Abstract. In recent years, multimodal mobility and Mobility as a Service
(MaaS) have emerged as fundamental concepts in several professional sectors.
This trend comes with a wide number of sector-specific technical and functional
requirements, including for example delivery time and location in the con-
struction sector, strict in-time delivery for sensitive materials in the healthcare
sector and lower transportation times and overall costs in the logistics sector. In
this context, this paper introduces a study towards developing ProMaaS: a
platform concept developed to open and extend existing mobility services and
technologies by addressing multimodal cross-border mobility issues through the
lens of sectorial business approaches. This conceptual solution aims to facilitate
the daily mobility of professional drivers in Luxembourg, which due to the
country size, has an exceptionally high volume of business-related commuting
needs from and to neighbouring countries (e.g. to meet partners or to visit
customers).

1 Introduction
Companies must frequently dispatch and route human and material resources to dif-
ferent business areas [1]. Therefore, many travelling options are available: public
transport, private vehicles, company fleet vehicles or shared mobility solutions such as
carpooling (using private or company cars). In that regard, the definition of a multi-
modal mobility solution considering these factor is required for all economic actors
(workers, private and public organisations) to save time and money. These platforms
already integrate a large set of services such as travel planning, real-time reaction,
ticketing, clearing and are already adapted to cope with cross-border specific aspects.
However, these solutions mostly target personal or corporate usages, e.g. EuTravel,
Bonvoyage, Masai and Faye [2–5]. The objective of this paper is to present Mobility as
a Service for Professionals (ProMaaS) platform. This platform aims to open and extend
