New form of Mobility Ride Pooling in Mannheim
New form of Mobility Ride Pooling in Mannheim
The bus arrives as needed and at the push of a button: With carpooling, Mannheim can use public transport even more individually from March. A shuttle for flexible routes can be booked via the app.
No more go to the next tram - from March 1, Mannheimer can easily drive to the next tram stop with a minibus. You also do not have to take the city center by bus or tram if you want to drive to a neighboring quarter by public transport. Instead, drive the "shuttle" into the neighboring district. Not the vehicle type is new, but the shape of the offer for the customer, the so -called ride pooling. Minister of Transport The axes of public transport can play a crucial role in the reversal of traffic.
With this carpool, several passengers use a single vehicle on a flexible route. You register your desired trip via an app, the travel inquiries are bundled with the help of suitable software and the software provides the driver of the vehicle about where it should go next. The 15 shuttles primarily take over the function of a feeder to existing stops of the tram and public transport in defined operating areas. Further shuttles are to be used for tangential traffic between individual urban outskirts, which has so far only been reached via detours by public transport. In this preliminary stage, the shuttles drive with a driver, ie not autonomously. If you drive autonomously, you may be able to be operated even more economically. Ridepooling projects therefore serve, among other things, to gain experience with the necessary information technology (IT) and to gain acceptance among the population in order to be able to make appropriate autonomous offers later. The project of the Rhein-Neckar-Verkehrsgesellschaft (RNV) comes from Federal Ministry of Transport and within the Strategy Dialogue Automotive Industry also from State Transport Ministry Baden-Württemberg funded. With an operating time from early 2021 to the end of 2023, the project costs amount to around 16.4 million euros. The Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure finances the project with around 3.9 million euros, the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Transport with 2.8 million euros and the remaining amount is financed by passengers and RNV itself. Mannheim's first mayor and local transport manager Christian Specht said: "With the on-demand shuttle we can pick up passengers virtually at the front door and bring to the next stop or to the most important transfer points. Booking and payment can be made quickly and conveniently. We offer a modern, flexible addition to traditional public transport. We close the so-called" last mile "and show that individual requirements and public transport fit together very well. "" The Rhein-Neckar-Verkehrsgesellschaft will initially drive in some parts of the city in the south and east of Mannheim with its new "flexible individual passenger shuttle" (FIPS). From April 2021, large parts of the north of Mannheim will also be served. Due to the current restrictions by the corona memistry, the space in the vehicles is initially reduced. Beek , Technical Director of RNV, said: "We will master the turnaround by always staying on the ball and combining innovations intelligently. This is exactly what we do with our new offer. Modern drive technologies, an" intelligent "app and a clever operating concept create great added value for passengers. In this way, we humans gain environmentally friendly public transport and ensure fewer cars on the streets. "" The new transport offer is completely in the network tariff of the Transportverband Rhein-Neckar integrated with a certain quality surcharge per trip. RNV will initially use 15 fully electric Mercedes Vito transporters and has the option on 15 other vehicles. Three of the vehicles are currently being rebuilt so that they can also be used by wheelchair users. The handicapped -friendly shuttles then also open up new opportunities for locomotion and mobility for people who have so far not been able to use public transport. In its strategy for autonomous and networked mobility adopted in July 2020, the state has also set itself the goal of attractive and economic passenger transport in autonomous mobile communion with flexible stops for all-day services in the city and to enable in rural areas from 2030. become. The new form of mobility ridepooling also creates new sales opportunities for the automotive industry. This is entirely in the spirit of the Strategy Licon Automotive Industry Baden-Württemberg , which accompanies the change in the automotive and mobility industry towards a new and more climate-friendly mobility. With a variety of projects, the strategy dialogue supports change to the necessary vehicles, infrastructures and services. Further projects in the Ministry of Transport monitored Subject area "Transport solutions" are, for example: Press release from May 23, 2019: Collective trips-a new, flexible local transport offer Feder function and tangential traffic
