Concept of interlinking mobility services for urban transport towards intermodal mobility including private and shared electromobility

摘要

This paper presents a user-friendly solution for the generation of individually tailored intermodal mobility solutions involving various mobility providers. This consists of three essential elements. The users request the route planning via an interactive communication platform (smartphone- and web application), book one of the given solutions and pay for it as a bundle. Preferences or boundary conditions, such as the necessity of accessibility, can be specified by the users. A cloud-based data management system (CDMS) serves as a central interconnection and computing unit. Here, the offers of various mobility providers, including local public transport, car and bike sharing providers, as well as real-time data from various modes of transport are bundled and used to calculate reliable, tailor-made overall solutions for users. The real-time data also includes states of charge and the current charging power of electric vehicles as well as the utilisation of the charging infrastructure and the supply network. Thus, the CDMS also promotes smart charging and grid services with vehicle batteries. Users are guaranteed a sufficient state of charge at the start of the journey. For vehicle owners, vehicle parking also becomes a business model by permitting the distribution network operator to use the rechargeable battery. A mobility and energy module (MEMo) serves as an interface for providing the necessary data of the vehicles and the infrastructure to the CDMS and for transmitting the control signals from the CDMS.
