Development of Build-MaaS Architecture, a Mobility-as-a-Service platform for the Construction Sector.

The demand of mobility associated with the construction sector has reached a paramount volume in the last few years, including an always more dynamically optimisation of the displacements of employees, tools and vehicles, should their be public or private. In parallel, emerging solutions arise and foster alternative approaches like the mutualization of traffic and the car–sharing. In the same spirit, multimodal mobility and Mobility as a Service (MaaS) have appear as key concepts in the professional sector with the goal to fulfill a wide number of technical and functional requirements, e.g., the delivery time and location, for each construction project, considering planning that may change depending on the evolution of the overall project. In this context, the paper introduces Build–MaaS, a specialisation of the ProMaaS platform which has been developed to open and extend existing mobility services and technologies by addressing multimodal cross-border mobility issues through the lens of the building sector. This platform aims to facilitate the mobility in the construction of the workers, their tools, and the material they need. Build–MaaS has bee identified of major interest in Luxembourg which, due to the country size, has an exceptionally high volume of business commuting needs from and to neighbouring countries, e.g. to meet partners or to visit customers.
