    Bike Sharing Systems (another form of MoD) in Europe and in N.

    America

    Proved to be successful in synergizing personal mobility with public transit system

    Zipcar, a two-way car sharing system in the USA

    Claims to reduce the number of private vehicles by 15 for every shared car

    Vehicle miles traveled per driver is reduced by almost 50 percent when car owners

    switch to a car sharing service

    Vehicle Utilization in 24 hours: private car5% ; Zipcar30%

    Environmental benefit: reduced CO2emissions by 482,000 tons in 2009 alone.

    Implication to MoD one-way car sharing system

    Each shared car can potentially replace 20 private vehicles

    Vehicle Utilization in 24 hours can reach 50-60%

    Evolution of Mobility on DemandReferences from Europe and the U.S.

    Mobility-on-Demand: A Shared Car Concept integrating ICT

    infrastructure and Light Electric Vehicles (LEVs)

    System Development by MIT Media Lab in 2003

    Feasibility Study in Berlin, San Francisco, Bilbao, Malmo starting 2011

    LEV Production by Hiriko (Spain)available in Late 2012

    Features of Mobility-on-Demand:

    Access the inaccessible areaseliminate the last m ile, f irst m ile

    dilemma

    Advance ICT (Inform at ion and Communicat ion Technolog y) Systemfacilitates sharing capability of CityCar, thus reducing private car usage/

    ownership, and ultimately reduce CO2 emissions and

    Foldable LEV (CityCar) to save parking space

    What MoD can do to traffic issues?

    Environmental Benefits:

    Emission reduction- utilization of LEVs under a shared-

    use model

    Replace private gasoline powered vehicles - no-tailpipe emissions

    Energy efficiency benefit - EVs (80%+) vs. ICE (25% or less) powered

    vehicles.

    Coupling of the shared-use model - further enhance (perhaps exponentially)

    the emission reduction benefit

    Better Land Utilization

    Vehicle's small footprint (3:1 parking benefit) - reduce parking space/costs

    More land use for other purposes (such as commercial or residential space)

    to reduce travel distances and thus enhance emission reductions

    Sygnerizing PersonalMobility and Public

    Transit System:

    Zero-emission LEV

    connecting to public

    transport facilities. MoD

    can potentially tackles the

    First mile, Last mile

    challenge and improve the

    utilization of public

    transport system

    Culture Shif t: from private ownership to

    shared ownership

    Personal ized Pub l ic Transport Model: ICT

    integration, personalized mobility experience

    City Planning: create designated parking;

    reduce excessive parking

    Environmental Benef its: zero road side

    emission (pollutants), low carbon commutingthrough EV

    Integrat ion to Power Grid: mobile power

    storage across districts/ regions

    Mob i l ity-on-Demand in a glance

    Features:

    Car Sharing System to maximize

    vehicle and space use

    Reduce car ownership while

    improve road condition

    Innovative CityCar design

    optimized road traffic and parking

    space

    Benefits:

    Realization of Zero emission

    transport system for public use

    Reduction of air pollutants and

    noise level on road

    Flexibility to incorporate with

    existing public transport network

    to maximize public transport use

    Role of CCA:

    Capability to conduct feasibilitystudy and implementation

    pathway to suit domestic needs

    Collaborate with international

    expert network on actual

    implementation of the system

    Project Experience:

    Feasibility analysis to adopt thesystem at district level

    Development of city-wide project

    plan on feasibility pathway and

    implementation direction
