Project Partners

Wiener Linien

As Project Coordinator, Wiener Linien (WL) oversees project management and technical tasks, including coordinating pilot action concepts Work Package (WP) 2 and ensuring quality implementation of all pilot actions (WP 5), particularly in Vienna. Additionally, WL manages stakeholder communications, monitors project timelines, and ensures resource availability to facilitate seamless project execution.

ANA - Aeroportos de Portugal

ANA will play a crucial role in implementing the Demand-Responsive Transport (DRT) shuttle service for shift employees at Lisbon Airport. The company's responsibilities include updating the Airport Mobility Study, focusing on night shift workers to obtain precise commuting origins. Additionally, ANA will fine-tune the service by determining vehicle numbers, drivers, routes, stops, and establishing ticketing and invoicing criteria. Finally, ANA will actively participate in deploying the service, utilizing a fleet of electric vehicles selected for capacity, efficiency, and environmental sustainability.

Universität Innsbruck

UIBK, in collab with the Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH and Herry Consult GmbH through the Centre for Mobility Change, leads WP4, focusing on managing low-emission behavior change. Their work includes analyzing mobility behavior, user attitudes, preferences, and requirements for nighttime on-demand shuttles to ensure effective and accepted services. Mobility surveys will inform pilot concepts (WP2), environmental impact baselines (WP3), and service adjustments during the pilot phase (WP5). Choice experiments will identify effective measures, with acceptance tested in workshops and focus groups before implementation.

TML

TML's role in LIFE MOONSET centers on two areas: supporting the Lisbon pilot action, testing an on-demand shuttle service for shift workers using electric vehicles, and leading Learning, Communication, and Dissemination efforts. This includes evaluating outcomes, consolidating insights from all pilots, and integrating feedback from stakeholders and shuttle users to guide replication efforts.

Municipal Transport Ruse

Municipal Transport Ruse (MTR) will implement a nighttime shuttle pilot service, replicating the approaches of Vienna and Lisbon, such as Via’s software and UIBK’s mobility research, without predefined pilot scope. MTR will leverage insights from Wiener Linien, TML, and ANA to design its service as a learning iteration from tests in Austria and Portugal. As WP lead for Sustainability, Replication, and Exploitation, MTR ensures project outcomes remain sustainable and applicable within the consortium and beyond after EU funding ends.

Via

Via has three key roles in the project: leading the environmental impact evaluation (WP 3) by establishing baseline modeling, with support from UIBK and local partners for survey development and distribution; providing software solutions for high-quality on-demand services for the pilot actions in Vienna, Lisbon, and Ruse, including access to relevant data on the service performance and participate in service optimization throughout the project; participate and contributing to initial service design by providing feasible options for software adaptations tailored to each service's specific context.
