Objectives of research

Main objectives:

The overall objective of MOTIF is to derive the means to design better market oriented urban transport systems as part of a set of pull measures aimed at balancing modal split more in favour to collective transport systems. More detailed objectives of MOTIF are: (I) to identify urban mobility demand requirements and urban transport systems characteristics; (ii) to select market success factors and derive from a first analysis the most promising Product-Market Combinations (PMC), ie when transport supply meets mobility demand the most successfully; (iii) to gather and select a number of case studies around Europe and elsewhere where such PMCs exist, and analyse available data in all possible detail to bring forward correlations between certain demand requirements and outstanding transport systems characteristics (iv) to analyse these correlations and define corresponding Market Oriented Urban Transport Systems (MOUTS) (v) to produce guidelines to authorities, transport operators and the transport supply industry for improving the market orientation of resp. the overall urban transport system, individual transport systems, and transport components. The guidelines will be supported by a decision support system based on a 3-layer model (authorities, operators, and supply industry)
