Mobility on Demand and ride pooling design and assessment tool

What SUM achieved: SUM extended and integrated MaaSSim, ExMAS and FleetPy based logic into a framework for ride pooling design, pricing and regulatory scenario analysis. Applied in the Rotterdam Hague regional context, it enabled assessment of pooling potential, market dynamics and policy choices such as labour cost assumptions.

Life beyond SUM: The strongest near term route is continued research grade use by cities, operators and innovation projects that need to assess shared ride service viability before deployment. Over time, further packaging could support a transition towards more consulting or planning toolchain use.

Target users: Cities, PT operators, shared mobility operators, MaaS actors and researchers.

Main barriers: Packaging and documentation are weaker than the analytical core; the distinction between pre existing tools and SUM generated integration work should be made explicit.

Post project actions and owner: TUD is expected to continue technical reuse and further packaging after project close.
