CAR POOLING, CAR SHARING
A system that gives people access to a (small or large) fleet of cars so that they can use an automobile individually in sequence, i.e. not simultaneously. Car Sharing is a form of short-term rental, even by the hour. This meaning of Car Sharing is widely used in continental Europe – in the UK it is often the expression “car club” that describes this form of sequential sharing.
Significantly different is what is typically called Car Pooling (in North America also Ride Sharing) where users share (part of) a journey with others in the same car at the same time. In the UK, this model is often referred to as Car Sharing.
There are two types of sharing organisation – station-based and free floating. The success of car sharing within the context of ‘sharing than owning’ is based on the latter model. In short: For SUNRISE-internal communication:

CITIZEN SCIENCE
Citizen science is defined in several ways because it has multiple origins and comes from different concepts. The Oxford English Dictionary [1] in 2014 defined it as "scientific work undertaken by members of the general public, often in collaboration with or under the direction of professional scientists and scientific institutions”. This refers to all those projects where participants collect and share data and observations, often on vast geographical areas or on long periods of time, or those in which thousands of people, thanks to intensive and innovative use of ICT media and web 2.0, help processing huge amounts of data. Citizen science can be defined as a new method of integrating people with their everyday experiences in processes of research, ideally from the very beginning (definition of the problems/challenges). Within the research policies of the EU, citizens science is strongly connected with the activities of (urban) living labs. However, Citizen Science, as Bonney, Cooper and Ballard [2] point out, is also relevant when it allows ordinary citizens to ask questions and provide answers to important questions or to direct public attention to specific issues like inclusive mobility. In INCLUSION, this mostly refers to the involvement of citizens in problem co-definition and co-solution. Sources: [1] New words list June 2014". Oxford English Dictionary. Retrieved 3 June 2016”.

CO-CREATION
The combination of the following two definitions from the literature describe INCLUSION’s notion of co-creation:
Category: Social Innovation
Author: RUPPRECHT
CO-DEVELOPMENT
The term Co-development denotes one phase within a larger co-creation process. It highlights the fact that citizens and other stakeholders are actively involved in the development of concrete action plans. In the time sequence of a co-creative innovation chain, co-development follows the initial phase through which problems and challenges are co-identified and it builds the basis for the ensuing phase, during which action plans are co-implemented.

CO-FINANCING
Co-financing means that investments (related risks and profit opportunities) are not only taken by one central player (e.g. the local authority, one bank or other lending of financial institutions) but are a joint venture of multiple players including local residents, businesses, the municipality, NGOs etc.
Category: Business models

CO-IMPLEMENTATION
The term co-implementation stresses the fact that novel solutions are not only to be planned and developed in a collaborative way across public administration and target users but that the target users have a role also in the implementation.

COLLECTIVE
In the context of Inclusion, Collective Transport indicates a form of mobility where more people travel together by sharing the same physical infrastructure and equipment (e.g. public transport where more people shares the same bus or Car Pooling where a few people shares the same car). Collective transport services is either owned and operated by a publicly funded body (e.g. local, regional and national authority) or privately funded body (e.g. a company or a cooperative of private individuals) and aims at reducing car traffic. The term can also be used to indicate the collective design and development of services and projects.

COMBINED MOBILITY
Services (e.g. carsharing, taxis and shared taxis, bicycle and bike-sharing, car-pooling, demand-responsive transport, car-rental, etc.) that can complement the classic fixed line-and timetable-bound public transport services and, together with walking, they form a complete and coherent mobility solution.
In some cases UITP defines ‘Combined Mobility’ as a synonym of Level 0,1,2 of MaaS.

COST-EFFECTIVENESS
Something is cost effective if it provides adequate financial return in relation to the expenditure. Cost Effectiveness is therefore the relationship between monetary inputs and the desired outcome. In the case of public transport, cost effective means the provision of high quality public transit service (fast and seamless) between cities and rural areas at an acceptable cost for the population, which in turn is essential for urban/rural functionality and prosperity.

DEMAND-RESPONSIVE TRANSPORT
Public transport where the service is available to the general public (i.e. it is not restricted to particular groups of user according to age or disability criteria or place of employment); the service is provided by low capacity road vehicles such as small buses, vans or taxis; the service responds to changes in demand by either altering its route and/or its timetable; and the fare is charged on a per passenger and not a per vehicle basis. In some cases, the DRT has to be ordered (for example called by phone) like the German "TaxiBus". If it isn’t ordered, the TaxiBus won’t drive.

DISABILITY
Disabilities is an umbrella term, covering impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions. An impairment is a problem in body function or structure; an activity limitation is a difficulty encountered by an individual in executing a task or action; while a participation restriction is a problem experienced by an individual in involvement in life situations. Disability is thus not just a health problem. It is a complex phenomenon, reflecting the interaction between features of a person’s body and features of the society in which he or she lives. Overcoming the difficulties faced by people with disabilities requires interventions to remove environmental and social barriers.

LIVING LAB
The gathering of public-private partnerships in which businesses, researchers, authorities, and citizens work together for the creation, validation, and test of new services, business ideas, markets, and technologies in real life contexts. The purpose of a Living Lab is to create a shared arena in which digital services, processes, and new ways of working can be developed and tested with user representatives and researchers. Hence, a Living Lab is an environment in which people and technology are gathered and in which the everyday context and user needs stimulate and challenge both research and development, since authorities and citizens take active part in the innovation process.”

SMART MOBILITY
No universally accepted definition exists of the adjective “smart” as in smart city or smart mobility. Its mainstream interpretation revolves around the real-time exchange of digital data about the status of various parameters. This coupling is expected to achieve a better “match” between the supply and demand side (e.g. of electricity, heat, mobility services etc.) in a way that triggers radical efficiency gains and reduces idle spare capacities.
Whereas this interpretation tends to rely primarily on technical measures – without, for example, questioning the perception of mobility needs – the adjective “wise” is sometimes used to highlight the importance of a systematic reflection about the necessity of travel, trip qualities etc.

SOCIAL COHESION
Cohesiveness has been a topic of long-term interest in sociology and psychology as well as in mental health and more recently in public health. In social psychology, cohesiveness is considered an attribute along with other processes operating within and between small groups. In psychology, cohesiveness relates to the members of a group who share emotional and behavioural characteristics with one another and with the group as a whole. In mental health, the small group is viewed as a dynamic system in which the differentiation of roles during phases of group development is dependent upon a cohesive group bond. And, in public health, cohesiveness is viewed as part of the social and environmental context of individuals and societies that influence health risks and protective factors.
