    Digital Mobility Services for Communities: Flexible boarding points for campus ridesharing
    (EnviroInfo 2022, 2022) Gieza, Moritz; Schuster, Thomas; Waidelich, Lukas; Kölmel, Bernhard
    Mobility is still characterized by individual transport. Despite changes in recent years, it still influences infrastructure development and results in car-friendly cities. As a result, traffic congestion reveals weaknesses in efficiency and sustainability of this model. This is exacerbated in metropolitan areas with high growth rates and in areas with below-average public transport services. Besides congestion, emission such as pollution and noise are a major problem. In this article, we give explain how this affects communities in general and transport from and to our university campus particularly. We will examine how digital mobility services can extend public and individual transport. We will explore how digital services can promote intermodal transport and lead to more sustainability in mobility. Within that discussion, we present a ridesharing platform and study its influence on directions to and from our campus.

    Gestaltung von Mitfahrsystemen für ältere Erwachsene

    Motivated by rising global energy demands and a growing awareness of the scarcity of natural resources sustainable mobility concepts are demanded as much as never before. One solution is offered by ridesharing concepts, realized with ICT supported mobile interaction systems. Current systems already address issues of comfort or efficiency and thus refer to mobility widely in functional terms of transport, moving people from one place to another. However, ridesharing is in its basic conception an interactive cooperation between at least two persons negotiating a shared ride. We argue in this paper for the necessary of a praxis-based perspective on ridesharing in order to explore the interactive mechanisms people refer to in ridesharing situations. We will show that a phenomenological inquiry provides added value in understanding practical challenges in ridesharing contexts, and identifying methods used to address practical challenges that can provide new starting points for design.
