22nd Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), San Diego, CA, August 13-16, 2016

Mini-Track: Information Technology and Digitization for Sustainable Transportation Tack: Green IS and Sustainability (SIGGreen)

*Description*

The transportation sector continues to be a main driver of global CO2-emmissions and environmental pollution (IPCC 2014). However, technological progress and digitization are having a profound effect on transportation and mobility, potentially decimating their environmental footprint. Information technology and information systems play a critical role in this transition. Electric vehicles would be much less appealing without online maps of charging stations and a simple electronic payment system. Information systems for managing the charging process of large electric vehicle fleets are necessary to ensure stability of electricity grids (Schmidt et al. 2014, Kahlen et al. 2014). Carsharing, bikesharing, and ridesharing services as well as multimodal mobility approaches are enabled by interactive online platforms and marketplaces that allow customers to locate, reserve, and pay for the vehicles (Birdsall 2014). They are also supported by sophisticated analytics systems that address the spatial and temporal volatility of vehicle supply and demand (Wagner et al. 2015). Green Logistics enables enterprise to substantially reduce the environmental impact of their supply and distribution systems (Dedrick 2010). All of these developments challenge established management and innovation approaches for incumbent organizations.

This minitrack is inviting theoretical, empirical, and design-oriented papers that address how information technology, information systems, and digitization support the transition towards a sustainable mobility and transportation sector. Possible topics include but are not limited to:

Digital business models for sustainable transportation and mobility Managerial challenges stemming from the digital transformation of the mobility sector Decision support for sustainable transportation and mobility Analytics and Big Data facilitating sustainable transportation and mobility Green Logistics Digital services for electric mobility Acceptance of sustainable mobility services
