About IMUMCN in brief

Modern cities face severe traffic congestion and emissions, compounded by technological advancements and changing work habits. This project aims to understand and address these challenges by studying the impacts on citizens’ location choices and travel patterns. Using real-life experiments and advanced urban transport modelling, it explores integrated Mobility as a Service (MaaS) solutions and market-based personal carbon trading to develop efficient, equitable, and zero-emission urban traffic systems. The goal is to achieve accessible, climate-neutral, and sustainable cities in China and the EU by integrating multiple transport modes.

About IMUMCN in Poland

Adam Mickiewicz University (AMU)

The Polish staff from AMU leads in the fields of transport sociology, travel behavioural analysis and carbon market. They are responsible for WP5 in developing a MaaS-based personal carbon trading system.

1. How to adapt to societal changes?
   • Understand residents’ work time and location choices, as well as related travel behaviour considering changing work habits in the Chinese and European context.
2. How to make use of new urban transport technologies?
   • Investigate the efficiency and equity of new transport services and their roles in residents’ work time and location choices.
3. How do traffic emissions change?
   • Develop a near real-time emissions accounting framework for resident transport, and estimate traffic emissions related to changing work habits and new transport services.
4. How to provide personal Mobility as a Service (MaaS) solutions?
   • Develop and test a Mobility as a Service (MaaS)-based personal carbon trading system for urban mobility to reduce traffic congestion and emissions.
5. How to achieve an efficient and sustainable multi-mode urban traffic system?
   • Design an efficient and climate-neutral multi-mode urban traffic system considering new transport services and work habits.
