Mobility as a Service (MaaS): A Bibliometric Analysis of Research Trends, Technology Acceptance, and Urban Logistics Integration

This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) research, focusing on its implications for urban transport planning, engineering, and logistics management. Utilizing the Scopus database and VOSviewer software, we analyzed 603 documents published between 2016 and 2023. Our findings reveal a significant surge in MaaS research, particularly from 2020 onwards, with the United Kingdom, Australia, and the Netherlands emerging as leading contributors. The keyword analysis, facilitated by VOSviewer, uncovered four main research clusters, highlighting the multidisciplinary nature of MaaS studies. Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice was identified as the most influential journal in the field. This study provides crucial insights into the evolving landscape of MaaS research, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize urban mobility and address complex demand-supply dynamics in city logistics.
