A position paper clarifying the role of software and data in coordinating, driving the uptake of and scaling low-carbon mobility.
A framework for analysing deployment conditions, covering interoperability, trust, data governance, inclusion, business models and value for stakeholders.
A use case, the Green Mobility Coach, informed by an initial proof of software feasibility with EFREI, exploring how measuring usage, communicating benefits and providing support can facilitate behaviour change.
The barriers to overcome are not solely technological. They stem first from fragmented offerings, scattered data and limited interoperability, but also from deeper obstacles: ingrained habits, limited awareness of alternatives, the perception that low-carbon mobility is more complex or less reliable, difficulty making the individual benefits of change visible, a lack of trust in how data is used and the absence of a common framework for stakeholders.
For many users, the private car remains the most obvious solution—not because it is always the most relevant, but because it is perceived as the simplest, clearest and most reassuring option.
The working group's challenge is therefore to understand how software and data can help connect services, stakeholders, incentives and usage patterns, turning fragmented alternatives into mobility experiences that are easier to understand, more credible and easier to adopt.
Accelerate the uptake of more resource-efficient mobility by using software and data to make alternatives to solo car travel more visible, simpler and more attractive: shared journeys, intermodal routes, active mobility and low-carbon services.
Initial exploratory work with EFREI on a Green Mobility Coach use case, testing the feasibility of a first software core for everyday mobility: journey tracking, mode classification, carbon impact calculations, user feedback and initial engagement mechanisms.
Development of a position paper to clarify the role software and data can play in coordinating offerings, making low-carbon alternatives easier to understand and supporting changes in travel behaviour.
A next step still to be defined, focusing not on technical feasibility but on the real conditions for adoption: trust, data use, integration into existing systems, and value for employers, local authorities, insurers, operators and travellers.
