Stars H2020

launched in october 2017 and standing for “shared mobility opportunities and challenges for european cities”, stars aims to explore the diffusion of carsharing in europe, its connections with technological and social innovations, as well as its effects on other travel modes (private car, bike, walk, taxi, public transport…). during 30 months, stars will bring together experts from transport engineering, environmental psychology, and industrial economics fields. coordinated by marco diana, associate professor at politecnico di torino (italy), this multidisciplinary consortium will adopt a co-modality approach, setting the optimal combination between carsharing use and other modes of transportation. users attitudes and behaviours will also be taken into consideration. as a support tool document based on stars's results, a policy toolkit will provide european mobility stakeholders and policymakers guidelines of the best decisions and strategies to implement environmental and cost-effect
