SKIDATA Mobility Hubs White Paper

In a market overflowing with “white papers,” it’s easy to get cynical. Too many reports gather dust - recycling the same old statistics, offering little practical value, and rarely bringing anything truly new to the conversation.

The SKIDATA Mobility Hubs White Paper is different

It’s the result of months of real collaboration, bringing together a network of industry leaders, operators, scientists, and city officials from across Europe to answer the urgent question:

How can today’s parking facilities be transformed into the mobility hubs of the future?

From Idea to Insight: How the Study Went Beyond the Obvious

Rather than take the easy road with a survey or a “data dump,” the SKIDATA team set out to understand the why—the motivations, constraints, and complex interdependencies shaping mobility hubs. The approach was a deep qualitative study, built around:

• Long in-depth interviews with mobility insiders from eight countries
• Desktop research and landscape scans to ground conversations in facts and context
• Internal knowledge-sharing to ensure findings would be relevant and actionable

The process spanned over several months.

Critically, the research was mapped to a sustainable market transformation framework—examining not just technology, but also business models, governance, policy, and geography. The intent was never to “size the market,” but to surface actionable insights for real-world strategy.

Who Shaped This Pan-European Project

What sets this project apart is the breadth and diversity of its contributors. Fourteen experts - handpicked for their impact and perspective - represent  the whole value chain of mobility:

• Industry leaders from the Netherlands, Norway, Germany and Switzerland
• Municipal innovators from Ireland, the Netherlands and Spain
• Academic voices from leading Universities in the Netherlands and Germany
• Parking Operators from Italy, Switzerland, Spain and Austria

Each brought a unique point of view, from C-level strategy to on-the-ground operations.

The result?

A mosaic of perspectives that reflects the messy, collaborative reality of making mobility hubs work across Europe.
