Detailed description (English): To transform peri-urban and rural areas, Padam Mobility offers digital on-demand public transport solutions (DRT, Paratransit) that bring communities together.
• What? A smart and flexible transport solution for the general public (DRT) or specifically for people with reduced mobility (Paratransit) that adapts the supply of transport to the demand.
• How? Vehicles, booked in real time or in advance via a booking interface, replace underused or inexistent fixed bus routes. Our software uses powerful algorithms and IA to propose greener and more efficient itineraries, connected to the other means of public transportation in the territory.
• Why? To better connect and open up territories. To optimise the mobility offer and facilitate its management. To act in favour of more sustainable mobility.
Initially tested in 13 rural and peri-urban municipalities in the western and south-western perimeter of the Eurometropolis, the service has been extended to 25 municipalities since 1st of March 2021. Equipped with a fleet of 100% electric vehicles, the Flex’Hop Demand Responsive Transport service reinforces the Strasbourg’s urban transport offer and the interurban bus services by offering a travel solution aimed at better serving peri-urban communities, facilitating travel on the outskirts and between communities not connected to the bus and tramway networks, and facilitating connection to the structural networks. Flex’Hop also makes it possible to optimise resources and rides and to provide accessible and reassuring booking tools for users.
Detailed description (original language): Padam Mobility développe des solutions digitales de transport public à la demande dynamiques (TàD et TPMR) pour transformer les territoires, et rapprocher les communautés.
• Quoi ? Une solution flexible de transport grand public (TàD) ou spécifique aux Personnes à Mobilité Réduite (TPMR) qui adapte l'offre à la demande.
• Comment ? Des véhicules, réservés en temps réel ou à l’avance via une interface de réservation, se substituent à des lignes fixes de bus sous-utilisées ou inexistantes. Notre logiciel repose sur des algorithmes puissants et l'intelligence artificielle qui permettent des itinéraires plus verts et plus efficaces, connectés aux autres transports publics.
• Pourquoi ? Mieux connecter et désenclaver les territoires. Optimiser l’offre de mobilité et faciliter son exploitation. Agir en faveur d'une mobilité plus durable.
Testé d’abord dans 13 communes rurales et périurbaines du périmètre Ouest et Sud-Ouest de l’eurométropole, le service s’étend depuis le 1er mars 2021 à 25 communes. Doté d’une flotte de véhicules 100% électrique, le service Flex’Hop vient renforcer l’offre de transport urbain de la CTS et de bus interurbain bas-rhinois CTBR67 en proposant une solution de déplacement visant à mieux desservir les communes périurbaines, faciliter les déplacements en périphérie et entre communes non connectées aux réseaux de bus et de tramway ou encore faciliter la connexion aux réseaux structurants. Flex’Hop permet en outre d’optimiser les moyens et les trajets et de proposer des outils de réservation accessibles et rassurants pour les usagers.
Target group(s): The public transport authority of Strasbourg use our software solution for the management of their DRT service. With this service, inhabitants of the Strasbourg metropolis, in particular in suburban and rural areas have access to a public transportation adapted to their needs, and access to other means of transportation existing on the territory.
Objectives: Offer a flexible, fast and environmentally friendly service that will meet the mobility needs of the inhabitants and employees of the less densely populated areas of the conurbation and will thus make it possible to link the suburbs to the suburbs, which is currently difficult with the network of classic bus lines. - Robert Hermann, President of the Strasbourg Eurometropolis
