Analysis of the Integration of Carsharing Interoperability Among Operators in the City of Munich Faculty of Civil, Geo and Environmental Engineering Chair of Urban Structure and Transport Planning Prof. Dr.-Ing. Gebhard Wulfhorst Analysis of the Integration of Carsharing Interoperability among Operators in the City of Munich Master’s Thesis Francesc Cases Guijarro Supervisors: M.Sc. Montserrat Miramontes (Chair of Urban Structure and Transport Planning, TUM) Diplom-Verkehrswirtschaftlerin Anja Höpping (MRK Management Consultants GmbH) Dr. Francesc Soriguera (Transport and Regional Planning Department, UPC) Submitted: 16.12.2015 WS 2015 This thesis was researched and written by Francesc Cases Guijarro during the summer and autumn of 2015. It was supervised by Montserrat Miramontes Villareal of the Department for Urban Structure and Transport Planning (TUM) and by Anja Höpping of the Transport Department at the MRK Management Consultants GmbH. I wish to thank both supervisors for their great support during this time. I would also like to thank Francesc Soriguera Martí for being my supervisor in Barcelona. Finally, I would like to thank the MRK Management Consultants GmbH for giving me the opportunity of having this wonderful experi- ence in the heart of the city of Munich. II “We are moving from a world where we’re organized around ownership to one organized around access to assets.” (Gansky, 2010) “Within the automotive industry, times are changing. Data is the new horsepower and connectivity is the new chassis.” (Palmer , 2014) III Abstract This study is an initial attempt to analyze the implementation of interoperability in carsharing in the city of Munich. With this purpose in mind, literature research has been done in order to set the con- text of this master’s thesis. Through the evaluation of the Theory of Networks it has been assessed which could be the threats and opportunities of the implementation of interoperability among carsharing op- erators. Furthermore, the most relevant approaches to establish interoperability in Germany have been analyzed. At this point, an interoperable carsharing model is proposed for the city of Munich using the tools of the traveler information services industry. For the development of this model special attention is paid to the overall organization as well as to the processes of the carsharing service. For studying the feasibility of this model and obtaining recommendations on its implementation expert interviews have been assessed. Four experts from the carsharing industry have been interviewed (DriveNow, car2go, CiteeCar and STATTAUTO). As a consequence of these interviews, the interoperable model has been further detailed and relevant aspects of its implementation are commented. Based on the expert inter- views and the literature research, it is concluded that interoperability has an important role to play for the further development of carsharing. This document gives an initial step to carry out its implementa- tion in the city of Munich.

  • Strategic Scenario Planning for the German Carsharing Industry – 2025
    Strategic Scenario Planning for the German Carsharing Industry – 2025 Carolin von Sethe Working Paper Version 1 March 18th, 2016 I Abstract II I Abstract What happens when the Internet of Things1, traditional mobility and the modern consumer coalesce? Nobody knows yet. The increasing uncertainty and complexity that result from the pace of technological progress, blurring boundaries between industry ecosystems and the volatile macroeconomic environment affect future mobility severely. Carsharing is at the forefront of an evolution that points towards a secular shift from individually owned-and-operated automobiles to mobility-on-demand. The purpose of this study is to develop four plausible scenarios for the future of the German carsharing industry in the year 2025 by applying the HHL- Roland Berger scenario development approach and to establish adequate core and optional strategies to aid strategic decision making of managers from companies in the carsharing ecosystem. Key Words: Scenario-based Strategic Planning ∙ Carsharing ∙ Shared Mobility ∙ Strategic Decision Making 1 The Internet of Things (short: IoT) is a term coined for the network of and communication between all devices with enabled Internet connection (Morgan, 2014).

  • Car-Sharing Is Also Possible in Smaller Cities
    Car-Sharing in Small Cities Car-Sharing fact sheet No. 9 Car-Sharing is also possible in smaller cities Organised Car-Sharing is generally accepted as a mobility option for large cities. This fact sheet will demonstrate through several European examples that it is also possible to organise Car-Sharing in smaller cities and communities and to provide an acceptable level of service. In Switzerland, 410 localities are served by the Car-Sharing provider Mobility. Only the cities of Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Bern and Lausanne have more than 100,000 inhabitants. Four oth- ers (Winterthur, St. Gallen, Lucerne and Lugano) have between 50,000 and 100,000 inhabit- ants, and a further 4 have between 0,000 and 50,000. Thus the majority of Swiss locali- ties in which an outstanding level of Car-Sharing service is provided have fewer than 0,000 inhabitants. In Germany, 166 cities and communities served by Car-Sharing providers have fewer than 50,000 inhabitants and 78 communities have fewer than 0,000 (as of the middle of 008).

This chapter reviews key terms and definitions for carsharing, common carsharing business models, and existing impact studies. Next, the chapter discusses the commodification and aggregation of mobility services and the role of Mobility on Demand (MOD) and Mobility as a Service (MaaS) on carsharing. Finally, the chapter concludes with a discussion of how the convergence of electrification and automation is changing carsharing, leading to shared automated and electric vehicle (SAEV) fleets. Keywords: Carsharing, Shared mobility, Mobility on Demand (MOD), Mobility as a Service (MaaS), Shared automated electric vehicles (SAEVs) 1 INTRODUCTION Across the globe, innovative and emerging mobility services are offering residents, businesses, travelers, and other users more options for on-demand mobility. In recent years, carsharing has grown rapidly due to changing perspectives toward transportation, car ownership, business and institutional fleet ownership, and urban lifestyles.

  • The Collaborative Economy: Products, Services, and Market Relationships Have Changed As Sharing Startups Impact Business Models
    A Market Definition Report The Collaborative Economy: Products, services, and market relationships have changed as sharing startups impact business models. To avoid disruption, companies must adopt the Collaborative Economy Value Chain. Altimeter Research Theme: Digital Economies June 4, 2013 By Jeremiah Owyang With Christine Tran and Chris Silva Includes input from 69 ecosystem contributors Executive Summary The Next Phase of Social Business Is the Collaborative Economy. Social technologies radically disrupted communications, marketing, and customer care. With these same technologies, customers now buy products once and share them with each other. Beyond business functions, the Collaborative Economy impacts core business models. Customers Are Sharing Goods and Services — Redefining the Buyer-Seller Relationship. Every car-sharing vehicle reduces car ownership by 9-13 vehicles; a revenue loss of at least $270,000 to an average auto manufacturer.1 The cascading impact to the ecosystem has far-reaching impacts to auto loans, car insurance, fuel, auto parts, and other services.2 For corporations, the direct impact is revenue loss that results from customers sharing products and services with each other. Innovative Companies Are Already Moving Into Collaborative Economy. Some companies have joined this movement. For instance, Toyota rents cars from dealership lots, and Patagonia partnered with eBay to encourage customers to buy and sell its used products. NBC has partnered with Yerdle, a startup founded by former Walmart executives to foster peer-to-peer sharing. This movement impacts every industry. Adopt the Collaborative Economy Value Chain. Companies risk becoming disintermediated by customers who connect with each other. The Collaborative Economy Value Chain illustrates how companies can rethink their business models by becoming a Company-as-a-Service, Motivating a Marketplace, or Providing a Platform.

La presente hoja informativa muestra, a través de algunos ejemplos europeos, que no es imposible organizar un servicio de Car-Sharing en ciudades y municipios de menor tamaño para poner a disposición de los clientes una oferta aceptable. En Suiza, el operador Mobility ofrece el servicio en 410 poblaciones. Pero sólo Zurich, Ginebra, Basilea, Berna y Lausana tienen más de 100.000 habitantes, cuatro ciudades más, Winterthur, San Galo, Lucerna y Lugano, tienen entre 50.000 y 100.000 habitantes y 4 poblaciones más entre 0.000 y 50.000.
