Isabelle Nicolaï is Professor in Economics at University of Paris Saclay (UVSQ) and member of Laboratoire Genie Industriel (LGI) of CentraleSupélec. Her main research interests are management of eco-innovation, the modelling of new uses related to e-mobility, the links between global performance of firms and corporate social responsibility, multi-agents analysis tools and monetarization of environmental impacts. She combines university education and applied research activities for mutual benefit.
Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) offers tailored-made, on-demand mobility solutions to users by integrating on a single service subscription, public and private transport modes. However, the concept is still uncertain, and its current development and applicability is centered on developed countries. On the other hand, we advocate that MaaS is modular, adaptable, and applicable to several realities. In developing countries where public transport is mostly inefficient and insufficient, MaaS could help to “balance the scale” with private transport offerings, such as ridesharing. Casual carpooling could be an affordable alternative. Not only for being a low-tech transport mode but also for optimizing vehicle usage of idle seats. In that optics, we have identified drivers who would facilitate integrating casual practices into a MaaS. To identify the motivating factors behind casual carpooling and propose a strategy to implement it in a MaaS scheme, a quantitative survey was applied to 307 university students in the city Lavras, Brazil. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques. We assumed that casual carpooling is sustained by solidarity, simplicity, and agility; no costs to passengers; and institutionalized pickup points. Then, we identify principal strategic components to implement such an initiative. We concluded that casual carpooling as a low-tech transport mode could enhance local strategy for implementing an eco-innovative MaaS in places with inefficient public transport offerings.

The concept of Responsible Innovation holds that any innovation should take into account the balance of economic, ethical, social and sustainable aspects throughout the entire project in a manner that shows care for the future being constructed. However, as this concept is recent, originates in the context of the European Union and addresses issues of the Global North, critics have called for improvements in the way the concept is formulated. This article aims to establish a broader perspective to support the development of the concept of Responsible Innovation, which means discussing its main premises to highlight its critical aspects related to contextual terms, supporting a view to adapt it for use in different countries under various requirements and circumstances, thus facilitating its implementation on the path to innovation. Thus, an integrative review was developed. From an analysis of articles chosen based on research criteria, a useful theoretical framework was formed to fill the gaps in Responsible Innovation, comparing its perspectives to a traditional innovation, establishing a concept capable of yielding the expected benefits.

In this article we propose a decision-aid tool for local authorities to plan and implement their transport policies. We set out sustainable-mobility scenarios that depend on the geographical contexts of different areas based on 50 mobility offers, including active modes, car-sharing, public transport, etc. To do so we appeal to a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA), relying on an original two-step assessment method. We first use the diviz decision-aid tool to obtain a global score for each mobility offer, on the basis of 18 criteria covering the three pillars of sustainable development (economy, environment and society) and the concerns of the mobility actors themselves (historical actors, newcomers, public authorities and users). This step supports mobility management by local authorities, as it makes it possible to rank mobility offers by type of area. Second, we use the MICMAC decision-aid tool to construct the influence and dependency relationships between our 18 criteria. The aim of this step is to identify some relevant criteria that are determinant in a prospective or strategic analysis, in order to consider what could be a development scenario for the future of everyday mobility in various areas. As alternatives to personal car are rare, we apply this two-step method to the case of low-density areas, and find highlighting results concerning the role of carpooling combined with walking, both being assisted by a powerful mobility application.

By 2050, 70% of the world’s population will live in or around a city. Cities already generate 70% of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. The future of urbanisation will be smart, in which land use is optimised and the transport system is more efficient and environmentally friendly, providing affordable mobility services to ensure well-being in the city. In a smart city, urban and transport planning should be co-conducted harmoniously in order to create a new transit-supportive city, which is the wider context in which we position our vision of smart mobility. After this we present and analyse the links between the transport system, disruptive innovation, and the role of public policies in change management. In this chapter, we focus on the organisation of the co-conception of smart mobility, in a local territory, defining this as disruptive eco-innovation. The development and diffusion of innovations within the mobility ecosystem significantly disrupt usages and modify market boundaries. Implementation conditions to achieve a widespread adoption of smart mobility are discussed and the role and decision-making methods of territorial actors are considered.
