Future Mobility

Future Mobility stakeholders and investors are interested in emerging modes of transport as they promise to disrupt the mobility mix as we know it.

The design and roll-out of these solutions raises numerous uncertainties of a technical, economic and organisational nature. Beyond the dreams and the hype, how can the relevance and feasibility of emerging mobilities be determined?

Improving the Existing Mobility Mix

Future mobility is the collection of solutions made possible by new technologies that disrupt and change transport systems for operators, public stakeholders and users.

Some examples of future mobilities include:

Autonomous vehicles
Electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL)
Hyperloops

MICROMOBILITY OPTIONS FOR END-TO-END JOURNEYS

User demand has brought about a number of new mobility options that help to enable complete end-to-end journeys. New micromobility options, such as e-scooters, e-bikes, and bike sharing, can help to fill in the gaps between existing fixed-route public transport service provision. They provide not only first-mile to last-mile options, but also promote the shift towards healthier, active and even social transport solutions. SYSTRA understands the role that new mobility options play, and also the need for smart digital infrastructure to help provide truly joined-up solutions.

How will new technologies benefit communities?

New technologies help to improve the mobility mix by making our modes of transport more efficient, faster, safer and more environmentally-friendly

New technologies will contribute to improving the existing mobility mix through the introduction of new types of services that are more flexible and consumer oriented.

New technologies are transformative in that they can lead to new transport systems and opportunity.

Our APPROACH

SYSTRA offers a 3-step support solution to help innovation stakeholders to make their project a reality, investors to direct their investments and decision-makers to roll out disruptive mobility services in their area:

Understanding the ecosystem and solutions: we provide support to our clients as part of the process to define their requirements using evaluations and mapping of stakeholders and solutions, design studies for various contexts, feasibility studies (analysis of technical constraints, financial viability, etc.), comprehensive technical audits of innovative solutions, etc.;

Designing systems and preparing for roll-out: we get involved at the preliminary study phase to design the systems (outline and detailed preliminary project design) and co-construct a road map for development and implementation, which includes drafting a business plan;

Overall project implementation: we support the client throughout implementation, carrying out project management of the validation of studies for testing and commissioning. Innovative projects are not traditional transport projects and require specific management capable of adapting to technical difficulties never encountered before. We can provide hi-tech technical expertise (safety, systems, operation, etc.) in partnership with innovation stakeholders.

They have confidence in us

The projects we lead are always the fruit of close collaboration between our teams, our clients and our partners. And it is they who speak most highly of them.

As a member and partner of our research groups, SYSTRA has contributed greatly to identifying, studying and quantifying the opportunities and challenges of urban air mobility and its future airport infrastructure. Their expertise and professionalism were greatly appreciated.
