Collection of best-practices on Automatic Transportation On Demand

The collection entails an overview with lessons-learned from previous projects such as AVENUE and MultiDEPART as well as a list of other relevant Automatic Transportation On Demand (AMOD) projects in the EU. It will specifically also focus on identifying suitable integrated deployment paths (IDPs) and transferability criteria packages (TCPs) and consolidating additional useful knowledge from those.

The document addresses the lack of consolidated knowledge on Automated Mobility on Demand (AMOD) in Europe. Despite numerous pilots, experiences are fragmented, making it difficult for cities, operators, and policymakers to identify success factors, avoid common pitfalls, and plan transferable solutions. The report bridges this gap by compiling best practices, lessons learned, and key enablers from EU-funded projects, focusing on integrated deployment paths (IDPs) and transferability criteria packages (TCPs).
The collection has strong transferability potential as it presents adaptable strategies and frameworks for different urban contexts. It helps cities assess readiness, define IDPs, and apply TCPs aligned with their local governance, demand, and infrastructure conditions. To implement it, stakeholders need structured guidance, stakeholder collaboration, supportive regulatory frameworks, and integration with existing mobility ecosystems. Adoption requires commitment from municipalities and operators to tailor practices while maintaining consistency with EU-wide standards and lessons learned.
The document goes beyond individual project results by synthesizing insights from AVENUE, MultiDEPART, and other AMOD pilots into a structured knowledge base. It highlights cross-cutting lessons and contextual factors crucial for scaling AMOD solutions. This comparative perspective provides stakeholders with validated success conditions, technical and regulatory enablers, and barriers. It offers a comprehensive and practical reference that complements technical reports, ensuring accumulated knowledge is more accessible and actionable for future deployments.
