Tariff Setting Software - dynamic pricing for NSM

What SUM achieved: SUM advanced a bilevel optimisation framework for traveller centric pricing and curated trip recommendation in integrated PT and shared mobility. Using Geneva Living Lab data, the model showed that pricing design can increase multimodal trip share and NSM uptake while preserving operator logic. This gives planners and operators a much more rigorous basis for testing pricing structures than ad hoc discount design.

Life beyond SUM: After SUM, the most credible route is continued use in research and innovation projects, selective consulting reuse for pricing studies, and eventual incorporation into broader MaaS decision support environments. The result is not yet a ready to deploy operational product; its value lies in strengthening pricing logic for future deployments.

Target users: PT operators, MaaS providers, transport researchers and city planners.

Main barriers: Low TRL, dependence on detailed operational data and the need for interfaces with ticketing or MaaS systems before routine deployment.

Post project actions and owner: INRIA will continue experimentation and model refinement through 2026 2027, with selective wider use in later follow on projects.
