Detailed description (English): TravelSpirit Foundation sees mobility that supports an active and healthy lifestyle as a human right and freedom, and does not want to see cities of the future being run solely for the benefit of commercial interests.
We believe it is important to defend transport from monopolistic processes which threaten to take the whole of the mobility market within the private confines of organisations that do not have a public remit or control.
Therefore we are actively recruiting partners and funders to develop and deploy the Internet of Mobility for global, accessible Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and Connected & Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) solutions.
Target group(s): All of humanity
Objectives: Universal Mobility as a Service: We believe that an integrated, connected, multi-modal MaaS system provides the path to sustainable and equitable transportation for all.
Open Innovation: We believe in an open innovation model, that rewards sharing of information that serves others, even our competitors, and brings benefits to all.
Global Community: We believe that by connecting people - such as coders, business professionals and policy-makers - through a global network, we are better equipped to tackle the toughest of mobility and transport challenges.
Local Benefit: We believe that our work must be grounded in its ability to demonstrate positive change by and for local communities and regions.
Expected Outcomes: Economic and Social Inclusiveness
Higher levels of sharing transportation resources
Reduced carbon impacts from transportation
