AI Business Models for Travel and Transport (White Paper)

Whether through networked mobility spaces or the optimization of traffic flows, logistics and transport processes – Artificial Intelligence can make an important contribution to the mobility of the future, improving existing business models and enabling new ones. In a white paper, experts from Plattform Lernende Systeme present the potential of AI systems for sustainably shaping the mobility sector of the future based on various stakeholder groups in fictitious logistics and travel paths. For this purpose, the authors have analyzed possible business models and the role of AI-based platforms for travel and transportation. In the paper, the central elements of a business model are considered individually for different groups of actors and the network relationships with other actors are described. In addition, the white paper identifies design options to enable the structural, economic, legal and entrepreneurial framework conditions for successful AI business models in mobility. This concerns, for example, the establishment of a mobility cloud in conjunction with a secure data ecosystem.
