Abstract

The mobility of persons is changing due to technological innovation linked to autonomous and electric vehicles or to connectivity and data communication technologies. Furthermore, it is being conditioned by social behaviours. Qualitative research based on in-depth interviews with experts in mobility from three European countries is used to analyse the main trends that characterize the current transformation of mobility. Results show that the transformation towards the new autonomous, connected, shared and electric mobility is not only driven by technological development, but mainly by social conditionings such as environmental values, behavioural change or adaptability to users’ habits, and socio-demographic features of citizens to adopt servitization. These changes involve different impacts depending on the segment or niche of population, especially in terms of different age groups. The main conclusion of the research is that the new mobility can be considered a social challenge rather than a technological one.

欧洲流动性的转变：技术变革与社会条件

由于与自动驾驶汽车和电动汽车相关的技术创新，或与连接和数据通信技术相关的技术创新，人员的流动性正在发生变化。此外，它还受到社会行为的制约。通过对三个欧洲国家的交通专家进行深入访谈，开展定性研究，分析当前交通变革的主要趋势。研究结果表明，向新型自主、互联、共享和电动交通方式的转变不仅受到技术发展的驱动，而且主要受到社会条件的影响，如环境价值观、行为变化或对用户习惯的适应性，以及公民采用服务化的社会人口特征。这些变化涉及不同的影响，取决于人口的细分或细分群体，特别是不同的年龄组。研究的主要结论是，新的流动性可被视为一种社会挑战，而不是技术挑战。
