Mobility hubs of the future : towards a new mobility behaviour
Publication details: Göteborg : RISE Research Institutes of Sweden AB, 2020Description: 38 sSubject(s): Online resources: Summary: Mobility hubs in the current transport system are often public transport nodes such as stations, airports and park & ride facilities. They can however be more than that. Through a considerate integration in existing transport systems, they facilitate everyday mobility and increase the overall efficiency of transport systems, enabling seamless travel alongside access to additional services. The proposed mobility hub framework is based on a catalogue of elements. Transportation and urban development challenges are analysed as closely linked topics, and, while starting from a mobility perspective, the future mobility hub becomes more than a transportation hub. It serves a specific purpose within each respective neighbourhood. Through becoming a new community centre, exhibition, event or office space, the hub becomes a vital part of the urban fabric. It transforms from a place of transition to a destination. In close collaboration with a Swedish municipality – Linköping – and the gas station operator OKQ8, location-specific applications of the proposed hub framework were developed that outline a base for a demonstration or pilot project later on.Mobility hubs in the current transport system are often public transport nodes such as stations, airports and park & ride facilities.
