A Flexible Mobility System Based on CHIP Architectures: The NETCHIP Research Project

This paper describes the main features and the objectives of a research project that is in an initial phase. The project, namely NETCHIP, aims to propose a flexible mobility system based on small and low-emission vehicles (from 4 to 10/12 seats), as a step towards the Mobility as a Service (MaaS) paradigm. The paper summarises the main characteristics of the proposed service from the user viewpoint, the technologic aspects to consider for its implementation, the main challenges to afford and the possible solutions.
