Urban Mobility and Intermodality
Numerous initiatives are today adressing transports optimization in urban areas . Among them:
Some looks at improving the use of Public Transportation means:
Means occupancy rates vary today from 25 to 46 % in the best case (Paris area, STIF data)
Some attempt to optimize car and trucks traffic in cities
Some promote alternative transports means (car sharing, bicycles, …)
Some aims to push intermodality (use of multiple means)
…
Improvements requires now to address the widest possible scope in mobility optimization & to target the global optimisation of transports and space in urban areas
A mix of Macro and Micro views
In transportation, optimizing moves has many meanings :
For local autorities : a statistical view
having more people transported for the same cost
Polluting less by lowering the amount of traffic jams, …
For travellers & drivers : an individual concern
Moving faster, in a more comfortable way, cheaper …
For Public Transport Operators : looking for better operations
Adjusting demand and offer, while ensuring increasing safety and security needs
Adapting more dynamically to events and expectations,…
For professional drivers and Car fleets members : ressources efficiency
Better access and use of urban space and ressources
Global optimisation requires to simultaneously address
these meanings both in their micro and macro dimensions
Optimization Directions
Optimization of Urban Transportation may be achieved by different ways :
Limiting and avoiding moves
Leisure moves versus required utilitarian moves, …
Enhancing existing means of transportation
Tramways versus busses generalisation, driverless buses, …
Enhancing uses of means of transportation
Better car pooling & car sharing, …
Enhancing the moving environment
Managing urban space & crossroads, …
Providing new ways of moving
Bicycle pools in cities, community electric cars, …
Each depending on exchanges from
others

Multimodality for people and goodsin urban areas
In the Instant Mobility vision, every journey and every transport movement is part of a fully connected and self-optimising ecosystem. Whatever the traveller's situation (office, home, on-trip…) Instant Mobility will deliver useful Future Internet enabled services.
The traveller will receive personalised and real-time solutions to support him reaching his destination according to for instance real-time traffic status, public transport availability along his journey.
Instant Mobility will develop sustainable transportation practices with a dedicated focus on sharing modalities of all kind of vehicles.
Instant Mobility will also provide new ways to optimize urban traffic. Fleet operators’ management and goods delivery monitoring are key components of Instant Mobility holistic vision of urban mobility.
All this made possible through a web of online services using a new Transport and Mobility Future Internet…
Complementary Use Cases / Scenarios
Sc. 1 – Multimodal travel made easy
This scenario will show the possibilities provided by the availability of complete multi-modal travel information and the capabilities provided by additional competing third party services
Sc. 2 – the sustainable car
This scenario will demonstrate privacy friendly ways to collect travel information from current and future travellers and drivers and the car usage optimisation that its anonymous processing will provide.
Sc. 3 – collective transport 2.0
This scenario will show the benefits of a coordinated multi-modal information exchange in a traveller oriented way, between multiple public transport operators and the benefits of a fully dematerialized dynamic payment system
Sc. 4 – trucks and the city
This scenario will address the topic of urban space usage optimisation and regulation for trucks and goods related issues
Sc. 5 – online traffic & infrastructure management
This scenario will address the topic of traffic optimisation and the benefits expected both for cities and users of a smart use of real-time information
The Scenarios will fuel a managed data exchange platform in PPP-FI phase 2
The Future Internet hypothesis
The FI-PPP speak for “a Future Internet hypothesis”: FI-PPP request its actors to imagine tomorrow Internet capabilities (called
enablers)
This is not rocket science as things on a worldwide scale evolves more slowly than new ideas
However, it forces to imagine what will be of widespread & common use in 5 to 10 years
Instant Mobility makes three such assumptions: Availability as needed of location information of each possible transport element
and/or each traveller (all the time, anywere, in real time)
Availability of immediat communication with guaranteed QOS for the required bandwith (anyware, anytime)
Capability to provide specifically crafted solutions to each traveller and adjust it in real time (simultaneously for millions of travellers)
With first answers in four years and improvement over time
Betting on “Complete Information”
What kind of travel optimisation would be possible if for someone knowing continuously and in real time ?
The location and destination of each traveller
Including their requirements and preferences (travelling with a pet, blind person,…)
The location and status of each possible means of transports
Each bus, tram, taxi, private car, bicycle, …
The INSTANT MOBILITY project assume that: This information may be made available in a secure & privacy safe way
It will become possible to greatly optimize urban mobility using such “Complete Information”
It is possible to devise some “leader services” able to start the creation of the overall system (collecting & publishing this information)
Instant Mobility will define such a system and prove its feasibility
1. Define, specify and validate a real-time multi-modal navigation and planning subsystem to optimally match individual journey request with available means of transportation, including private ones
real time continuous update of means of transportation and travellers for travels individual planning
2. Define, specify and simulate the Instant Mobility framework for Mobile Devices to automate multi-modal transport solution offers
Automate sharing of cars space (car pooling/sharing on the fly)
3. Define, specify and prototype a common vocabulary for real-time localization, destination and capabilities of public and private transport information
Publish PTO information in a standardized way
Instant Mobility main objectives (1)
4. Define a dematerialized multi-modal automated payment system for nomadic devices Allow multi-modal virtual payment (billing & pricing)
5. Study the acceptability and safety conditions for a generalization of demand-driven multi-modal transportation in particular using social networking tools Guarantee acceptability and promote the system
6. Multi-modal freight transport in urban areas based on customers' profiling Integrate management of parcels, trucks and parking in real
time
7. Demand-driven transportation Study the impacts of exactly knowing all travel plans and
provide transport recommandations on global and local levels
Instant Mobility main objectives (2)
