Preliminary Concept of Operations for Total Traffic Management

The EU project X-TEAM D2D focuses on future seamless door-to-door mobility, considering the experiences from Air Traffic Management and the currently available and possible future transport modalities in overall multimodal traffic until 2050. This paper deals with developing a Concept of Operations of an intermodal transport system with special consideration of the passengers' satisfaction with up to 4-hour journeys. For this purpose, the influences of quality management systems and other organizational facilities on the quality of passenger travel in the transport system were examined. In the study, integration of various management systems, like resources, traffic information, energy, fleet, emergency, security and infrastructure, and applications such as weather information platforms and tracking systems, is expected

Passenger Dimensions in Sustainable Multimodal Mobility Services

Seamless integration of air segment in the overall multimodal mobility chain is a key challenge to provide more efficient and sustainable transport services. Technology advances offer a unique opportunity to build a new generation of transport services able to match the evolving expectations and needs of society as a whole. In this context, the passenger-centric approach represents a method to inform the design of future mobility services, supporting quality of life, security and services to citizens traveling across Europe. Relying on the concepts of inclusive design, context of use and task analysis, in this article, we present a comprehensive methodological framework for the analysis of passenger characteristics to elicit features and requirements for future multimodal mobility services, including air leg, that are relevant from the perspective of passengers. The proposed methodology was applied to a series of specific use cases envisaged for three time horizons, 2025, 2035 and 2050, in the context of a European research project. Then, passenger-focused key performance indicators and related metrics were derived to be included in a validation step, with the aim of assessing the extent of benefit for passengers that can be achieved in the forecasted scenarios. The results of the study demonstrate the relevance of human variability in the design of public services, as well as the feasibility of personalized performance assessment of mobility services

Extended ATM for Seamless Travel (X-TEAM D2D)

In the future (up to 2050), physical infrastructure, transport systems, traffic management, operational processes and information systems will be seamlessly integrated. The combination of new emerging transport modes such as extended urban and regional air transport forms (SAT, PATS, UAM), electric and autonomous mobility (road, rail, water) with a passenger-centric view will revolutionize future mobility. A key enabler for this is integrating ATM into overall multimodal transport systems that will provide airports, authorities, transport companies and passengers with common and comprehensive information of the door-to-door (D2D) travel flows. The X-TEAM D2D project explores and analyzes the integration of ATM into the overall multimodal transport system, considering currently available transportation modalities and the emerging transport and mobility forms envisaged for the next decades. Moreover, the X-TEAM D2D focuses on the detailed consideration of Concept of Operations (ConOps) for seamless D2D mobility in urban and extended urban areas (up to regional), understanding the risks and opportunities impacting strategic policy directions. Three time horizons are considered: baseline (2025), intermediate (2035) and final (2050). The developed ConOps will be validated and evaluated against applicable Key Performance Areas (KPA) and Key Performance Indicators (KPI), using a simulation-based platform that considers the most relevant transport elements in the future, such as interfaces mode-mode, high-level network model, passenger-centric paradigm. Furthermore, specific use cases of the D2D journey under different scenarios will be identified. These use cases will be analyzed in depth to validate the ConOps and enable decision support tools
