How shared mobility is driving change in enterprise transportation

The vision for livable cities demands a clean, convenient, and congestion-free transportation system.

Shared mobilityis a transportation strategy that is continually evolving and re-shaping the next generation of mobility. It is green, improves accessibility, and is the solution to urban congestion.

Shared Employee Transportation

With a single-vehicle replacing up to 3 or more vehicles on the road, shared employee rides ease traffic gridlocks, limit carbon emissions and employee stress.

Sustainable shared mobility is the future of transport. But, it is also a present-day solution for the workforce, who constitute nearly 40% of the total Indian population, daunted by the daily commute experience.

Besides its social and environmental benefits, shared mobility has the potential for a transformative impact on the corporate transportation process. At an enterprise level, shared mobility relies on IoT technology to keep employees and transport teams connected.

IoT device connectivity is in turn, driving transport automation. SaaS-based ERP solutions when optimized effectively, offer twin benefits enhances mobility experience and improves business performance.

To address this, Automotive Industry Standard (AIS 140) mandates a vehicle tracking device and an emergency button in all existing and new public service vehicles in India.”

Real-time latency-free data from connected devices is fundamental to improving safety and commuter experience.

Live tracking, sensors that alert hazards, co-commuter details, and personalized travel information need a technology ecosystem for developing an ethos where employees feel at ease during transit.

A Shared Future are you ready?

Shared mobility is playing a transformative role in urban design, planning, and policy-making efforts.

Advancements in smart transport infrastructure indicate a convergence of public transit and corporate transportation into multimodal shared mobility. This comprehensive framework connecting vehicles, transit, and infrastructure, will assure an accessible, sustainable, and safe transport future of all of us.

However, this demands a mass transition to shared mobility.
