DESCRIPTION:Domokos Esztergár-Kiss is a senior lecturer at Budapest Unive
 rsity of Technology and Economics (BME) and international project coordina
 tor of the Faculty of Transportation Engineering and Vehicle Engineering. 
 His main research topics are the optimization of multimodal travel chains 
 for passengers\, the development of Mobility as a Service related solution
 s\, and the establishment of workplace mobility plans for promoting sustai
 nable commuting. He has published 85 papers in leading journals with Impac
 t Factor. He was the main organizer of several international conferences (
 e.g. MT-ITS 2015\, EWGT 2017\, hEART 2019\, and TRA 2026) and is involved 
 in several Horizon 2020 projects\, Interreg projects\, and COST Actions (e
 .g. MoveCit\, LinkingDanube\, MaaS4EU\, Electric travelling\, BE OPEN\, Re
 giaMobil\, OJP4Danube\, metaCCAZE). Moreover\, he was a Fulbright scholar 
 at the University of California\, Davis in 2021\, he was the chair of IEEE
  HS YP\, and he is a council member of AET and ECTRI.\nAn emerging trend t
 owards seamless mobility is the integration of on-demand modes into public
  transport leads to the Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) concept. MaaS is a us
 er-centric\, intelligent mobility distribution model\, in which user needs
  are met via a single platform and are offered by a service provider\, the
  mobility operator. Presently there are no established frameworks and quan
 tifiable evidence about MaaS costs and benefits\, users’ needs\, as well
  as its influence on travel patterns and car ownership of various user gro
 ups. The main goal of MaaS4EU project is to provide quantifiable evidence\
 , frameworks and tools\, to remove the barriers and enable a cooperative a
 nd interconnected EU single transport market for the MaaS concept\, by add
 ressing challenges at 4 levels: business\, end-users\, technology and poli
 cy. This will be achieved by defining sustainable business models that sup
 port the cooperation across transport stakeholders\, understanding user ne
 eds and choices\, implementing the required technological infrastructure (
 MaaS mobility hub) and identifying the enabling policy and regulatory fram
 eworks. The project will provide quantifiable evidence about MaaS costs an
 d benefits in real-life\, complementary pilot cases\, demonstrating the co
 ncept in urban\, intercity and cross-border trips. The focus will be on th
 e pilot realized in Budapest.\n\n
