DEMOCRITOS project introduces the “Mobility Credits Model” (MCM) as a transport specific platform that will enable travelers, mobility providers, technology providers and transport planners to understand the implications of climate policy and increasing prices for greenhouse gas emissions and to identify new opportunities in urban mobility first and in extra-urban mobility later. The concept of the “Mobility Credits” was originally developed by the Italian firms Evidenze and Quaeryon TM with the support of Fondazione Italiana Accenture (owner of the trademark “Crediti di Mobilità” ) and was further developed through the collaboration with the Municipality of Genova. The “Mobility Credits Model” allows a range of possible implementations schemes, from a “pedagogic tool” to a “mandatory demand management scheme”, from a “social network” to “enterprise applications”, implementing a user-centred approach, where environment goals, accessibility, diversification and affordability have to be integrated.
