Digital mobility platforms

Adaptation of passenger transport law in the course of digitization

Project

The field of road traffic is being significantly changed by advancing digitization. Digital mobility platforms can offer a great opportunity to shape mobility services according to need, cost-effectiveness and, if necessary, organized by the citizens themselves. However, they can also lead to a complete change in traditional mobility services. Local public transport as well as taxi or rental car services could be displaced by new digital-based business models.

The aim of the project is to present the existing legal framework for passenger transport, to critically question it, taking into account socio-economic aspects and the potential of digitization, and to develop recommendations for action on how the legal framework can be adapted.
