Making the shift
When Arthur D. Little (ADL) first set up its Future of Mobility Lab in 2010, there was much optimism that by now, we would have made significant progress toward the goal of more sustainable, resilient, safe, inclusive, efficient, and human-centric mobility systems in our cities. Technological developments — particularly the rapid advances of digitalization, connectivity, and automation — promised the ability to deliver tailored, diverse, and convenient mobility solutions to customers that would be attractive enough to prompt a major shift away from private cars.

Transport à la demande dynamique : Un jalon de plus pour la mobilité
Appuyé par la technologie et en phase avec les habitudes numériques des usagers, le transport à la demande dynamique (appelé ici simplement par l’acronyme TAD ou DRT en anglais) étend l’offre de mobilité partagée et optimise les transports en commun. Dans ce Viewpoint, nous examinons dans quelle mesure le TAD peut aider les autorités organisatrices (AO) et les opérateurs de transport public à construire des systèmes de mobilité plus durables, résilients et centrés sur les besoins.

DRT: A key lever to bridge mobility gaps
Empowered by technology and in line with customers’ digital habits, demand-responsive transport (DRT) is extending shared-mobility coverage and optimizing public transit. In this Viewpoint, we examine the extent to which DRT can help public transport authorities (PTAs) and public transport operators (PTOs) build more sustainable, resilient, and human-centric mobility systems.

TRANSFORMATION IN THE EUROPEAN USED CAR MARKET

TRANSFORMATION IN THE EUROPEAN USED CAR MARKET
The European used car (UC) market is seeing unparalleled attention and investment. While OEMs have long understood the links between new and used markets, they typically exercised only indirect control over second and third transactions. New, well-funded channels have emerged, as OEMs struggle to simultaneously manage the powertrain transition and investments in software-enabled vehicles. OEMs’ pursuit of downstream value is creating a clash with the disruptors: UC supermarkets, vertically integrated competitors, and digital platforms.

End-to-end incident management in transport: A key driver of customer excellence
Performance around punctuality (and regularity) has not made enough progress in reaching customers’ high standards in spite of many programs. Similarly, the occurrence of other adverse events — faulty passenger information, defective seats — and the absence of prompt, satisfactory treatment of such issues generate disappointment, which may offset any positive customer experiences. In this Viewpoint, we reflect on the levers transport operators should put in place to better prevent, identify, and control operational incidents — and boost customer satisfaction.

How to realize the promise of Mobility-as-a-Service
François-Joseph Van Audenhove, Mickael Tauvel
Setting the scene It has been said that diseases shape cities, from the development of urban sewers in the 19th century as a response to cholera outbreaks, to the COVID-19 pandemic today, which has acted as a watershed for city authorities to reflect and reset mobility visions and strategies. Similarly, sustainability is now becoming a truly central and urgent issue as the adverse impacts of human activity on the environment become ever clearer. The mobility systems of the world’s cities therefore need to adapt rapidly to become more environmentally sustainable, more resilient, and adaptable in the face of shocks and discontinuities. They should be centered on the needs of human beings rather than being determined primarily by their technological infrastructure. Becoming more sustainable, resilient, and human-centric should be a central ambition of every urban mobility system today.
