Tiivistelmä
This thesis was written based on the project assistant work as a part of the “Last Mile” project. This project seeks for smart mobility solutions for tourists, commuters and residents in Helsinki metropolitan area. It is funded by European Regional Development Fund as part of the Six City Strategy for years 2017-2019. The city of Vantaa, Forum Virium Helsinki, Espoo Marketing, Aalto University, Metropolia UAS and Demos Helsinki are involved in the “Last Mile” project. Metropolia UAS implements benchmarking studies of mobility solutions in natural parks, city archipelagos and airport areas as part of the “Last Mile” project.
The city of Espoo is interested in innovative mobility solutions which potentially could improve the accessibility of its costal line (“Rantaraitti”) and its city archipelago. Therefore, this thesis studied and analyzed last mile transportation services that operates in Scandinavian cities which have coastal line and archipelago.
Cases were studied through four questions of which one question was studied through an operating model canvas. The questions studied the services’ qualities, success, journey chain and operations.
The analysis of the cases was implemented by SWOT. All innovative mobility cases in this study were based on sharing economy. Some services like BoatFlex were founded on the idea to decrease costs of owning private whereas other services like UbiGo were founded on the idea that mobility of today do not require owning private.
This thesis offers some ideas for Espoo city to continue researching the most suitable transport method for its coastal area and city archipelago.
