Inspiring Futures for Zero Carbon Mobility (INFUZE)

交通运输是英国碳排放的最大贡献者(23%)。解决交通排放问题是英国政府净零排放战略的决定性挑战之一。气候变化委员会一直认为，未来较低的出行需求对于满足我们的碳预算是必要的，但到目前为止，英国或国际上还缺乏能够带来大规模变化的可信解决方案。共享移动资产、车辆的适当大小以及电动轻电移动可以抵消对重型车辆的关注，并通过降低成本和扩大准入来加速电动汽车的普及。新的服务设计选项，如需求响应型交通、跨产品的服务集成、激进的道路空间重新分配和虚拟技术，也可以提高非基于汽车的选择的吸引力。然而，交通科学只专注于测量、预测和在汽车使用量增加的假设下采取行动。它缺乏数据、模型、方法和授权，无法更彻底地转变为不以个人所有权为基础的新形式的移动接入。INFUZE项目旨在解决这一重大差距，其愿景是：改变交通系统干预措施的理解、设计和实施过程，以实现并确保通过按需访问移动性快速过渡到零碳移动性。INFUZE将开发一种突破性的参与式移动性科学方法，以构建一套独特的数据支持的决策工具，以识别和激发新兴移动服务系统的机会，这些服务系统捕捉地点、社会学习和临界点的影响。我们将通过一系列雄心勃勃的现实世界试验来测试、评估和学习如何促进从个人所有权向移动接入的过渡。问题不是“没有车你能活下去吗？”但“如果人们不需要拥有自己的汽车，世界会是什么样子？”INFUZE将通过实现七个关键目标来回答这个问题：与社区和利益相关者共同设计一套以愿景为导向的方法来构建移动系统，为拥有汽车提供积极的替代方案开发新的工具和概念模型，以了解将移动所有权转移到移动接入的倾向，同时考虑到新的移动服务特征构建世界领先的基于代理的建模平台，支持对移动所有权、接入和移动选择进行联合建模创建和部署新形式的数据可视化，使利益相关者能够参与、仔细检查和影响我们的模型，以构建更强的科学合法性通过集成参与式设计科学、数据科学和行为科学的跨学科实验方法迭代和验证我们的工具确定治理和政策变化，这些变化将使新的移动性包能够扩大规模并在全国和其他地区转移改变研究移动性转变的方式，开发一种新的参与式移动性科学方法以实现改变INFUZE将为研究人员提供开发和测试算法和服务的新项目和业务的机会。这笔赠款将作为一个跳板，成为一个新的国家低碳移动过渡卓越中心的跳板，作为一项“基于地点”的重大投资，将使来自英国和全球的合作伙伴能够基于我们独特的数据资产、模型和全生命周期碳评估工具来设计和评估干预措施。我们的参与式移动性科学将改变咨询公司和政府应对移动性过渡挑战的方式。

Transportation is the largest contributor of carbon emissions in the UK (23%). Tackling transport emissions is one of the defining challenges of the UK Government's Net Zero Strategy. The Climate Change Committee consistently finds that lower travel demand futures are necessary to meet our carbon budgets but, as yet, there is a lack of credible solutions in the UK or internationally which can deliver change at scale.Sharing mobility assets, 'right-sizing' of vehicles, and powered light electric mobility could counter the focus on heavier vehicles and accelerate electric vehicle uptake by lowering costs and widening access. New service design options such as demand-responsive transport, service integration across products, radical road space reallocation, and virtual technologies could also improve the attractiveness of non-car-based options. However transport science, has focused only on measuring, predicting, and acting under assumptions of increasing car use. It lacks the data, the models, the methods, and the mandate to inform more radical transformation to new forms of mobility access not predicated on individual ownership. The INFUZE project seeks to address this major gap with a vision:To transform the process of understanding, designing, and implementing transport system interventions to enable and ensure the rapid transition to zero carbon mobility through accessing mobility on demand.INFUZE will develop a ground breaking approach to participatory mobility science to build a unique suite of data-enabled decision tools to identify and galvanise the opportunities for emerging mobility service systems which capture the impact of place, social learning, and tipping points. We will test, evaluate, and learn through a series of ambitious real-world trials how to stimulate a transition from individual ownership to mobility access. The question is not 'can you live without your car?' but 'what would a world where people did not need to own their own cars look like?'INFUZE will answer this question by achieving seven key objectives:Co-design with communities and stakeholders a set of vision-led approaches to building mobility systems which provide a positive alternative to car-ownershipDevelop new tools and conceptual models to understand the propensity to shift mobility ownership to mobility access taking account of new mobility service characteristicsBuild a world leading Agent Based Modelling platform which enables the joint modelling of mobility ownership, access and mobility choicesCreate and deploy new forms of data visualisation to enable stakeholders to engage with, scrutinise and impact our models to build enhanced scientific legitimacyTest, learn, iterate and validate our tools through a transdisciplinary, experimental approach that integrates participatory design science, data science and behavioural scienceIdentify the governance and policy changes which will enable new mobility packages to be scaled up and transferred nationally and beyondChange how mobility transitions are researched, developing a new approach to participatory mobility science for changeINFUZE will open up opportunities for researchers to develop new projects and businesses to develop and test algorithms and services. The grant will act as a springboard to a new National Centre of Excellence in Low Carbon Mobility Transitions as a major 'place-based' investment that will enable partners from across the UK, and globally, to design and evaluate interventions building on our unique data assets, models, and whole life carbon assessment tools. Our participatory mobility science will change the way consultancies and governments approach the mobility transition challenge.
