A consortium led by FOURC was one of the few winning project applications in the latest Pilot-T mobility R&D call from the Research Council of Norway. The MaaSeKOPP project will provide innovative MaaS solutions and huge-scale MaaS demonstrations in Vestland county and in Trondheim city.
The €1.4 million project will provide not only a real, live implementation of MaaS in the two areas, but also deliver an all-new MaaS business model simulation tool, provided with the help of SINTEF as one of the partners in the project. The tool will facilitate the implementation of a sustainable business model in which both private and public mobility providers can offer their services using a common solution. In such a setup, it is essential to achieve a necessary level of trust between partners who sometimes could be competing for the traveller.
SKYSS, the public transport authority in Vestland county, is a project partner. Vestland includes Bergen city, the second largest city in Norway. By having SKYSS as a key partner, a unique testing ground for the MaaS rollout exists, using their customer base of several hundred thousand travellers.
UNIBUSS EKSPRESS, part of the Unibuss group, and Trøndertaxi will be the second demonstration case in the city and neighbourhood of Trondheim, in which UNIBUSS EKSPRESS today provides the airport express bus services under the brand name Vaernes-Ekspressen, and where Trøndertaxi is one of the major taxi companies.
The project will benefit from ITS NORWAY’s extremely valuable competence and services relating to previous experience, data-sharing insight, standardisation work, know-how, and wide international network.
