Design and execution of research and development

Description

Dublin city council and SEAI (sustainable energy authority of Ireland) are looking to test shared mobility options for staff through integration of e-cars, e-bikes and push bikes through the piloting of a smart mobility hub service solution. Any solution should also have the ability to be replicated at other DCC sites, public sector premises and also at private sector locations. Dublin city council and SEAI (sustainable energy authority of Ireland) are looking to test shared mobility options for staff through integration of e-cars, e-bikes and push bikes through the piloting of a smart mobility hub service solution. Any solution should also have the ability to be replicated at other DCC sites, public sector premises and also at private sector locations. Key Criteria could include: — Streamlining of existing shared e-cars and vans that are cumbersome to book and underutilised, — Need to deliver an integrated Smartphone based solution integrating the booking and unlocking/locking of shared e-cars, e-bikes and push bikes, — Develop concepts for a staff training programme and sharing policy statement (focusing on safety of staff and security of vehicles), — Engagement with relevant insurance companies to enable the delivery of this shared mobility service in DCC, — Encourage deployment of smart technologies and innovation in new business model approaches for example the city council may not own the vehicles but utilise them as a service offering — Encouraging gamification and reward based model approach to increase staff adoption, — To partner with other public and private organisations to replicate the model in a public and private sector setting. — Innovate in the use of smarter licensing and regulations especially within the area of insurance and to scale this out as a service across the city, — Enabling staff to also utilise car-pooling services provided by other staff members, — Partner with other public and private sector organisations to share experience and support a scaled solution and possibility to build a network of partner smart staff mobility hubs within the city centre.
