Mobility as a Service Systems in Smart Cities

Dear Colleagues,

Currently, in the era of constant digitization, modern transport is required to be more accessible to the public. Moreover, mobility is to be implemented as quickly as possible and travel is to be carried out in a sustainable manner. One of the solutions that reconcile these demands in smart cities is the implementation of the Mobility as a Service (MaaS) concept. Efficiently functioning MaaS systems can contribute to a significant improvement in the functioning of transport in smart cities and translate into an improvement in the quality of life for the inhabitants.

Due to the growing global interest in MaaS systems, there is a real need to conduct scientific research both from the point of view of the implementation of MaaS systems as well as considering all services related to MaaS systems, including shared mobility services, autonomous vehicles, or transport on demand.

This Special Issue is dedicated to promoting the investigation of the latest research in Mobility as a Service systems in the context of smart cities and their plans, models, and successful applications to explore the latest innovations in guidelines, theories, ideas and applications and tools facilitating technology transfer. Since the subject of MaaS is very complex, any interdisciplinary research from technical and operational, optimization, economic, financial, legal, or theoretical aspects will be welcome.
