Mobility as a Service: A Problems and Research Opportunities

A variety of issues are brought on by the development of the growing number of automobiles each year. Transportation effects include pollution and traffic congestion. It is possible to combat the effects of traffic and pollution by utilizing a variety of smart mobility technology. The most recent advancements in smart mobility, including intelligent transportation systems, electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, demand-responsive transportation, shared transportation, and mobility as a service (MaaS), have established a dominant impact on the economic, social, and environmental sectors, as well as on traffic congestion, people with social welfare problems (PMKS), traffic accidents, and air pollution. Researchers attempt to identify and categorize MaaS problems in the literature analysis, then turn those concerns into research questions. Four research questions were derived from the literature review results, namely: 1) What does modern MaaS architectural design entail? 2) Who are the MaaS Offenders Right Now? 3) What is the MaaS Platform's current layout? 4) What does the MaaS business model look like today? The research has opened up several options, including the following: 1) Development of MaaS infrastructure design; 2) Development of MaaS platform; 3) Development of MaaS business model; and 4) Development of algorithms for selecting the appropriate mode of transportation based on route parameters.
