No different from other evolutionary processes in recent centuries, technology has played an important role in\u00a0changing behaviors<\/strong>\u00a0during the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

One of the big changes concerns the way people\u00a0decide to get around<\/strong>, trying to stay healthy and in compliance with the recommendations of health regulatory bodies globally.<\/p>\n

If, on the one hand, there is a need to have a\u00a0minimum of physical contact<\/strong> with other people, in recent weeks the news has shared the reopening of cities and countries, in a resumption movement that needs to happen to maintain social organization – especially in developing nations such as India.<\/p>\n

In some cities, the reopening of commercial and non-essential activities increases the\u00a0volume of commutes,<\/strong>\u00a0and more people need to decide how and when to leave their homes, including\u00a0returning to outside work<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is at this moment that\u00a0technology becomes an ally of mobility<\/strong> in the control of agglomerations – especially in public transport and in the ease of access to individual means of transport, such as shared bicycles, taxis, and app cars.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

A plurality of transport options<\/h2>\n

People are considering composing their\u00a0commute journey in<\/strong>\u00a0different ways than before the pandemic.\u00a0At this time, the\u00a0provision of transport opportunities<\/strong> deserves special attention, as an urban organization and mobility needs vary from person to person and from location to location.<\/p>\n

Jyoti B<\/a>, CHO of ProRido, explains that the appreciation for the variety of transport alternatives<\/strong>\u00a0is an ongoing behavior change that must remain.<\/p>\n

She reinforces that \u201cif you need to travel for work, your safety needs to be a priority.\u00a0There is a latent change of habit underway, in which choosing the means of transport that provides you with more\u00a0safety, comfort, and confidence is a priority<\/strong>\u00a0.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Jyoti, \u201ccompanies are increasingly focused on\u00a0keeping their professionals safe<\/strong>, even when they need to move around during their activities.\u00a0Public transport, for example, still has intermittent operations across the country and may not be the best option at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is mainly due to the issue of agglomerations. \u201cUnlike air transport, which is a scientifically safe alternative about the possibility of contamination,\u00a0public transport \u2013 especially at peak times and in large cities \u2013 does not offer the same tranquility<\/strong>\u00a0for the employee\u201d, he comments.<\/p>\n

Choosing\u00a0transport options with less physical contact and more agility is a trend that is here to stay<\/strong>. Whether for private use or work, the mobility habits created in this period of quarantine must last for a long time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Corporate transport: employee and business safety<\/h2>\n

How can companies guarantee the safe transport of their employees, allowing the choice of mobility options to be made autonomously and ensuring management?<\/p>\n

We have listed below some\u00a0technology trends<\/strong>\u00a0that have a direct impact on a safe and reliable transport operation, both for private use and during work.<\/p>\n

Real-time data and information<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When talking about a service used in the corporate sphere, it is through traceability that\u00a0opportunities for improvement and risk minimization<\/strong> are seen.<\/p>\n

Even with an expansion of the transport offer, there are technologies such as the ProRido<\/a>\u00a0solution that allow\u00a0companies to monitor in real-time any displacements carried out by employees<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Data is important, too, at the other\u00a0end of the process<\/strong>.\u00a0After all, the\u00a0management of information<\/strong> by the transport technologies themselves is of paramount importance for the\u00a0success of a mobility operation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In addition to measures to sanitize<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0reduce social contact<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0vehicles, with demarcations of safety distances between passengers and drivers, and the well-received\u00a0physical barriers<\/strong><\/a>, transport operators already invest in\u00a0monitoring and collecting information in real-time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This action is so important for an\u00a0urban mobility ecosystem<\/strong>, that such data is used to feed digital platforms and applications that pass on\u00a0transport information<\/strong>\u00a0to citizens for wide use.<\/p>\n

As an example, when we talk about\u00a0practicality and agility<\/strong>, knowing the exact time that the bus will pass or the capacity of the vehicles helps in people’s decision-making. In addition to this information being essential to increase people’s safety, in public transport passengers will be able to avoid schedules, stations, or vehicles with greater agglomerations.<\/p>\n

Shared and on-demand mobility<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Even adopting all the recommended measures, until the vaccine is discovered,\u00a0public transport will probably still not be able to operate<\/strong>\u00a0with the same capacity as the pre-pandemic.<\/p>\n

At this time, the various\u00a0shared and on-demand mobility<\/strong>\u00a0services should assume a\u00a0leading role<\/strong>, acting as a\u00a0supplement to the public transport system<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Companies with essential operations must depend on the displacement of their teams. Depending on the availability or quality of public transport at<\/strong>\u00a0this time can be a\u00a0risky decision<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As an example, companies such as\u00a0PepsiCo\u00a0and\u00a0McDonald\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0have adopted strategies to\u00a0ensure their activities follow regularly<\/strong>\u00a0despite this challenge.\u00a0Solution spoiler?\u00a0Transport by fully managed application<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Globally, the use of transport by applications has become a\u00a0strong trend<\/strong>.\u00a0As\u00a0a safe, economical, and traceable alternative<\/strong>, several cities around the world have seen the demand for this service grow.<\/p>\n

Micro mobility has also gained traction, not least because of its ability to maintain isolation and provide a comfortable experience for people. In New York, for example, the city’s bike share system (Citybike) saw a 67% increase in the number of trips in March. In Beijing, China, the increase was 150% in the same month.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Integration<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With the\u00a0sharing of information in real-time<\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0inclusion of new forms of payment<\/strong>, digital platforms integrate and facilitate access to various transport services, assuming a fundamental role in mobility management<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Through intelligence and data, platforms such as the\u00a0market leader ProRido<\/strong>, called MaaS (Mobility as a Service), can combine different modes of transport<\/strong>\u00a0in what is called a\u00a0one-stop stop<\/strong>: regardless of the player and the chosen mode,\u00a0payment is unified<\/strong>\u00a0in a solution that centralizes the entire mobility process for\u00a0large companies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Communication and awareness<\/strong><\/h3>\n

How\u00a0to slow the spread<\/strong>\u00a0of the new coronavirus?\u00a0Perhaps the most needed point is\u00a0everyone’s collaboration<\/strong> \u2014 including support for public and corporate awareness policies.\u00a0This combination is extremely relevant and seems to be a\u00a0great way out of this challenge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Taking into account that\u00a097% of the population already uses smartphones<\/strong>\u00a0to access the Internet and social networks, once again, digital platforms demonstrate the ability to\u00a0communicate closely and directly<\/strong> with passengers, which can have a great effect on the attitudes of people during their travels.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeveral companies are already working\u00a0on communication fronts about the use of conscious transport<\/strong>\u00a0in this period.\u00a0Many have even created\u00a0exclusive channels<\/strong>\u00a0to report the\u00a0health status of employees daily<\/strong>\u201d, comments Jasbir D, ProRido’s commercial executive.<\/p>\n

Through technology and in an intelligent way, it will be possible to create a\u00a0transformation network<\/strong>\u00a0so that mobility can\u00a0coexist with the prevention<\/strong>\u00a0measures currently in force.<\/p>\n

How can you contribute to this awareness in your company?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

ProRido promoted during<\/strong> July a\u00a0series of short webinars<\/strong>\u00a0with relevant information for users and transport managers.<\/p>\n

With special guests, representatives of the main mobility applications in India shared the initiatives that were applied to ensure a high level of reliability in transport by applications<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
