Theme
Transportation is changing and this change is driven by
technology-driven trends: Autonomy, Connectivity, Electrification
and diverse mobility business models of Shared vehicles. At the
same time there is a drive towards more sustainable
transportation. Digital platforms and services are essential for
orchestrating sustainable smart mobility service ecosystems: data
that represents accurately for instance location of passengers and
service providers, weather, usage and maintenance is a cornerstone
for service design. Identification and communication systems that
link specific physical things to specific digital addresses offer
possibilities to communicate, transact, pay, build trust, sense
and activate “things” from the internet – and design novel
services based on this generated data. Autonomous vehicles,
electric cars and mobility related sharing economy services are
all build on platform thinking, as do many services reducing the
need for travel to begin with.
Autonomous vehicles have been hailed as harbingers of new kinds of
mobility and travel services. Autonomous cars seem to be a bit
further away from wider prevalence than expected a couple of years
ago, but the data gathered for them and available from e.g. smart
city initiatives and mobile devices provides great opportunities
for smart mobility services, related to both private and public
transportation. Shipping industry, especially in cargo shipping,
has already many ongoing advanced projects and pilots, and in
aviation, autonomous aircrafts are being developed by several
companies. In closed and/or hazardous environments, such as mines,
autonomous vehicles are already working. Autonomous vehicles in
land, see and air (e.g. drones) are expected to decrease costs and
increase efficiency and safety, but a host of regulatory, safety,
legal and security challenges are yet to be resolved.
More acutely, electric cars are increasingly embraced by car
owners and they require their own set of infrastructure and
services. Full scale charging infrastructure needs building, and
it requires a lot of mobile services to support it. Some are
simple, like applications that show location and availability of
charging station, and some more complex, like payment systems for
charging and in the near future for trading electricity stored in
car batteries, which can be used in smart grid to balance peaks of
consumption. Societal benefits of moving from fossil fuels to
electricity in terms of reduction of pollution are quite clear,
but in addition to insufficient charging infrastructure, limited
driving range, high costs and battery issues still act as barriers
to wider acceptance.
At the same time there is a growing concern about sustainability
of current practices of mobility and travel. Mobility related
sharing economy services as well as different types of fleet
services are seen as viable options to privately owned cars, but
they have their own challenges, like added congestion in cities,
reconfiguring existing modes of (especially public)
transportation, disrupting incumbent industries and widening the
power imbalance between the platform owners and “independent
contractors”. These services require the ability to connect to
these specific platforms and seem to be prone to strong location
and availability-based network effects.
At the same time concerns about e.g. business traveling has become
acute in many countries and there are movements to limit both work
and leisure travel when possible. Could smart digital services and
apps offer alternatives for travel, or could there be services
that propose the best ways to limit the carbon footprint of
travel? W
e are also interested in their development, design and service
innovation. Furthermore, social, societal and potential customer
segmentation issues are of great interest. In this proposed
minitrack we take stock of what is the state of the art in current
mobility services and service ecosystems and what is coming in the
near future.
As HICSS is addressing leading edge developments, we especially
encourage submissions on new subareas, such as, sustainable travel
services, autonomous transportation services, and privacy and
security concepts.
Topics
Relevant topics for this minitrack include, but are not limited
to:
· Transportation ecosystems and services
· Smart traffic services
· Autonomous and connected vehicle development
· Autonomous vehicle (land, see, air) business models
· User issues in different smart traffic services
* Location-based services and business models related to mobility
* Business value of transportation and mobility services
* Data privacy and quality in mobility services
* Data sharing and ownership issues hampering data utilization in
mobility services
* Sustainable travel services
* Value added services for travelers (usage, location, maintenance
data)
* Business and societal issues related to autonomous vehicles
(land, see, air)
* Technological challenges of adaptability and adaptivity of
services
