MCube: SASIM - Smart Advisor for Sustainable Integrated Mobility

Project Description

The project aims to prepare the full costs of various forms of mobility in their entirety and to communicate them transparently to decision-makers. Based on the full costs, mobility options can be evaluated in terms of their sustainability depending on the temporal and spatial context. The project aims at developing innovative approaches to promote sustainable mobility behavior utilizing cost transparency, awareness-raising, and planning and steering elements.

The central result of the project is the tool "Smart Advisor for Sustainable Integrated Mobility" (SASIM), which has the functionality of a full-cost calculator. SASIM provides evaluated mobility options for individual travel requests. In addition, scenarios for a holistic, dynamic pricing system based on the full costs of different mobility options are created as a project result. Pricing incentives, which can be embedded in a mobility-as-a-service system in the future, make it possible to influence mobility behavior across different modes of transportation. Further strategic application perspectives of SASIM will be elaborated to be utilized in policy and planning.
