Abstract:
Triggered by environmental concerns, smart mobility solutions have expanded in recent years. This includes the development of an electric vehicle market, car- and bike sharing concepts and better route planning systems for public transportation. The fusion of these approaches opens the door for new business models for cooperating industries in the field of multi-modal electric mobility. This paper provides a selection of scenarios about how the interplay between mobility- and infrastructure providers can affect their business models. It concludes that the continuous technical and business interactions between multiple partners would profit from the integration of an Open Service Platform that handles data management and coordination tasks for the partners.
