Abstract

MaaS (Mobility as a Service) is often presented as a means to solve some of the most pressing mobility issues such as car dependency and increasing vehicular greenhouse gas emissions. In this context, adequate models and simulations are key to estimating the impact of potential MaaS implementations and support decision-making to reap the benefits MaaS could bring. This article aims at reviewing MaaS representation in existing academic literature pertaining to transportation modelling, in order to assess its progress and identify trajectories for future improvements. We do so by considering mobility as an economic system in which MaaS interacts with both travel demand and supply. After identifying an adequate set of indicators to analyze MaaS models, we review 31 contributions and find out that most studies consist of demand-centered usage models while the integration of the system's supply side's operational and profitability factors is still lacking, especially in-MaaS financial flows.
