mobility turnaround
Whenever we talk about the transport revolution and the associated restructuring of public transport, we cannot avoid the term «Mobility as a Service», abbreviated MaaS. But what exactly is «MaaS» and how can the digital approach help to sustainably advance the transport revolution?
Digital rail and on-demand rail replacement services
In Germany, up to 125 kilometres of rail are to be modernized by 2025. During the modernization, passengers will have to switch from rail to rail replacement services. This is also the case for passengers on the Stuttgart S-Bahn, while the main line there is being modernized this summer. Nevertheless, this rail replacement service is different, because: On weekends and weekend nights, it is main line offline – S-Bahn On-Demand online.
Perspectives from Alina Schuprin
As International Business Development Manager Alina Schuprin supports ioki’s mission to implement integrated mobility solutions not only on german roads, but all over Europe. Having a Master degree in industrial engineering Alina is experienced in anything that comes with digitalisation and its impact on established business areas. At ioki she combines this know-how with her personal goal to generate a positive impact on the environment with her daily work.
Perspectives from Jakob Kammerer
Jakob Kammerer is Head of Autonomous Mobility at ioki and thus responsible for developing the software that connects driverless vehicles with our operating system for digital mobility. After completing his B.Sc. in automotive engineering at the Technical University of Ilmenau in 2014, he progressed through several positions at Daimler, General Motors and the PSA Group into the field of mobility. Today we talk to Jakob about the supreme discipline of modern mobility: autonomous driving.
All aboard, please! Next stop: autonomous driving
ioki has already achieved a number of milestones in the field of autonomous driving, from test operations on closed terrain to linking an On-Demand-Booking-System with autonomous driving vehicles. In March 2021, the «Law on Autonomous Driving» was presented in the Bundestag, which clearly shows: The topic is gaining more weight not only among mobility designers, but also at the political level. In the bill presented, legal framework conditions were defined for fully automated driving in certain operating areas. In addition, further investments are to be made in research and development in the field to make the mobility of the future safer, more environmentally friendly and, above all, user centered. «Germany will be the first country in the world to bring autonomous vehicles out of the research labs and onto the road,» says Federal Minister Andreas Scheuer – ioki has already been working on this for several years and shows itself to be an innovator making progress here.
Perspectives from Jörg Starr
Jörg Starr has already passed through several stations in the automotive industry. He has already worked as a manager at Smart and Daimler. Today, the hydrogen mobility expert works for Audi. In addition, Jörg Starr is chairman of the Clean Energy Partnership (CEP). Technology, mineral oil and energy companies, gas producers and car manufacturers are working together to establish emission-free mobility with hydrogen and fuel cells across the board.
Why transport planning must be agile
Mobility is a highly complex construct, consisting a wide variety of puzzle pieces and dependent on diverse influencing variables. Since the beginning of professional planning of publicly oriented mobility services, public transport authorities and transport companies have been confronted with a multitude of questions and possible answers.
