Wiener Linien took up the chance to realise their own and first-of-its kind mobility point within the H2020 project SMARTER TOGETHER during the period from spring 2016 until autumn 2018. By this Wiener Linien supports the City of Vienna and its strategic “Urban Mobility Plan” (Fachkonzept Mobilität) in implementing mobility points in order to offer new services to the citizens of Vienna.

The pilot mobility point in Simmering represents the starting point for an overall bigger development envisaged by Wiener Linien. The long-term vision is to spread mobility points all over Vienna (and perhaps bordering counties) in order to realise a network, which offers a powerful complementary service to the public transport services. The future development of mobility points as well triggers the question about how to make (public) transport stations evolve in order to serve the need for mobility of people and facilitate operations of an increasing number of transport operators.

During a period of more than two years the concept for initially two, later one mobility point in Simmering has been developed. Definition of service offers was drawn up, (urban) design for infrastructure was created, and complex coordination and approval processes within the public utilities and the city administration pursued.

Finally, WienMobil Station Simmeringer Platz offers:

• E-Bikes and E-Cargo-Bike by Simbike (Sycube);
• Bicycle Storage Boxes by Safetydock;
• Car sharing car by Stadtauto;
• E-Charging station by Wien Energie;
• Bicycle pump, sitting bench and infoterminal including touchscreen.

Main learnings from the conceptualisation, planning and implementation of the mobility point concern the

• Integration of mobility points into the digital application WienMobil, operated by Wiener Linien;
• New coordination processes within Wiener Linien and with city administration of Vienna;
• Definition of equipment and service offers for particular locations of mobility points;
• Helpful verve and energy by an integrative and multidisciplinary project setting which enable stakeholders to dare new things.

Finally, an aggregation of new mobility services in public space was created which is accessible for as many people as possible, similar to the public transport. These services are located in vicinity of a public transport (PT) stop offering the opportunity to live multimodality in daily life’s transport trips. At the same time, the mobility point raises the need to emphasize on the interlinkage between the digital access to analog services and how to change user’s behaviour towards digital gates to mobility services.

This Deliverable is dedicated to all smart (E-)mobility actions carried out within Smarter Together in Vienna (The installation report of the Mobility Point will be handled in an own Deliverable).

The qualitative added value of Smarter Together is to combine different energy and urban renewable actions within one approach and to demonstrate new integrated solutions. For Vienna, the big opportunity is to connect refurbishment and energy actions or citizen’s engagement and local activation actions with mobility solutions. Because of this, synergies can be fostered, and it was even possible to develop an additional dynamic in the implementation process. This is most evident in the E-Carsharing at the social housing site of the limited profit housing association (LPHA) BWSG in the Hauffgasse or within the Co-Design processes for the E-Bikes as well as the Mobility Point. A Local Mobility Strategy within this Urban Renewable approach pinned mobility very high on the agenda and created a commitment by different Stakeholders. In Vienna, the cooperation with industry (Siemens and Post) brought relevant new insights for solutions on CO2-free logistics. During the project, additional ideas came up, very relevant for the objectives of the project. A mobility survey delivered important data for conception of services and monitoring, and an e-cargo bike deployed through the actors of the Urban Living Lab promoted a new mobility service.

The Deliverable is a comprehensive overview of 7 sub-projects implemented by different partners. It provides information, facts and figures as well as learnings in order to understand the nature of the solutions and their mayor business case outlines. In Smarter Together, the present Deliverable is providing useful content to support the replication and dissemination of the solutions. The main content of the sub-projects by Sycube, Siemens, Post and the BWSG-E-Carsharing directly came from the partners! Because of this and the different nature of the actions, the chapters are slightly adapted. More data according to the operation, usage and impacts of the solutions will be provided through the Deliverables in Monitoring (WP6 of Smarter Together), after a sufficient time of measuring and operations.

In total about 2,246,000 Euros have been invested until end of 2018 for (e-)mobility projects in the context of Smarter Together incl. the mobility point. These investments are directly triggered by Smarter Together and its funding. Therefore, different first of its kind solutions that would not have existed this way or that soon without the joint project have been realized.
