The delivery challenge
|
Establishing the optimal delivery structure
April 19, 2023 8
• Promoting and consolidating new approaches for the establishment of PTAs as convergence centres of expertise
• www.eptaproject.eu
|
Metropolitan public transport authorities
• Cooperation platforms between different local authorities to provide quality public transport
• Efficient management of the PT system through gathering key competences at one point, thus supporting LAs in managing transport systems
• Better because integrated information
• More intuitive ticketing: single ticket
• Better network design: coordinated subsystems
• Lower management costs

Exploitation of projectBus System Innovations
Innovation strategy
Quality Label
A Vision: EBSF and EBSF II
Recognised as reference project for European Bus System research:•an intelligent system: making efficient use of information, and providing different bus system solutions adapted to specific needs of all stakeholders•with innovative vehicles : providing im-proved comfort and accessibility for drivers and passengers, making smart use of energy on board•integrated in European urban scenarios: adapted to modern and historical cities, taking into account future mobility trends, featuring new services for passengers and operators

Infomobility services: POLITE
April 19, 2023 13
Enhancing attractiveness and thus use of public transport through better travel information
•support co-modality, efficient use of various modes separately and in synergy, to optimise public transport options
•assist public sector and decision makers by providing knowledge and skills related to policies for infomobility measures deployment
•focus attention on various already existing and proven good practice solutions in Europe
•stimulate coordinated implementation of interoperable ITS for PT across borders

Personalised travel planning: MyWay
European Smart Mobility Resource ManagerMultimodal journey planner with integrated ticket purchasing
and automatic travel readjustments that encourages cleaner modes of transport.
• Improved real journey times• Reduced congestion• Increased multi-modal split• Three test sites:
• Berlin (DE), Catalonia (ES) and Trikala (GR)
• Policy & research recommendations• Business models• http://myway-project.eu
• 09/2013– 02/2016

Intermodality: NODES
• Interchanges play a key role in the integration of the urban mobility system and in enabling good intermodal solutions• Their efficiency and sustainability is therefore essential to achieve
sustainable transport objectives in Europe• Building a toolbox to support European cities in the design and operation of
new or upgraded interchanges• As a way to provide greater support, services and satisfaction to
travellers and users, as well as to interchange operators and those societal and economic actors depending on the efficiency of interchange operations
• Five key areas:• Land use & Infrastructure, design, intermodality & ICT, management and
business models, energy & environment• www.nodes-interchanges.eu

Marketing research as optimisation tool in PT
• Marketing research can be used for evaluation and improvement purposes and for predicting future changes in transport behaviour
• Effective way of recognising future and current market needs
• Valuable support tool for transport modelling and sustainable urban mobility planning
• Improves the efficiency of public expenditure
• Better evaluation and monitoring of quality of services
• Can be low-cost!
