MOBI – A tool enabling Public authorities to assess the impact of Autonomous Mobility on Demand
The ArtMED project is proud to present .MOBI, a cutting-edge, web-based tool designed to support the planning and economic assessment of on-demand public transport (ODPT) services.
MOBI offers a user-friendly and modular platform that enables transport planners, public authorities, and mobility operators to make informed, data-driven decisions for more efficient, flexible, and sustainable mobility solutions.

Issues addressed
The problem addressed is that Public Transport Authorities (PTAs) in Euro-MED lack accessible tools to assess the socio-economic and environmental impacts of Autonomous Mobility on Demand (AMOD), making it difficult to plan deployment. Sparsely populated areas face high operating costs, low ridership, car dependency, and CO2 emissions, while existing methodologies from AVENUE and MultiDEPART are not easily transferable. ArtMED tackles this by optimising these methods into a user-friendly tool, enabling PTAs to evaluate AMODu2019s potential, build political support, plan investments, and design transport models for more inclusive, accessible, and sustainable mobility.
Added value of the result
The added value of the new tool lies in expanding beyond purely economic analysis by integrating environmental and socio-economic dimensions of AMOD deployment. Unlike the current EASI-AV tool, which only addresses cost-benefit aspects for operators, the upgraded version includes indicators such as CO2 emissions, service quality (e.g., waiting and travel time), and labour market impacts. This holistic approach, co-developed by ECL and CARNET, ensures the tool reflects diverse Euro-MED contexts by incorporating regional input characteristics like population density and terrain, thus providing PTAs with a more comprehensive decision-support framework. It includes a relevant user guide.
Transferability potential
ArtMED has strong transfer and adaptability potential, as the tool and user guide are publicly available for free via established platforms (e.g., ELTIS, POLIS, Interreg Euro-MED, MEDcities). At least 30 PTAs in Euro-MED can adopt it, supported by IEDu2019s transfer strategy and ECLu2019s role in ensuring uptake and continuous improvement through data collection. Long-term transfer is secured via the Euro-MED academy and thematic communities. For successful implementation, transnational cooperation is needed to adapt planning tools to Euro-MED characteristics, transfer learnings from other regions, and compare results across diverse contexts
