Korea’s Smart City Solutions : Best Practices & Technologies

Mobility as a Service(MaaS) Platform is a technology that allows  users to search for various transportation options within a single app,  providing optimal route guidance, reservations, and payment services. As mobility demands diversify, this platform enables seamless access to multiple transportation modes, significantly improving travel  convenience for the public. Mobility as a Service(MaaS) Platform

        Public transportation, metropolitan transit, and  shared mobility services are currently provided  through separate apps by different service  providers, making it inconvenient to use  multiple transport modes. Due to varying traffic conditions, it is difficult  to compare and evaluate multiple transport  options. Issues to Tackle

       Users can book multiple transport modes  through a single app, allowing them to optimize  travel time and costs, significantly improving  convenience. Expanding connectivity between various  transportation options improves public transit  accessibility and convenience. Expected Benefits Use Cases 

·   Hyundai Motor Group: In 2023, Hyundai integrated AI into its demand-responsive  transport service "Shucle" and transitioned it to the MaaS platform "Ddokta" in  collaboration with the Gyeonggi  Transportation Corporation. Initially launched in  Daebudo Island in Ansan, the service is now expanding nationwide.  

·   Metropolitan Transport Commission: In 2024, an intermediary platform operator  (Korea Expressway Corporation) began integrating and managing data from multiple  transportation providers, while private service platform operators launched the K-MaaS  mobile service.         

Key Services  ·   Recommends multimodal transportation options, including flights, trains, buses,  subways, and rental cars, based on travel time and cost, from the user's current  location to their destination.
