MaaS Market London: rising tide won’t lift all transport providers

In his keynote address to the second day of ITS International’s MaaS Market Conference (London, 20-21 March), connected vehicle expert Frederic Bruneteau will consider ‘The harsh reality of urban mobility: Winners and losers in the MaaS value chain’. The founder and managing director of Ptolemus Consulting, Bruneteau will argue that while Mobility as a Service (MaaS) may replace 2.3 billion car journeys by 2023, not all service providers will benefit – evidence of which is becoming increasingly apparent.

In his keynote address to the second day of 1846 ITS International’s 8545 MaaS Market Conference (London, 20-21 March), connected vehicle expert Frederic Bruneteau will consider ‘The harsh reality of urban mobility: Winners and losers in the MaaS value chain’. The founder and managing director of 8294 Ptolemus Consulting, Bruneteau will argue that while Mobility as a Service (MaaS) may replace 2.3 billion car journeys by 2023, not all service providers will benefit – evidence of which is becoming increasingly apparent.

With the MaaS app showing travellers all available travel options for every trip, participating transport providers get visibility to a large pool of potential new customers. However, customer loyalty diminishes and means the difference between winning and losing could come down to minor oversights, sub-optimal services or poor timetabling.

Dr Artur Mausbach from the Royal College of Art will expand on this view as he examines how this changing face of transport is influenced by, and impacts on, the design of vehicles, stations, bus stops and modal interchanges. And in an unusual theme for a transport conference, 378 Cubic’s Andy Taylor will consider the importance of trust in the shared mobility services that are becoming commonplace in urban areas.

Many more vital aspects of MaaS will be examined and debated during the conference. For more details and to book tickets, go to %$Linker: 2 External <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary /> 0 0 0 link-external www.maas-market.com false https://www.maas-market.com/ false false%>

    Uber IPO ‘could be valued at $120 billion’
    Uber could be valued as high as $120 billion if the ride-hailing company goes public, as expected, in 2019 – despite being permanently in the red. Major US banks Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley have made valuation proposals to Uber, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal this week. This means the initial public offering (IPO) could be one of the largest in history – and Uber has yet to record a full-year profit. If the figure is correct, it would mean that Uber is worth more than three of the

    Bollards bounce back with Saedi’s Augustaflex
    Reducing the cost of replacing damaged or demolished traffic signs is the aim of Saedi’s Augustaflex technology, which is on show here. Even relatively minor impacts can damage street traffic signs or bollards to the point where they have to be replaced, at considerable cost to local authorities. And those signs that do not have to be replaced but sustain damage can spoil a streetscape.
