1180 | 248 | The role of MaaS in the digital transition of the mobility in rural areas. Sustainable and inclusive strategies for the optimization of transport in empty Spain (EsMaaS) | David Alejandro Ramirez Cajigas

The « EsMaaS » project aimed to propose and evaluate strategies for implementing Mobility as a Service (MaaS) for managing mobility in rural areas. The project team integrated an optimization model that considered the specific needs of users and dynamic transportation systems adapted to the territorial structures of the « Spain vacía. » This approach facilitated the ecological and digital transition of mobility while improving accessibility for the population in rural areas and reducing spatial and social inequities._x000D_

The scientific proposal focused on reevaluating the three key implementation pillars of MaaS (users, transportation systems, and providers) and adapting their analysis and strategies to different territorial structures in rural areas. The project team aimed to maximize the potential of MaaS environments. This approach aligned perfectly with the objectives and challenges related to ecological transition (sustainable mobility), digital transition (intelligent mobility), and territorial equity and cohesion (fair and accessible mobility for everyone)._x000D_

Overall, the « EsMaaS » project contributed to advancing the scientific understanding of MaaS implementation in rural areas and provided valuable insights for future research in this field. Policymakers, researchers, and practitioners can use the project’s findings and recommendations as a basis for improving mobility and reducing inequities in rural areas._x000D_

1254 | | Territorial levels in worldwide air transport | Federico De Andreis (1)

The mobility of passengers and goods is fundamental to economic and social activities. Every movement has a purpose, an origin a potential set of intermediate locations, a destination and a nature linked to geographical attributes.
Mobility is supported and guided by transport systems composed of infrastructures, modes and terminals that enable individuals, institutions, companies, regions and nations to interact and to carry out economic, social, cultural or political activities (Rodrigue et al., 2006).
Understanding how mobility is linked to the geography of transport and airports becomes a key element in the research on the links between spatial organization and people, goods and information including in the analysis attributes and constraints related to the origin, the destination, extension, nature and purpose of mobility (Spinedi, Spirito, 2017).
Transport geography takes the form of a sub-discipline of geography that deals with the movement of goods, people and information, seeking to link spatial constraints and attributes with origin, destination, extent, nature and purpose of the movements (Rodrigue et al., 2006).
Within this view, the session seeks to analyze the interactions between territories and air transport, identifying how the transports influence the territories they serve or cross (Dobruszkes 2012).
The research focus is on air transport in particular, a phenomenon that can be represented by means of networks, which, as an anthropic manifestation, contributes to shaping the pattern of interactions in geographical space, helping to form channels along which along which economic development and human relations are directed (Borruso, 2011).

1149 | | What Future for maritime transport in Europe? | Arnaud Serry (1)

Maritime transport, especially containerisation, has made a major contribution to globalisation and to the geography of globalisation. Maritime networks are also shaping the geography of the world by accentuating inequalities between different parts of the world, in particular in terms of accessibility. Since the 1970s, East Asia has gradually emerged as the new centre of gravity of the global maritime system, instead of Northern America and Europe.
Key global players dominate the maritime industry: container carriers, freight forwarders, terminal handling operators, shippers, ports and inland carriers. They have played a crucial role in the establishment of the container networks, which are shaping the geography of the world.
But after more than 50 years of a booming situation, the shipping industry is perhaps at a turning point of its history. The context is not anymore, the same and two factors can be considered very sensitive for the future of maritime transportation in Europe. On the one hand, the ability of European society to move towards new, more sustainable models at a technological, environmental, social and productive level. So, the European maritime sector, must face major environmental challenges, even though the major technological breakthroughs are still very uncertain in terms of decarbonising maritime transport. On the other one, the geopolitical and global growth context is today moving forcing the European ports to adapt.
Finally, yet importantly, the shipping industry has dramatically changed over the past decade. The oligopolistic situation has crucial consequences for port competition but also for inland services to major cities and hinterlands.
This session will therefore examine the future of maritime transport in Europe in relation to globalisation and the ability of shipping industry to reshape Europe and its geography as has happened in the past.
Proposals are thus welcome on the following themes:
– The interactions between the evolution of international trade and shipping. The consequences of these evolutions Europe.
– The evolution of maritime networks and the interactions between these networks and the geography of globalisation,
– The evolution of the role of ports in maritime networks and the reconfiguration or otherwise of maritime ranges in Europe,
– The evolution of the hinterland service in relation to the geography of the European metropolises,
– The capacity of the European maritime system to respond to environmental challenges and the possible consequences on maritime services. The session will consist of presentations in English.
