Call for Book Chapters: Implications of Digital Systems on Mobility as a Service

The transport sector has undone a period of rapid change in the past 30 years, and while these changes have taken on different forms within individual transport modes (low-cost business models in aviation, digitalisation of assets and and the introduction of in-cab signalling on the railways, the deployment of managed motorways and traffic control on the highways) all have been enabled by the greater use of ICT and by the exploitation of data (customer, asset, and environmental).

"Implications of Digital Systems on Mobility as a Service" explores the role of data in the future of multimodal transport, showcasing the work of leading organisations in the transportation research community, and highlighting the roles that promising new technologies will play in readying our transport networks for the 21st century.

The book will showcase outstanding examples of ongoing work in the transport research community, and use them as a platform to discuss the implications of digital systems on the growth of Mobility as a Service. It will provide a snapshot of the challenges facing transport, both as individual modes and as a multimodal provider of mobility services to travellers. Infrastructure, financial, and climate pressures mean that all sectors must adapt to modern ways of working, and individual transport modes cannot continue to function in isolation if we are to deliver, as an industry, the benefits that we all claim in terms of a cleaner, greener, more personalised travel experience in the future.
