At Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) we have been participating in several Horizon Europe, Interreg, and DUT projects on the topics of mobility as a service, mobility planning, micromobility integration, and multimodal transport solutions.
Related to the MaaS solutions we have experience in integrating different mobility services, generating user groups, and creating mobility packages in the framework of the MaaS4EU Horizon 2020 project.

In terms of soft measures we have experience in promoting public transport, elaborating a methodology for sustainable mode choice, and suggesting measures for organizations to change travel behaviour in the frame of the MoveCit Central Europe project.

Considering evaluations, we have experience in creating a smart mobility index and evaluation criteria for multimodal solutions in the framework of the RegiaMobil Central Europe project.

In addition, we work on the optimization of multimodal travel chains. In order to provide an optimal choice of activity locations and travel time reduction, a daily activity chain optimization method has been elaborated. The method includes temporal and spatial flexibility of the activities, thus it can efficiently mitigate the travel time of the users.

Domokos Esztergár-Kiss is a senior lecturer at Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) and international project coordinator of the Faculty of Transportation Engineering and Vehicle Engineering. His main research topics are the optimization of multimodal travel chains for passengers, the development of Mobility as a Service related solutions, and the establishment of workplace mobility plans for promoting sustainable commuting. He has published 50 papers in leading journals with Impact Factor. He was the main organizer of several international conferences (e.g. MT-ITS 2015, EWGT 2017, hEART 2019, and TRA 2026) and is involved in several Horizon 2020 projects, Interreg projects. and COST Actions (e.g. MoveCit, LinkingDanube, MaaS4EU, Electric travelling, BE OPEN, RegiaMobil, OJP4Danube, metaCCAZE). Moreover, he was a Fulbright scholar at the University of California, Davis in 2021, he was the chair of IEEE HS YP, he is a council member of AET, and he was the vice-president of ECTRI.
