No. 14: Economic and mathematical engineering study by market design for SMP construction

R&D Technical Issues ⑧ Economic study of market design that brings easier service provision of smart mobility services
Project Overview This research and development applies the market design concept and organizes the trading rules for mobility services on platforms. The interim goal of the project is to summarize the subsidy system in the mobility service market (in particular, the issues of the subsidy system in Japan, including comparisons with overseas) and the impact of safety index displayed on the platform on the feasibility of the platform. The final goal of the project is to contribute by providing a theoretical basis for the preparation of diagnostic guidelines and mobility re-design reports as an implementation plan, reflecting numerical calculation experiments including mathematical engineering perspectives.

Target issues to be resolved •Inefficiencies caused by generating the multiple, diverse and non-uniform platforms due to current subsidies for businesses
•Loss of opportunities to provide mobility services that meet the user needs, due to unprofitable businesses being survived by subsidies
