Transport Planning and Travel Information
The Viajeo project will design, demonstrate and validate an open platform which will be able to: support the transport operations, planning and a wide range of traveller information services; deliver dynamic information independent from language to improve their provision of transport information and traveller services through integrated traffic data collection and management; deliver a solution that enables cross-modal journey planning, dynamic route guidance and improved personal mobility and provide standardised interfaces to connect a variety of entities needed for the mobility services.
The open platform will facilitate the integration of components for data management allowing integration of European and local components as most convenient in Athens, São Paulo, Beijing and Shanghai. The demonstration cities in Europe, China and Brazil have been carefully chosen to ensure that they have a reputation as national role models, allowing the results of successful demonstrations to be extended to other cities in these countries and also potentially to other countries in the respective continents.
Objectives
The scientific and technical objectives of the project are:
- Design of an open platform with interfaces to a wide range of mobility services.
- Implementation of the open platform in Europe, and in the emerging Economies, i.e. China and Brazil.
- Validation of the open platform.
- Assessment of social and transport impacts of the implementation and demonstration of the open platform.
Viajeo will involve users, traffic managers, public authorities, transport operators, equipment manufacturers, vehicle manufacturers, service providers, application and service developers, content owners and providers, and research organisations.
