2. | Understanding innovation

3. | Understanding Innovation  ‘Idea, practice or object that is perceived as new by an individual or other unit of adoption’ (Rogers) and that provides a better solution to existing challenges than traditional measures in urban transport and mobility  Higher potential to effectively respond to current challenges than already well-established measures  Pragmatic perspective: mainstream in some countries versus new in other parts of Europe  Comparably new to large parts of Europe 24 December 2015 3

4. |  Most European cities want to be innovative, but not all want to be the first to implement a new measure  Various risks  Financial: will we be able to afford the measure?  Political: will the measure be accepted, will citizens vote in favour of it?  Effectiveness: will the measure solve the problems it is meant to solve?  Implementation: will we be able to introduce the measure smoothly, without delays or extra cost? How can we shorten the innovation cycle? What about Impact Assessment and Transferability? Reduce the risk of starting something new

11. | What drives innovation in PT?

12. | Public transport sector drives innovation ‘Push’ from EU policy side: not strong, nor coordinated  ‘Urban Mobility Package’/ transport white paper  PT not very visible!  ITS directive (travel data)  Clean Power for Transport Package  Clean vehicle directive  Public Service Obligations Regulation (revision) 24 December 2015 12

19. | Personalised travel planning: MyWay European Smart Mobility Resource Manager Multimodal journey planner with integrated ticket purchasing and automatic travel readjustments that encourages cleaner modes of transport.  Improved real journey times  Reduced congestion  Increased multi-modal split  Three test sites:  Berlin (DE), Catalonia (ES) and Trikala (GR)  Policy & research recommendations  Business models  http://myway-project.eu http://myway-project.eu  09/2013– 02/2016 24 December 2015 19

20. | Innovation Challenge: Automation in public transport  European project CityMobil2  Demonstrated at five sites already (Oristano, La Rochelle, Lausanne, Vantaa, Trikala)  High interest of cities and public transport sector  Automation in PT session at Bus World (Kortrijk/B), 19/10/15 24 December 2015 20

21. | Public transport organisation: TIDE  Creation of Public Transport management bodies for metropolitan areas  Contracting of services focused on improvement of passenger satisfaction and efficiency  Marketing research as optimisation tool in public transport 24 December 2015 21

22. | Metropolitan public transport authorities Cooperation platforms between different local authorities to provide quality public transport Efficient management of the PT system through gathering key competences at one point, thus supporting LAs in managing transport systems Better because integrated information More intuitive ticketing: single ticket Better network design: coordinated subsystems Lower management costs 24 December 2015 22

23. | Marketing research as optimisation tool in PT Marketing research can be used for evaluation and improvement purposes and for predicting future changes in transport behaviour Effective way of recognising future and current market needs Valuable support tool for transport modelling and sustainable urban mobility planning Improves the efficiency of public expenditure Better evaluation and monitoring of quality of services Can be low-cost!

25. |  Stakeholder acceptance of reorganization  Increased acceptance for the ”user perspective”  Coherent policies on all levels  Increased use of smartphones TIDE: Drivers for change

26. |  Lack of flexibility in governance structure  Privacy and data security legislation  Different legal and financial contexts on different levels of governance  Political timing  Transparency of business intelligence TIDE: Barriers for change

27. |  Provide standards and guidelines  There is a need for a common, standardised set of indicators for monitoring of contracts.  European guidelines on transparency in terms of users’ satisfaction data and clear and accessible tendering conditions would be very welcomed to local actors.  Spread information  Support local cooperation  Provide funds TIDE recommendations
