“…This information can be used to develop new methods to transform urban mobility [43]. In addition, mixed methods can help to analyze the sustainable and successful management of business models [44] and enable insights into the organizational structures and cooperation necessities in business projects [45,46]. As a result, studies that use research and business model analysis can ensure that the main criteria and barriers for an overarching transformation of the mobility sector are identified and that resource-efficient, open, innovative business models that link the various stakeholders are developed [47,48].…”

Urban mobility systems are facing far-reaching structural transformations: There is the challenge of managing the growing volume of traffic and the associated environmental and social problems. On the one hand, novel micro-mobility services such as light electric vehicles (LEVs) show high potential for reducing emissions, e.g., through increased energy efficiency. On the other hand, they require change of urban mobility systems, e.g., through increasing shared concepts. The mixed methods approach is considered a good methodology for exploring the transformation of urban mobility systems since it can help to answer both technical and societal questions. Two transdisciplinary projects using the mixed method design were evaluated to improve the research for future mobility. To provide a critical reflection of the projects, a catalog of quality criteria was used to evaluate the research. This catalog was evaluated using structured interviews with project participants from research, practice and civil society. The results show that the combination of applied methods enables a comprehensive multi-perspective sustainability evaluation of urban micro-mobility concepts. The need for an early participatory research design was also evaluated. The result is an exemplary research design and a methodological guideline for the successful application of mixed methods for transformation research in the field of urban mobility systems.

“…Car sharing is situated in the urban transport system Botsman & Rogers, 2010;Degirmenci et al, 2017;. Further integration between shared mobility operators and cities is needed to increase sustainability (Cohen & Kietzmann, 2014) as business model innovation transforms user mobility practices (Sarasini & Langeland, 2021).…”

“…Nowadays, there are large ride-hailing platforms in various countries of the world, e.g., Uber, Didi, Lyft, Gett, Mytaxi (Hailo), Ola Cabs, BlaBla Car, Careem, and Kako Taxi. The increase of novel business models are introduced to different ride-hailing platforms year by year all over the world [2][3][4]. Feng et al show that the on-demand hailing system is more efficient when the traffic intensity is low or high, while the street-hailing system could be more competent in regular traffic intensity or the low density of taxis distributed [5].…”

“…Turo ń in reference [6] indicates several main business models concerning business-to-consumer (B2C) roundtrip, business-to-business (B2B) mode, one-way models, the non-profit business model, as well as a hybrid form in the form of B2B and B2C entities. A business model based on open innovations has five main characteristics: both uses its own and external solutions, cooperation with specialists, meet customer expectations to improve market advantage, use available ideas, and develop knowledge, skills, licenses, or technology [2,4]. Wan Mohamad et al mention the new initiative Uber + Travel, whose partners are online travel agency, Chinese Airlines, and a few travel services providers to provide the tourists with the smooth traveling experience [7].…”

Bundling Strategies for Ride-Hailing Platforms Based on Price and Service Level

The increasing popularity of ride-hailing applications has given rise to a new channel in which ride-hailing platforms are bundled into aggregation platforms to earn additional orders by charging commissions and slotting fees. Such bundled channels, unlike traditional reseller electronic ones, may flutter prices, service levels, market demands, and then further affect their profits. These divergent attitudes raise an interesting and key question about whether and under what conditions bundled channels should be introduced to ride-hailing platforms. In this paper, we provide an analytical framework for ride-hailing and aggregation platforms in unbundled and bundled scenarios, respectively. We build a Stackelberg game model in which ride-hailing and aggregation platforms as leaders obtain prices by constructing Nash equilibria, while drivers as followers determine service levels given to two platforms. Drivers’ best responses in terms of service levels for two platforms, as well as platforms’ optimal pricing strategies and profits are achieved. To capture access conditions of the ride-hailing platform and the profit contention between two platforms, we further conduct sensitivity analysis on cost coefficients of service levels, price and cross-price substitutions, service level and cross-service level substitutions, revenue-sharing ratio, cost, as well as commission and slotting fee. Based on numerical examples and analysis of the results, some interesting managerial insights about bundling strategies are gained for ride-hailing platforms.
