Sustainable mobility provision in rural areas through inter-municipal cooperation and data-based planning
INKOMOB addresses the challenges of regional mobility provision. In rural regions, diverse settlement structures, insufficient data and organisational fragmentation make it difficult to develop suitable mobility services. In several pilot regions within Carinthia, the project analyses how sustainable mobility patterns can be promoted and mobility barriers removed - through new inter-municipal forms of provision, targeted accompanying measures and strong involvement of local stakeholders. The aim is to develop transferable solutions that contribute to the decarbonisation of transport and improve the mobility of disadvantaged groups.
Project goals
- Developing and trialling inter-municipal mobility solutions
- Promotion of sustainable and inclusive mobility patterns
- Derivation of practical guidelines for municipalities
- Improvement of planning processes through user-centred approaches
- Creating transferable models for financing and operating new mobility services
The AIT Austrian Institute of Technology is taking on the central role of coordinator in the INKOMOB project. It is responsible for the research design, the methodological implementation of the surveys and the model-based development of scenario studies. These form the scientific basis for the creation of a practical guide.
The aim of the project is to develop a transferable guideline for cities and municipalities. This contains specific recommendations for the successful design of inter-municipal mobility services - practice-orientated, scientifically sound and directly implementable.
Funded by the "Mobility System 2023" programme of the FFG - Austrian Research Promotion Agency as part of the "Regional Mobility Labs & Digitalisation for Mobility and Logistics Services" call for proposals. https://projekte.ffg.at/projekt/5124702
