SCRIPTS - Smart Cities Responsive Intelligent Public Transport Systems

Finding new innovative solutions to meet the demand for transport while at the same time reducing the negative effects of traffic and transport has always been central to research in the area of traffic and transport. In order to limit the use of the car, good public transport is an important condition. However, offering high-quality public transport in areas and at times with a small demand has proved problematic. The '' Mobility as a service '' concept may offer a solution. This concerns demand-driven mobility, coordinated and supported by smart applications. Users subscribe to a certain bundle of transport services and can arrange flexible transport within preconditions.
Because the concept of MaaS has only been introduced in a few cities, little is known about the potential demand for this service, its use, network effects, etc. Nor is there much known about the effects of different business models. Scripts aims to gain more insight into these questions both in an empirical and theoretical sense. Because we assume that other mechanisms play a role in this process, alternative models based on concepts such as trust, emotion, uncertainty will be formulated and assessed for their value.
