| Abstract | Smart and shared mobility, from e-scooters to pool-riding services, reshape mobility in cities worldwide. While there is wide scope for new business opportunity in mobility, administrations remain unclear of how to manage and organize shared mobility and the big data underpinning shared mobility to serve the public good, in particular by reducing congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. Here, we suggest that management of smart mobility data constitutes a new layer of urban infrastructure that is integral to reaching sustainability goals. We investigate how integrated data management can realize the benefits of big data applications, while effectively managing risks, exemplifying our argument for the case of shared mobility in Israel. We argue that shared mobility and associated data management is neither necessary nor sufficient condition for sustainable mobility. However, given the current trend towards digitalization, data rentiership and surveillance capitalism, we suggest that institutionalizing data management of smart and shared mobility as a public good is a wise move that protects mobility users and facilitates efforts to steer shared mobility systems to low-carbon, low-congestion, and inclusive mobility. We develop a typology of six data platforms and find that integrated data platforms offer an opportunity to leverage benefits if three key design principles are followed: (1) open (but not necessarily free) data access; (2) maintaining the privacy, agency and participation of individuals, users, and the public; and (3) tailoring mobility services to meet well-defined goals of public policy. |
