Challenge / Goal
The future of mobility in municipalities is changing. The mobility needs of citizens and companies are constantly increasing, causing growing environmental, noise and traffic pollution. In order to maintain mobility in cities and to redesign it in line with the times, it is necessary to use the currents of mobility change sensibly and to link them with each other. This challenge is addressed by the Eco Fleet Services project, which aims to find sustainable solutions for the economic use of electromobility and other mobility services in companies.
Solution
The Eco Fleet Services platform is designed to enable smart and efficient management of operational mobility. It will not only support the efficient use of fleet vehicles, but also integrate external mobility resources such as car sharing or public transport. This will enable users to conveniently select the most sustainable means of travel for their planned travel purpose in the future. The Eco Fleet Services platform thus sets the course for multimodal corporate mobility.
The main objective of the project is to develop a mobility platform that integrates external mobility services such as car sharing and local public transport, in addition to functions for scheduling and energy optimization that enable the economical use of electric vehicles. The mobility platform is being tested in the vehicle fleet of the city of Heidelberg. In addition to the IT solution, which is being designed and implemented by Esslingen University of Applied Sciences together with the KEIM application center, a maturity model is to be developed in cooperation with the University of Hohenheim, which will enable companies to evaluate their mobility management, identify potential for improvement and plan measures.
