Resumo: | Mobility as a Service (MaaS) has been considered a promising solution for more sustainable travel behaviour. This study aims to propose an approach to designing MaaS bundles and evaluate it by examining the potential of a regional-driven MaaS subscription plan. In this work, specific analyses arising from stated preference surveys launched on two different cities in the Centro Region of Portugal, namely Aveiro and Coimbra, were conducted to characterise user intentions in adopting the proposed MaaS bundles and to evaluate the associated impacts in terms of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions. The results point to a preference for bundles that offer unlimited travel on public transport and, due to the efficiency of the public transport network in the Coimbra region, in this region, 72% of respondents showed a willingness to use the bundles, while in the Aveiro region the intentions to use were 62%. Results show an uptake of 62% in the Aveiro region and 72% in the Coimbra region. An analysis of the impacts of the bundles on gas emissions indicates a reduction of up to 90% in CO₂ and 68% in NOx emissions in the optimistic scenario while considering a more realistic yet limited scenario, there were found emission savings, on average, of 50% for CO₂ and 45% for NOx emissions. The study demonstrates that simple changes in travel habits, such as a shift from private cars to public transport or smooth mobility, due to the availability of MaaS bundles strongly affect the negative travel impacts. |

O presente estudo visa propor uma metodologia para a elaboração de pacotes de subscrição MaaS e avaliá-la de modo a analisar o potencial dos planos de subscrição MaaS dirigidos para diferentes regiões de estudo. Neste trabalho, foram realizadas análises a partir de inquéritos de preferências declaradas realizados na Região Centro de Portugal, nomeadamente Aveiro e Coimbra, para caracterizar as intenções dos utilizadores na adoção dos pacotes MaaS propostos e para avaliar os impactos associados em termos de emissões de dióxido de carbono (CO₂) e óxidos de azoto (NOx). Os resultados apontam uma preferência para pacotes que oferecem viagens ilimitadas em transportes públicos e, devido à eficiência da rede de transportes públicos na região de Coimbra, nesta região foi verificada uma intenção de uso em 72% dos inquiridos, enquanto que na região de Aveiro as intenções foram de 62%. A análise dos impactos dos pacotes nas emissões de gases indica uma redução de até 90% nas emissões de CO₂ e 68% nas emissões de NOx num cenário otimista, enquanto que, considerando um cenário mais realista, mas limitado, foram indicadas reduções nas emissões, em média, de 50% nas emissões de CO₂ e 45% nas emissões de NOx. O presente estudo demonstra que simples mudanças nos hábitos de viagem, como alterar o uso do carro para transportes públicos ou mobilidade suave devido à disponibilidade de pacotes minimizam consideravelmente os impactos negativos das viagens.2027-12-20T00:00:00Z2022-12-06T00:00:00Z2022-12-06info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10773/36431engSuárez, Sofia Oliveirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-02-22T12:10:14Zoai:ria.ua.pt:10773/36431Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:07:14.592404Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
