MOBiNET: Architecture and experiences from a marketplace for mobility services

Abstract

The paper shows an innovative approach for a European-wide ITS service platform which addresses current barriers of cooperative system-enabled service deployment such as lack of harmonised services, availability of communication means, inaccessibility and incompatibility of transport-related data, fragmentation of end user subscriptions and payment services, and proprietary technologies in user devices. The primary goal is the holistic simplification of the overall process by bringing together mobility service offerings and demand in a common market place. In this paper we present an overview of the platform architecture and its development status. We describe realized requirements, the experiences during first platform usage and open feature requests.
