As urban demand and market forces evolve, personal vehicles are set to give way to on demand and ride sharing services. Operating trials in a diverse urban environment helps organisations understand where new mobility models can be deployed and the factors that affect how they can be deployed and how successful they could be.

For providers of new mobility solutions, real-world testing means making sure that vehicles and services can identify and successfully travel to the right locations for pick-ups and drop-offs.

It means exploring how to optimise new mobility for commercial viability, sustainability and for user experience and accessibility. At SMLL, you can test performance scenarios including remote operation, occupancy, advertising ability and booking and payment processes.
