    The Hitchhiker‘s Guide to Urban Spaces
    (INFORMATIK 2023 - Designing Futures: Zukünfte gestalten, 2023) Heinbach, Christoph; Gösling, Henning; Thomas, Oliver
    Urban transportation is increasingly challenged by growing populations and the rapid growth of e-commerce, thus, driving data-driven innovations for sustainable mobility services. Shared mobility consequently emerges as a promising city transport concept, while combined service opportunities between public transport, crowd mobility, and last mile logistics are scarcely investigated. In this paper, we explore the co-creation of urban mobility services within federated ecosystems focusing on a transshipment hub, and propose a novel approach called “co-bility.” Following a design science research (DSR) approach, we conceptualize a co-bility hub based on literature and expert interviews with practitioners from the mobility sector. The exchange of data and services in urban spaces is based on the technical framework Gaia-X. Our study findings show that a Gaia-X-enabled co-bility hub can be achieved by (a) a federated ecosystem orchestrating mobility services and resources, (b) municipalities ensuring coherent platform governance, and (c) eclectic incentives to make co-bility successful.

    “What’s the Robo-Driver up to?” Requirements for Screen-based Awareness and Intent Communication in Autonomous Buses
    (i-com: Vol. 18, No. 2, 2019) Fröhlich, Peter; Schatz, Raimund; Buchta, Markus; Schrammel, Johann; Suette, Stefan; Tscheligi, Manfred
    Autonomous buses are expected to become a cornerstone of future mobility systems. Especially during their introduction, passengers may require reassurance about the vehicle’s awareness of the situation on the road and of its intended next actions to further acceptance. In order to investigate the need and requirements for information about the vehicle’s awareness and intent from the perspective of first-time users, we conducted two user studies in a state-of-the-art autonomous bus at public demonstration spaces. In the first study, participants underwent a demonstration ride with the bus and were then asked about their needs for awareness and intent communication. The second study took participants on a ‘simulated ride’ within a stationary bus, in which typical scenarios of the road ahead were presented, together with different awareness and intent cues. Our results suggest that, first, future autonomous bus passengers may be in need of such awareness and intent communication screens. Second, we found that awareness and intent communication may be of greater importance for the indication of potential hazard recognition than for indicating route directions. Third, due to their complementary strengths, none of the three compared types of visual communication (text, icon and augmented reality) should be used in isolation.
