IP4MaaS is the latest open call project directly linked with the 4th Innovation Programme (IP4) of Shift2Rail. It brings together 26 partners across Europe and commenced in December 2020. IP4MaaS is set to last 30 months.
IP4MaaS will assist IP4 projects to demonstrate the technologies at an unprecedented level – in 6 different locations in Europe – by including more than 10 transport operators (Public Transport and Mobility-as-a-Service), authorities and agencies. IP4MaaS will develop the scenarios for the demonstrations and a thorough assessment strategy that illustrates both their performance and impact on users and the environment in urban and suburban setups. IP4MaaS will also create strategic plans for the demonstrations that will be updated in two iterations leading to two demonstration phases.
Furthermore, the project will provide recommendations regarding the promotion and transferability of the technologies to other locations in Europe. IP4MaaS will organise and monitor one of the largest demonstrations of technologies in European project history and expects its findings to be used as a baseline for future demonstrations and testing that involves a diverse group of demo partners.
