Smart City Seoulbull Seoul South Korea has equipped its taxis and buses with GPS

transmitters and used data from the movement of these vehicles to monitor traffic flows and optimize traffic lights speed limits and public transportation schedules often in real-time

bull The city further combines this vehicle data with smart transit-card data (more recently NFC-enabled smartphone wallet data) to observe the movement of people through the cityrsquos subways buses and taxis and ensure both adequate capacity in the transportation system and adjacent infrastructure and services like housing retail and policing

Smart City Other Examplesbull Dublin Ireland worked with IBM to install a network of sensors throughout the

city to monitor traffic in real-time bull This data is combined with closed-circuit cameras and bus-mounted GPS transmitters to

digitally map the city in real-time and to enable real-time intelligent traffic management measures

bull London hired Microsoft in 2011 to create a developer platform around its real-time raw transportation data with the goal of offering consumers more insight into the various transportation options available on any given route bull Usage of the platform quickly grew from thousands to millions of users per day bull The city also layered in Internet of Things devices to monitor temperature vibration and

humidity and to detect faults in the Underground train system bull Uber offer cities beginning with Boston access to its trip data for use in

master-planning

Smart City Data and APIbull The smart cities agenda is transforming how cities manage their infrastructure

and how they communicate with citizens and local businesses bull Open data and the use of sensor technologies to provide real-time feedback

on the use of urban infrastructure are two components at the center of what is considered a ldquosmart cityrdquo

bull Cities around the world are opening up their public transport data to enable third-party developers to create new commercial and social good products

bull Public transport is often a good starting point for cities looking to open up useful data sources as part of a smart cities agenda

Smart City Data and APIbull How public transport data is opened (and the role of APIs in this process)

demonstrates the potential that comes from cities opening up their data bull It is an immediately useful data source that enhances participation in city life bull It can add value to contextual and personal data bull It has a real-time component bull There are commercial revenue opportunities across a range of industry uses with

innovative business models that can be applied bull It often involves multiple stakeholders and therefore requires aggregating of data from

multiple sources

Open amp Agile Smart Cities (OASC) initiativebull The Open amp Agile Smart Cities (OASC) initiative signed by 31 cities from

Finland Denmark Belgium Portugal Italy Spain and Brazil aims to kickstart the use of a shared set of wide-spread open standards and principles enabling the development of smart city applications and solutions to reach many cities at once by making systems interoperable between cities and within a city

bull Cities adopt an initial open-licensed standard API FIWARE NGSI which provides lightweight and simple means to gather publish query and subscribe context-based real-time information

bull The cities will also use and improve standard data models based on experimentation and actual usage bull The initial data models were chosen by mature European smart cities in the CitySDK

initiative forming the basis for a joint City Service Development Kit

12

Open API Platform FIWAREbull The EU-funded open API platform FIWARE has reached an agreement with

seven countries to embed its core infrastructure as open API standards for creating new civic tech solutions bull Belgium Brazil Denmark Finland Italy Portugal and Spain

bull Agreed to three technical mechanisms for the development of smart city infrastructure bull To support the deployment of FIWARErsquos NGSI API open standard which proposes a

common data model for getting real-time contextual data about cities bull To share API data models starting with the CitySDK APIs bull To use the open source platform CKAN to publish open data

bull The initiative hopes to foster the growth of a new wave of startups focused on smart city technologies

Transit Real Time Data Standards And Protocols

39

Copyright copy William El Kaim 2015

Transit Open Format Two Competing Formats

bull Transit open format as open protocol and API provided by Google GTFS platform and API bull The General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) defines a common format for public

transportation schedules and associated geographic information bull GTFS feeds allow public transit agencies to publish their transit data and developers to

write applications that consume that data in an interoperable way bull GTFS-realtime is a feed specification that allows public transportation agencies to provide

realtime updates about their fleet to application developers It is an extension to GTFS bull EU standard named Service Interface for Real Time Information (SIRI)

bull XML protocol to allow distributed computers to exchange real time information about public transport services and vehicles

40

bull The protocol is a European Committee for Standardization technical specification bull developed with initial participation by France Germany (Verband Deutscher

Verkehrsunternehmen) Scandinavia and the UK (RTIG) bull Based on the Transmodel (EN TC278 Reference Data Model For Public Transport

EN12896) abstract model for public transport information bull The present version of TRANSMODEL (V50) uses an Entity-Relationship modeling

approach bull Comprises a general purpose model and an XML schema for public transport

Journey Planner Algorithm And Engines

69

Copyright copy William El Kaim 2015

Searching The Fastest Algorithmbull In 1959 Dijkstra published the first algorithm

bull Tree of minimum total length between n nodes bull In 1987 the algorithm was improved by Tarjan

bull But still not efficient enough for computer available at that time bull In 2005 a challenge organised by Dimacs lead to the modern version of the

algorithm bull The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology did provide several very efficient ones

bull In 2008 Geisberger proposed the ldquo Contraction Hierarchies rdquo algorithm bull Faster and simpler for route calculation used by OSRM

bull In 2012 Daniel Delling from Microsoft Research proposed RAPTOR bull The algorithm is the one used by Navitia

bull In 2013 the ldquoconnection scan algorithmrdquo was released improving Raptor

Rapid Real-time Routingbull RRRR (usually pronounced R4) is a C-language implementation of the

RAPTOR public transit routing algorithm bull httpsgithubcombliksemlabsrrrr

bull Project from the developers of OpenTripPlanner bull The goal of this project is to generate sets of Pareto-optimal itineraries over large

geographic areas (eg BeNeLux or all of Europe) improving on the resource consumption and complexity of existing more flexible alternatives

bull It is the core routing component of the Bliksem journey planner and passenger information system

bull The system should eventually support real-time vehicletrip updates reflected in trip plans and be capable of running directly on a mobile device with no Internet connection

bull One big challenge that Moovit faces is the sheer variety of different data sources it has to handle bull In some areas there are real-time feeds of bus and train locations available whereas in

others it has to work with fixed timetable information bull Whatrsquos more that data comes to Moovit in a variety of formats from 2000 transport

Mobility Lab Transit Tech Initiativebull Much of the initial work has been focused on the design and development of

a new transportation visualization package bull Called Transitivejs which visually articulates personalized transportation data drawing

inspiration from stylized transit maps bull Additionally work has begun on customizing OpenTripPlanner to generate

summaries of transit options bull Rather than emphasizing the details of a specific journey at a specific time of day the

project aims to build features that help people explore and contextualize transport options as a holistic system

bull By showing how key places are connected different transport options may become more easily identified as a logical part of daily routines

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Platform What Are We Doing Thatrsquos Bigger Than Us

bull Platform is one of the most misunderstood ideas in the world of the Digital world bull Platforms can be accidental or intentional

bull A platform is a foundational product that moves beyond product status by encouraging others to build play andor iterate on top of it bull The value and utility of the system is continually being discovered and expanded not just

by the organization but by its users and customers bull Platforms are shared innovation engines that outsource the costly and

uncertain discovery process bull Many platforms today are 100 software but they donrsquot have to be

bull AirBnB and Uber turned the physical world (cars and housing) into a platform for millions

Platform What Are We Doing Thatrsquos Bigger Than Us

bull Users are building businesses on the back of the platform and in some cases changing how they operate in order to better serve the platform

bull Establishing a platform in the center of a robust digital ecosystem requires a digital operating model one that is appropriately permeable to third parties that can co-create new value from what a company and others have to offer

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

city to monitor traffic in real-time bull This data is combined with closed-circuit cameras and bus-mounted GPS transmitters to

digitally map the city in real-time and to enable real-time intelligent traffic management measures

bull London hired Microsoft in 2011 to create a developer platform around its real-time raw transportation data with the goal of offering consumers more insight into the various transportation options available on any given route bull Usage of the platform quickly grew from thousands to millions of users per day bull The city also layered in Internet of Things devices to monitor temperature vibration and

Searching The Fastest Algorithmbull In 1959 Dijkstra published the first algorithm

bull Tree of minimum total length between n nodes bull In 1987 the algorithm was improved by Tarjan

bull But still not efficient enough for computer available at that time bull In 2005 a challenge organised by Dimacs lead to the modern version of the

algorithm bull The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology did provide several very efficient ones

bull In 2008 Geisberger proposed the ldquo Contraction Hierarchies rdquo algorithm bull Faster and simpler for route calculation used by OSRM

bull In 2012 Daniel Delling from Microsoft Research proposed RAPTOR bull The algorithm is the one used by Navitia

bull In 2013 the ldquoconnection scan algorithmrdquo was released improving Raptor

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

Smart City Data and APIbull The smart cities agenda is transforming how cities manage their infrastructure

and how they communicate with citizens and local businesses bull Open data and the use of sensor technologies to provide real-time feedback

on the use of urban infrastructure are two components at the center of what is considered a ldquosmart cityrdquo

bull Cities around the world are opening up their public transport data to enable third-party developers to create new commercial and social good products

bull Public transport is often a good starting point for cities looking to open up useful data sources as part of a smart cities agenda

Smart City Data and APIbull How public transport data is opened (and the role of APIs in this process)

demonstrates the potential that comes from cities opening up their data bull It is an immediately useful data source that enhances participation in city life bull It can add value to contextual and personal data bull It has a real-time component bull There are commercial revenue opportunities across a range of industry uses with

innovative business models that can be applied bull It often involves multiple stakeholders and therefore requires aggregating of data from

multiple sources

Open amp Agile Smart Cities (OASC) initiativebull The Open amp Agile Smart Cities (OASC) initiative signed by 31 cities from

Finland Denmark Belgium Portugal Italy Spain and Brazil aims to kickstart the use of a shared set of wide-spread open standards and principles enabling the development of smart city applications and solutions to reach many cities at once by making systems interoperable between cities and within a city

bull Cities adopt an initial open-licensed standard API FIWARE NGSI which provides lightweight and simple means to gather publish query and subscribe context-based real-time information

bull The cities will also use and improve standard data models based on experimentation and actual usage bull The initial data models were chosen by mature European smart cities in the CitySDK

initiative forming the basis for a joint City Service Development Kit

transportation schedules and associated geographic information bull GTFS feeds allow public transit agencies to publish their transit data and developers to

write applications that consume that data in an interoperable way bull GTFS-realtime is a feed specification that allows public transportation agencies to provide

realtime updates about their fleet to application developers It is an extension to GTFS bull EU standard named Service Interface for Real Time Information (SIRI)

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Transit Open Format Two Competing Formats

bull Transit open format as open protocol and API provided by Google GTFS platform and API bull The General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) defines a common format for public

transportation schedules and associated geographic information bull GTFS feeds allow public transit agencies to publish their transit data and developers to

write applications that consume that data in an interoperable way bull GTFS-realtime is a feed specification that allows public transportation agencies to provide

realtime updates about their fleet to application developers It is an extension to GTFS bull EU standard named Service Interface for Real Time Information (SIRI)

bull XML protocol to allow distributed computers to exchange real time information about public transport services and vehicles

Searching The Fastest Algorithmbull In 1959 Dijkstra published the first algorithm

bull Tree of minimum total length between n nodes bull In 1987 the algorithm was improved by Tarjan

bull But still not efficient enough for computer available at that time bull In 2005 a challenge organised by Dimacs lead to the modern version of the

algorithm bull The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology did provide several very efficient ones

bull In 2008 Geisberger proposed the ldquo Contraction Hierarchies rdquo algorithm bull Faster and simpler for route calculation used by OSRM

bull In 2012 Daniel Delling from Microsoft Research proposed RAPTOR bull The algorithm is the one used by Navitia

bull In 2013 the ldquoconnection scan algorithmrdquo was released improving Raptor

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

bull The Metropolitan Transit Authority of New York (MTA) provides the MTA API for access to New Yorkrsquos subway and bus GTFS data feeds

bull A new policy will require developers to register for an API key before being granted access to the API data

bull Since the MTA began publishing its open data in 2008 over 200 mobile apps using MTA data have been launched by the developer community

bull MTArsquos terms and conditions of use require developers ldquoto download and host the data on the developers or a third partys server and to make the data available to others who will access the server provided by the developerrdquo (Original emphasis in the terms and conditions)

Smart City Other Examplesbull Dublin Ireland worked with IBM to install a network of sensors throughout the

city to monitor traffic in real-time bull This data is combined with closed-circuit cameras and bus-mounted GPS transmitters to

digitally map the city in real-time and to enable real-time intelligent traffic management measures

bull London hired Microsoft in 2011 to create a developer platform around its real-time raw transportation data with the goal of offering consumers more insight into the various transportation options available on any given route bull Usage of the platform quickly grew from thousands to millions of users per day bull The city also layered in Internet of Things devices to monitor temperature vibration and

humidity and to detect faults in the Underground train system bull Uber offer cities beginning with Boston access to its trip data for use in

Smart City Data and APIbull The smart cities agenda is transforming how cities manage their infrastructure

and how they communicate with citizens and local businesses bull Open data and the use of sensor technologies to provide real-time feedback

on the use of urban infrastructure are two components at the center of what is considered a ldquosmart cityrdquo

bull Cities around the world are opening up their public transport data to enable third-party developers to create new commercial and social good products

bull Public transport is often a good starting point for cities looking to open up useful data sources as part of a smart cities agenda

Smart City Data and APIbull How public transport data is opened (and the role of APIs in this process)

demonstrates the potential that comes from cities opening up their data bull It is an immediately useful data source that enhances participation in city life bull It can add value to contextual and personal data bull It has a real-time component bull There are commercial revenue opportunities across a range of industry uses with

innovative business models that can be applied bull It often involves multiple stakeholders and therefore requires aggregating of data from

multiple sources

Open amp Agile Smart Cities (OASC) initiativebull The Open amp Agile Smart Cities (OASC) initiative signed by 31 cities from

Finland Denmark Belgium Portugal Italy Spain and Brazil aims to kickstart the use of a shared set of wide-spread open standards and principles enabling the development of smart city applications and solutions to reach many cities at once by making systems interoperable between cities and within a city

bull Cities adopt an initial open-licensed standard API FIWARE NGSI which provides lightweight and simple means to gather publish query and subscribe context-based real-time information

bull The cities will also use and improve standard data models based on experimentation and actual usage bull The initial data models were chosen by mature European smart cities in the CitySDK

initiative forming the basis for a joint City Service Development Kit

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

bull Platform is one of the most misunderstood ideas in the world of the Digital world bull Platforms can be accidental or intentional

bull A platform is a foundational product that moves beyond product status by encouraging others to build play andor iterate on top of it bull The value and utility of the system is continually being discovered and expanded not just

by the organization but by its users and customers bull Platforms are shared innovation engines that outsource the costly and

uncertain discovery process bull Many platforms today are 100 software but they donrsquot have to be

Platform What Are We Doing Thatrsquos Bigger Than Us

bull Users are building businesses on the back of the platform and in some cases changing how they operate in order to better serve the platform

bull Establishing a platform in the center of a robust digital ecosystem requires a digital operating model one that is appropriately permeable to third parties that can co-create new value from what a company and others have to offer

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Cisco Personal Travel Assistant (PTA)bull Improve the transit experience of commuters by giving them access to

transportation information via a web enabled mobile device from any location bull Joint project between Cisco City of Seoul and city of Amsterdam

bull The PTA consists of a number of solution elements including bull A personal travel planner which among other functions allows the user to select the

optimal modes of transport for their journey schedule travel activities and reduce their carbon emissions

bull Carbon Calculator which informs users of their carbon footprint over time (daily weekly monthly and yearly)

bull Real Time Router which allows the user to optimize their trip as and when conditions change (eg traffic accidents)

a new transportation visualization package bull Called Transitivejs which visually articulates personalized transportation data drawing

inspiration from stylized transit maps bull Additionally work has begun on customizing OpenTripPlanner to generate

summaries of transit options bull Rather than emphasizing the details of a specific journey at a specific time of day the

project aims to build features that help people explore and contextualize transport options as a holistic system

bull By showing how key places are connected different transport options may become more easily identified as a logical part of daily routines

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Searching The Fastest Algorithmbull In 1959 Dijkstra published the first algorithm

bull Tree of minimum total length between n nodes bull In 1987 the algorithm was improved by Tarjan

bull But still not efficient enough for computer available at that time bull In 2005 a challenge organised by Dimacs lead to the modern version of the

algorithm bull The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology did provide several very efficient ones

bull In 2008 Geisberger proposed the ldquo Contraction Hierarchies rdquo algorithm bull Faster and simpler for route calculation used by OSRM

bull In 2012 Daniel Delling from Microsoft Research proposed RAPTOR bull The algorithm is the one used by Navitia

bull In 2013 the ldquoconnection scan algorithmrdquo was released improving Raptor

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

Transit Open Format Two Competing Formats

bull Transit open format as open protocol and API provided by Google GTFS platform and API bull The General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) defines a common format for public

transportation schedules and associated geographic information bull GTFS feeds allow public transit agencies to publish their transit data and developers to

write applications that consume that data in an interoperable way bull GTFS-realtime is a feed specification that allows public transportation agencies to provide

realtime updates about their fleet to application developers It is an extension to GTFS bull EU standard named Service Interface for Real Time Information (SIRI)

bull XML protocol to allow distributed computers to exchange real time information about public transport services and vehicles

bull But still not efficient enough for computer available at that time bull In 2005 a challenge organised by Dimacs lead to the modern version of the

algorithm bull The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology did provide several very efficient ones

bull In 2008 Geisberger proposed the ldquo Contraction Hierarchies rdquo algorithm bull Faster and simpler for route calculation used by OSRM

bull In 2012 Daniel Delling from Microsoft Research proposed RAPTOR bull The algorithm is the one used by Navitia

bull In 2013 the ldquoconnection scan algorithmrdquo was released improving Raptor

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

API Queensland Australiabull The state of Queensland in Australia has responsibility for managing public

transport services for its cities including Brisbane bull Its Department of Transport and Main Roadsrsquo TransLink division has released

the OPIA API which strongly recommends that developers build their own server-side service that wraps the TransLink API and to use caching of all data except the data needed for immediate journey planning

API TransitCastbull Writing an API on top of existing APIs perhaps by augmenting additional

information is definitely a viable business model bull This is the approach TransiCast has taken

bull specialized in aggregating transit data across North America bull working on curating public transportation data access on GoogleTransitDataFeed since

2006 with no association with Google bull Out of the 300 feeds covered about 20 require API keys and they keep those as issued

by the agency to developers to place calls to the agency web services bull Use Google App Engine (GAE)

Open amp Agile Smart Cities (OASC) initiativebull The Open amp Agile Smart Cities (OASC) initiative signed by 31 cities from

Finland Denmark Belgium Portugal Italy Spain and Brazil aims to kickstart the use of a shared set of wide-spread open standards and principles enabling the development of smart city applications and solutions to reach many cities at once by making systems interoperable between cities and within a city

bull Cities adopt an initial open-licensed standard API FIWARE NGSI which provides lightweight and simple means to gather publish query and subscribe context-based real-time information

bull The cities will also use and improve standard data models based on experimentation and actual usage bull The initial data models were chosen by mature European smart cities in the CitySDK

initiative forming the basis for a joint City Service Development Kit

Open API Platform FIWAREbull The EU-funded open API platform FIWARE has reached an agreement with

seven countries to embed its core infrastructure as open API standards for creating new civic tech solutions bull Belgium Brazil Denmark Finland Italy Portugal and Spain

bull Agreed to three technical mechanisms for the development of smart city infrastructure bull To support the deployment of FIWARErsquos NGSI API open standard which proposes a

common data model for getting real-time contextual data about cities bull To share API data models starting with the CitySDK APIs bull To use the open source platform CKAN to publish open data

Transit Open Format Two Competing Formats

bull Transit open format as open protocol and API provided by Google GTFS platform and API bull The General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) defines a common format for public

transportation schedules and associated geographic information bull GTFS feeds allow public transit agencies to publish their transit data and developers to

write applications that consume that data in an interoperable way bull GTFS-realtime is a feed specification that allows public transportation agencies to provide

realtime updates about their fleet to application developers It is an extension to GTFS bull EU standard named Service Interface for Real Time Information (SIRI)

bull XML protocol to allow distributed computers to exchange real time information about public transport services and vehicles

Searching The Fastest Algorithmbull In 1959 Dijkstra published the first algorithm

bull Tree of minimum total length between n nodes bull In 1987 the algorithm was improved by Tarjan

bull But still not efficient enough for computer available at that time bull In 2005 a challenge organised by Dimacs lead to the modern version of the

algorithm bull The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology did provide several very efficient ones

bull In 2008 Geisberger proposed the ldquo Contraction Hierarchies rdquo algorithm bull Faster and simpler for route calculation used by OSRM

bull In 2012 Daniel Delling from Microsoft Research proposed RAPTOR bull The algorithm is the one used by Navitia

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Platform What Are We Doing Thatrsquos Bigger Than Us

bull Platform is one of the most misunderstood ideas in the world of the Digital world bull Platforms can be accidental or intentional

bull A platform is a foundational product that moves beyond product status by encouraging others to build play andor iterate on top of it bull The value and utility of the system is continually being discovered and expanded not just

by the organization but by its users and customers bull Platforms are shared innovation engines that outsource the costly and

uncertain discovery process bull Many platforms today are 100 software but they donrsquot have to be

bull AirBnB and Uber turned the physical world (cars and housing) into a platform for millions

Platform What Are We Doing Thatrsquos Bigger Than Us

bull Users are building businesses on the back of the platform and in some cases changing how they operate in order to better serve the platform

bull Establishing a platform in the center of a robust digital ecosystem requires a digital operating model one that is appropriately permeable to third parties that can co-create new value from what a company and others have to offer

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

bull A platform is a foundational product that moves beyond product status by encouraging others to build play andor iterate on top of it bull The value and utility of the system is continually being discovered and expanded not just

by the organization but by its users and customers bull Platforms are shared innovation engines that outsource the costly and

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

Transit Open Format Two Competing Formats

bull Transit open format as open protocol and API provided by Google GTFS platform and API bull The General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) defines a common format for public

transportation schedules and associated geographic information bull GTFS feeds allow public transit agencies to publish their transit data and developers to

write applications that consume that data in an interoperable way bull GTFS-realtime is a feed specification that allows public transportation agencies to provide

realtime updates about their fleet to application developers It is an extension to GTFS bull EU standard named Service Interface for Real Time Information (SIRI)

bull XML protocol to allow distributed computers to exchange real time information about public transport services and vehicles

Searching The Fastest Algorithmbull In 1959 Dijkstra published the first algorithm

bull Tree of minimum total length between n nodes bull In 1987 the algorithm was improved by Tarjan

bull But still not efficient enough for computer available at that time bull In 2005 a challenge organised by Dimacs lead to the modern version of the

algorithm bull The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology did provide several very efficient ones

bull In 2008 Geisberger proposed the ldquo Contraction Hierarchies rdquo algorithm bull Faster and simpler for route calculation used by OSRM

bull In 2012 Daniel Delling from Microsoft Research proposed RAPTOR bull The algorithm is the one used by Navitia

bull In 2013 the ldquoconnection scan algorithmrdquo was released improving Raptor

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Transport API Britainbull The Transport API has about 600 developers and while initial growth focused

on smartphone apps it is seeing greater uptake among hyperlocal applications offered by larger enterprises

bull Becoming a data aggregator is one approach to commercialization that may suit some developers For Transport API the opportunities to service new markets is continually growing

bull Commercial API license model has drawn in hyperlocal customers like ScreachTV and Toothpick bull It is also servicing large government authorities and global franchises operating in the

UK bull Heathrow airport populating their kiosk screens and websites

bull Transit open format as open protocol and API provided by Google GTFS platform and API bull The General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) defines a common format for public

transportation schedules and associated geographic information bull GTFS feeds allow public transit agencies to publish their transit data and developers to

write applications that consume that data in an interoperable way bull GTFS-realtime is a feed specification that allows public transportation agencies to provide

realtime updates about their fleet to application developers It is an extension to GTFS bull EU standard named Service Interface for Real Time Information (SIRI)

bull XML protocol to allow distributed computers to exchange real time information about public transport services and vehicles

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

bull A platform is a foundational product that moves beyond product status by encouraging others to build play andor iterate on top of it bull The value and utility of the system is continually being discovered and expanded not just

by the organization but by its users and customers bull Platforms are shared innovation engines that outsource the costly and

uncertain discovery process bull Many platforms today are 100 software but they donrsquot have to be

bull AirBnB and Uber turned the physical world (cars and housing) into a platform for millions

Platform What Are We Doing Thatrsquos Bigger Than Us

bull Users are building businesses on the back of the platform and in some cases changing how they operate in order to better serve the platform

bull Establishing a platform in the center of a robust digital ecosystem requires a digital operating model one that is appropriately permeable to third parties that can co-create new value from what a company and others have to offer

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

bull Platform is one of the most misunderstood ideas in the world of the Digital world bull Platforms can be accidental or intentional

bull A platform is a foundational product that moves beyond product status by encouraging others to build play andor iterate on top of it bull The value and utility of the system is continually being discovered and expanded not just

by the organization but by its users and customers bull Platforms are shared innovation engines that outsource the costly and

uncertain discovery process bull Many platforms today are 100 software but they donrsquot have to be

Platform What Are We Doing Thatrsquos Bigger Than Us

bull Users are building businesses on the back of the platform and in some cases changing how they operate in order to better serve the platform

bull Establishing a platform in the center of a robust digital ecosystem requires a digital operating model one that is appropriately permeable to third parties that can co-create new value from what a company and others have to offer

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

bull A platform is a foundational product that moves beyond product status by encouraging others to build play andor iterate on top of it bull The value and utility of the system is continually being discovered and expanded not just

by the organization but by its users and customers bull Platforms are shared innovation engines that outsource the costly and

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Cisco Personal Travel Assistant (PTA)bull Improve the transit experience of commuters by giving them access to

transportation information via a web enabled mobile device from any location bull Joint project between Cisco City of Seoul and city of Amsterdam

bull The PTA consists of a number of solution elements including bull A personal travel planner which among other functions allows the user to select the

optimal modes of transport for their journey schedule travel activities and reduce their carbon emissions

bull Carbon Calculator which informs users of their carbon footprint over time (daily weekly monthly and yearly)

bull Real Time Router which allows the user to optimize their trip as and when conditions change (eg traffic accidents)

a new transportation visualization package bull Called Transitivejs which visually articulates personalized transportation data drawing

inspiration from stylized transit maps bull Additionally work has begun on customizing OpenTripPlanner to generate

summaries of transit options bull Rather than emphasizing the details of a specific journey at a specific time of day the

project aims to build features that help people explore and contextualize transport options as a holistic system

bull By showing how key places are connected different transport options may become more easily identified as a logical part of daily routines

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Searching The Fastest Algorithmbull In 1959 Dijkstra published the first algorithm

bull Tree of minimum total length between n nodes bull In 1987 the algorithm was improved by Tarjan

bull But still not efficient enough for computer available at that time bull In 2005 a challenge organised by Dimacs lead to the modern version of the

algorithm bull The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology did provide several very efficient ones

bull In 2008 Geisberger proposed the ldquo Contraction Hierarchies rdquo algorithm bull Faster and simpler for route calculation used by OSRM

bull In 2012 Daniel Delling from Microsoft Research proposed RAPTOR bull The algorithm is the one used by Navitia

bull In 2013 the ldquoconnection scan algorithmrdquo was released improving Raptor

Rapid Real-time Routingbull RRRR (usually pronounced R4) is a C-language implementation of the

RAPTOR public transit routing algorithm bull httpsgithubcombliksemlabsrrrr

bull Project from the developers of OpenTripPlanner bull The goal of this project is to generate sets of Pareto-optimal itineraries over large

geographic areas (eg BeNeLux or all of Europe) improving on the resource consumption and complexity of existing more flexible alternatives

bull It is the core routing component of the Bliksem journey planner and passenger information system

bull The system should eventually support real-time vehicletrip updates reflected in trip plans and be capable of running directly on a mobile device with no Internet connection

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

bull But still not efficient enough for computer available at that time bull In 2005 a challenge organised by Dimacs lead to the modern version of the

algorithm bull The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology did provide several very efficient ones

bull In 2008 Geisberger proposed the ldquo Contraction Hierarchies rdquo algorithm bull Faster and simpler for route calculation used by OSRM

bull In 2012 Daniel Delling from Microsoft Research proposed RAPTOR bull The algorithm is the one used by Navitia

bull In 2013 the ldquoconnection scan algorithmrdquo was released improving Raptor

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

Transit Open Format Two Competing Formats

bull Transit open format as open protocol and API provided by Google GTFS platform and API bull The General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) defines a common format for public

transportation schedules and associated geographic information bull GTFS feeds allow public transit agencies to publish their transit data and developers to

write applications that consume that data in an interoperable way bull GTFS-realtime is a feed specification that allows public transportation agencies to provide

realtime updates about their fleet to application developers It is an extension to GTFS bull EU standard named Service Interface for Real Time Information (SIRI)

bull XML protocol to allow distributed computers to exchange real time information about public transport services and vehicles

Searching The Fastest Algorithmbull In 1959 Dijkstra published the first algorithm

bull Tree of minimum total length between n nodes bull In 1987 the algorithm was improved by Tarjan

bull But still not efficient enough for computer available at that time bull In 2005 a challenge organised by Dimacs lead to the modern version of the

algorithm bull The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology did provide several very efficient ones

bull In 2008 Geisberger proposed the ldquo Contraction Hierarchies rdquo algorithm bull Faster and simpler for route calculation used by OSRM

bull In 2012 Daniel Delling from Microsoft Research proposed RAPTOR bull The algorithm is the one used by Navitia

bull In 2013 the ldquoconnection scan algorithmrdquo was released improving Raptor

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Transit Open Format Two Competing Formats

bull Transit open format as open protocol and API provided by Google GTFS platform and API bull The General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) defines a common format for public

transportation schedules and associated geographic information bull GTFS feeds allow public transit agencies to publish their transit data and developers to

write applications that consume that data in an interoperable way bull GTFS-realtime is a feed specification that allows public transportation agencies to provide

realtime updates about their fleet to application developers It is an extension to GTFS bull EU standard named Service Interface for Real Time Information (SIRI)

bull XML protocol to allow distributed computers to exchange real time information about public transport services and vehicles

Searching The Fastest Algorithmbull In 1959 Dijkstra published the first algorithm

bull Tree of minimum total length between n nodes bull In 1987 the algorithm was improved by Tarjan

bull But still not efficient enough for computer available at that time bull In 2005 a challenge organised by Dimacs lead to the modern version of the

algorithm bull The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology did provide several very efficient ones

bull In 2008 Geisberger proposed the ldquo Contraction Hierarchies rdquo algorithm bull Faster and simpler for route calculation used by OSRM

bull In 2012 Daniel Delling from Microsoft Research proposed RAPTOR bull The algorithm is the one used by Navitia

bull In 2013 the ldquoconnection scan algorithmrdquo was released improving Raptor

Three types of public transport APIs3 A third type of APIs are the ones created by a consortium of stakeholders

reusing the API and the data owner bull The API comes to exist after different people with different use cases are putting forward

some resources they need when they also add how the response should look like and maybe help build these APIs on top of Open Data

bull Examples Bliksem Labs Navitia OpenTripPlanner

Transport API Britainbull The Transport API has about 600 developers and while initial growth focused

on smartphone apps it is seeing greater uptake among hyperlocal applications offered by larger enterprises

bull Becoming a data aggregator is one approach to commercialization that may suit some developers For Transport API the opportunities to service new markets is continually growing

bull Commercial API license model has drawn in hyperlocal customers like ScreachTV and Toothpick bull It is also servicing large government authorities and global franchises operating in the

UK bull Heathrow airport populating their kiosk screens and websites

API Metropolitan Transit Authority of New York (MTA)

bull The Metropolitan Transit Authority of New York (MTA) provides the MTA API for access to New Yorkrsquos subway and bus GTFS data feeds

bull A new policy will require developers to register for an API key before being granted access to the API data

bull Since the MTA began publishing its open data in 2008 over 200 mobile apps using MTA data have been launched by the developer community

bull MTArsquos terms and conditions of use require developers ldquoto download and host the data on the developers or a third partys server and to make the data available to others who will access the server provided by the developerrdquo (Original emphasis in the terms and conditions)

Transit Open Format Two Competing Formats

bull Transit open format as open protocol and API provided by Google GTFS platform and API bull The General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) defines a common format for public

transportation schedules and associated geographic information bull GTFS feeds allow public transit agencies to publish their transit data and developers to

write applications that consume that data in an interoperable way bull GTFS-realtime is a feed specification that allows public transportation agencies to provide

realtime updates about their fleet to application developers It is an extension to GTFS bull EU standard named Service Interface for Real Time Information (SIRI)

bull XML protocol to allow distributed computers to exchange real time information about public transport services and vehicles

Searching The Fastest Algorithmbull In 1959 Dijkstra published the first algorithm

bull Tree of minimum total length between n nodes bull In 1987 the algorithm was improved by Tarjan

bull But still not efficient enough for computer available at that time bull In 2005 a challenge organised by Dimacs lead to the modern version of the

algorithm bull The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology did provide several very efficient ones

bull In 2008 Geisberger proposed the ldquo Contraction Hierarchies rdquo algorithm bull Faster and simpler for route calculation used by OSRM

bull In 2012 Daniel Delling from Microsoft Research proposed RAPTOR bull The algorithm is the one used by Navitia

bull In 2013 the ldquoconnection scan algorithmrdquo was released improving Raptor

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Transit Open Format Two Competing Formats

bull Transit open format as open protocol and API provided by Google GTFS platform and API bull The General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) defines a common format for public

transportation schedules and associated geographic information bull GTFS feeds allow public transit agencies to publish their transit data and developers to

write applications that consume that data in an interoperable way bull GTFS-realtime is a feed specification that allows public transportation agencies to provide

realtime updates about their fleet to application developers It is an extension to GTFS bull EU standard named Service Interface for Real Time Information (SIRI)

bull XML protocol to allow distributed computers to exchange real time information about public transport services and vehicles

bull But still not efficient enough for computer available at that time bull In 2005 a challenge organised by Dimacs lead to the modern version of the

algorithm bull The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology did provide several very efficient ones

bull In 2008 Geisberger proposed the ldquo Contraction Hierarchies rdquo algorithm bull Faster and simpler for route calculation used by OSRM

bull In 2012 Daniel Delling from Microsoft Research proposed RAPTOR bull The algorithm is the one used by Navitia

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Platform What Are We Doing Thatrsquos Bigger Than Us

bull Platform is one of the most misunderstood ideas in the world of the Digital world bull Platforms can be accidental or intentional

bull A platform is a foundational product that moves beyond product status by encouraging others to build play andor iterate on top of it bull The value and utility of the system is continually being discovered and expanded not just

by the organization but by its users and customers bull Platforms are shared innovation engines that outsource the costly and

uncertain discovery process bull Many platforms today are 100 software but they donrsquot have to be

bull AirBnB and Uber turned the physical world (cars and housing) into a platform for millions

Platform What Are We Doing Thatrsquos Bigger Than Us

bull Users are building businesses on the back of the platform and in some cases changing how they operate in order to better serve the platform

bull Establishing a platform in the center of a robust digital ecosystem requires a digital operating model one that is appropriately permeable to third parties that can co-create new value from what a company and others have to offer

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

bull Platform is one of the most misunderstood ideas in the world of the Digital world bull Platforms can be accidental or intentional

bull A platform is a foundational product that moves beyond product status by encouraging others to build play andor iterate on top of it bull The value and utility of the system is continually being discovered and expanded not just

by the organization but by its users and customers bull Platforms are shared innovation engines that outsource the costly and

uncertain discovery process bull Many platforms today are 100 software but they donrsquot have to be

Platform What Are We Doing Thatrsquos Bigger Than Us

bull Users are building businesses on the back of the platform and in some cases changing how they operate in order to better serve the platform

bull Establishing a platform in the center of a robust digital ecosystem requires a digital operating model one that is appropriately permeable to third parties that can co-create new value from what a company and others have to offer

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Platform What Are We Doing Thatrsquos Bigger Than Us

bull Platform is one of the most misunderstood ideas in the world of the Digital world bull Platforms can be accidental or intentional

bull A platform is a foundational product that moves beyond product status by encouraging others to build play andor iterate on top of it bull The value and utility of the system is continually being discovered and expanded not just

by the organization but by its users and customers bull Platforms are shared innovation engines that outsource the costly and

uncertain discovery process bull Many platforms today are 100 software but they donrsquot have to be

Platform What Are We Doing Thatrsquos Bigger Than Us

bull Users are building businesses on the back of the platform and in some cases changing how they operate in order to better serve the platform

bull Establishing a platform in the center of a robust digital ecosystem requires a digital operating model one that is appropriately permeable to third parties that can co-create new value from what a company and others have to offer

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Mobility Lab Transit Tech Initiativebull Much of the initial work has been focused on the design and development of

a new transportation visualization package bull Called Transitivejs which visually articulates personalized transportation data drawing

inspiration from stylized transit maps bull Additionally work has begun on customizing OpenTripPlanner to generate

summaries of transit options bull Rather than emphasizing the details of a specific journey at a specific time of day the

project aims to build features that help people explore and contextualize transport options as a holistic system

bull By showing how key places are connected different transport options may become more easily identified as a logical part of daily routines

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Cisco Personal Travel Assistant (PTA)bull Improve the transit experience of commuters by giving them access to

transportation information via a web enabled mobile device from any location bull Joint project between Cisco City of Seoul and city of Amsterdam

bull The PTA consists of a number of solution elements including bull A personal travel planner which among other functions allows the user to select the

optimal modes of transport for their journey schedule travel activities and reduce their carbon emissions

bull Carbon Calculator which informs users of their carbon footprint over time (daily weekly monthly and yearly)

bull Real Time Router which allows the user to optimize their trip as and when conditions change (eg traffic accidents)

a new transportation visualization package bull Called Transitivejs which visually articulates personalized transportation data drawing

inspiration from stylized transit maps bull Additionally work has begun on customizing OpenTripPlanner to generate

summaries of transit options bull Rather than emphasizing the details of a specific journey at a specific time of day the

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Moovit Wherersquos My Public Transportbull Wants to solve the ldquouncertaintyrdquo that public transit users face

bull Wherersquos my bus right now How do I find the right stop to board it How do I pay when I get on Itrsquos enough to make you want to stick with a car

bull One big challenge that Moovit faces is the sheer variety of different data sources it has to handle bull In some areas there are real-time feeds of bus and train locations available whereas in

others it has to work with fixed timetable information bull Whatrsquos more that data comes to Moovit in a variety of formats from 2000 transport

agencies around the world bull 30 employees (Dec 2013) and already and already 100 metropolitan areas

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Rapid Real-time Routingbull RRRR (usually pronounced R4) is a C-language implementation of the

RAPTOR public transit routing algorithm bull httpsgithubcombliksemlabsrrrr

bull Project from the developers of OpenTripPlanner bull The goal of this project is to generate sets of Pareto-optimal itineraries over large

geographic areas (eg BeNeLux or all of Europe) improving on the resource consumption and complexity of existing more flexible alternatives

bull It is the core routing component of the Bliksem journey planner and passenger information system

bull The system should eventually support real-time vehicletrip updates reflected in trip plans and be capable of running directly on a mobile device with no Internet connection

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

Searching The Fastest Algorithmbull In 1959 Dijkstra published the first algorithm

bull Tree of minimum total length between n nodes bull In 1987 the algorithm was improved by Tarjan

bull But still not efficient enough for computer available at that time bull In 2005 a challenge organised by Dimacs lead to the modern version of the

algorithm bull The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology did provide several very efficient ones

bull In 2008 Geisberger proposed the ldquo Contraction Hierarchies rdquo algorithm bull Faster and simpler for route calculation used by OSRM

bull In 2012 Daniel Delling from Microsoft Research proposed RAPTOR bull The algorithm is the one used by Navitia

bull In 2013 the ldquoconnection scan algorithmrdquo was released improving Raptor

Rapid Real-time Routingbull RRRR (usually pronounced R4) is a C-language implementation of the

RAPTOR public transit routing algorithm bull httpsgithubcombliksemlabsrrrr

bull Project from the developers of OpenTripPlanner bull The goal of this project is to generate sets of Pareto-optimal itineraries over large

geographic areas (eg BeNeLux or all of Europe) improving on the resource consumption and complexity of existing more flexible alternatives

bull It is the core routing component of the Bliksem journey planner and passenger information system

bull The system should eventually support real-time vehicletrip updates reflected in trip plans and be capable of running directly on a mobile device with no Internet connection

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Searching The Fastest Algorithmbull In 1959 Dijkstra published the first algorithm

bull Tree of minimum total length between n nodes bull In 1987 the algorithm was improved by Tarjan

bull But still not efficient enough for computer available at that time bull In 2005 a challenge organised by Dimacs lead to the modern version of the

algorithm bull The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology did provide several very efficient ones

bull In 2008 Geisberger proposed the ldquo Contraction Hierarchies rdquo algorithm bull Faster and simpler for route calculation used by OSRM

bull In 2012 Daniel Delling from Microsoft Research proposed RAPTOR bull The algorithm is the one used by Navitia

bull In 2013 the ldquoconnection scan algorithmrdquo was released improving Raptor

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

Searching The Fastest Algorithmbull In 1959 Dijkstra published the first algorithm

bull Tree of minimum total length between n nodes bull In 1987 the algorithm was improved by Tarjan

bull But still not efficient enough for computer available at that time bull In 2005 a challenge organised by Dimacs lead to the modern version of the

algorithm bull The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology did provide several very efficient ones

bull In 2008 Geisberger proposed the ldquo Contraction Hierarchies rdquo algorithm bull Faster and simpler for route calculation used by OSRM

bull In 2012 Daniel Delling from Microsoft Research proposed RAPTOR bull The algorithm is the one used by Navitia

bull In 2013 the ldquoconnection scan algorithmrdquo was released improving Raptor

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

Searching The Fastest Algorithmbull In 1959 Dijkstra published the first algorithm

bull Tree of minimum total length between n nodes bull In 1987 the algorithm was improved by Tarjan

bull But still not efficient enough for computer available at that time bull In 2005 a challenge organised by Dimacs lead to the modern version of the

algorithm bull The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology did provide several very efficient ones

bull In 2008 Geisberger proposed the ldquo Contraction Hierarchies rdquo algorithm bull Faster and simpler for route calculation used by OSRM

bull In 2012 Daniel Delling from Microsoft Research proposed RAPTOR bull The algorithm is the one used by Navitia

bull In 2013 the ldquoconnection scan algorithmrdquo was released improving Raptor

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Searching The Fastest Algorithmbull In 1959 Dijkstra published the first algorithm

bull Tree of minimum total length between n nodes bull In 1987 the algorithm was improved by Tarjan

bull But still not efficient enough for computer available at that time bull In 2005 a challenge organised by Dimacs lead to the modern version of the

algorithm bull The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology did provide several very efficient ones

bull In 2008 Geisberger proposed the ldquo Contraction Hierarchies rdquo algorithm bull Faster and simpler for route calculation used by OSRM

bull In 2012 Daniel Delling from Microsoft Research proposed RAPTOR bull The algorithm is the one used by Navitia

bull In 2013 the ldquoconnection scan algorithmrdquo was released improving Raptor

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

Searching The Fastest Algorithmbull In 1959 Dijkstra published the first algorithm

bull Tree of minimum total length between n nodes bull In 1987 the algorithm was improved by Tarjan

bull But still not efficient enough for computer available at that time bull In 2005 a challenge organised by Dimacs lead to the modern version of the

algorithm bull The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology did provide several very efficient ones

bull In 2008 Geisberger proposed the ldquo Contraction Hierarchies rdquo algorithm bull Faster and simpler for route calculation used by OSRM

bull In 2012 Daniel Delling from Microsoft Research proposed RAPTOR bull The algorithm is the one used by Navitia

bull In 2013 the ldquoconnection scan algorithmrdquo was released improving Raptor

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

Searching The Fastest Algorithmbull In 1959 Dijkstra published the first algorithm

bull Tree of minimum total length between n nodes bull In 1987 the algorithm was improved by Tarjan

bull But still not efficient enough for computer available at that time bull In 2005 a challenge organised by Dimacs lead to the modern version of the

algorithm bull The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology did provide several very efficient ones

bull In 2008 Geisberger proposed the ldquo Contraction Hierarchies rdquo algorithm bull Faster and simpler for route calculation used by OSRM

bull In 2012 Daniel Delling from Microsoft Research proposed RAPTOR bull The algorithm is the one used by Navitia

bull In 2013 the ldquoconnection scan algorithmrdquo was released improving Raptor

Rapid Real-time Routingbull RRRR (usually pronounced R4) is a C-language implementation of the

RAPTOR public transit routing algorithm bull httpsgithubcombliksemlabsrrrr

bull Project from the developers of OpenTripPlanner bull The goal of this project is to generate sets of Pareto-optimal itineraries over large

geographic areas (eg BeNeLux or all of Europe) improving on the resource consumption and complexity of existing more flexible alternatives

bull It is the core routing component of the Bliksem journey planner and passenger information system

bull The system should eventually support real-time vehicletrip updates reflected in trip plans and be capable of running directly on a mobile device with no Internet connection

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

others it has to work with fixed timetable information bull Whatrsquos more that data comes to Moovit in a variety of formats from 2000 transport

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Moovit Wherersquos My Public Transportbull Wants to solve the ldquouncertaintyrdquo that public transit users face

bull Wherersquos my bus right now How do I find the right stop to board it How do I pay when I get on Itrsquos enough to make you want to stick with a car

bull One big challenge that Moovit faces is the sheer variety of different data sources it has to handle bull In some areas there are real-time feeds of bus and train locations available whereas in

others it has to work with fixed timetable information bull Whatrsquos more that data comes to Moovit in a variety of formats from 2000 transport

agencies around the world bull 30 employees (Dec 2013) and already and already 100 metropolitan areas

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Platform What Are We Doing Thatrsquos Bigger Than Us

bull Users are building businesses on the back of the platform and in some cases changing how they operate in order to better serve the platform

bull Establishing a platform in the center of a robust digital ecosystem requires a digital operating model one that is appropriately permeable to third parties that can co-create new value from what a company and others have to offer

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Platform What Are We Doing Thatrsquos Bigger Than Us

bull Platform is one of the most misunderstood ideas in the world of the Digital world bull Platforms can be accidental or intentional

bull A platform is a foundational product that moves beyond product status by encouraging others to build play andor iterate on top of it bull The value and utility of the system is continually being discovered and expanded not just

by the organization but by its users and customers bull Platforms are shared innovation engines that outsource the costly and

uncertain discovery process bull Many platforms today are 100 software but they donrsquot have to be

Platform What Are We Doing Thatrsquos Bigger Than Us

bull Users are building businesses on the back of the platform and in some cases changing how they operate in order to better serve the platform

bull Establishing a platform in the center of a robust digital ecosystem requires a digital operating model one that is appropriately permeable to third parties that can co-create new value from what a company and others have to offer

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Searching The Fastest Algorithmbull In 1959 Dijkstra published the first algorithm

bull Tree of minimum total length between n nodes bull In 1987 the algorithm was improved by Tarjan

bull But still not efficient enough for computer available at that time bull In 2005 a challenge organised by Dimacs lead to the modern version of the

algorithm bull The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology did provide several very efficient ones

bull In 2008 Geisberger proposed the ldquo Contraction Hierarchies rdquo algorithm bull Faster and simpler for route calculation used by OSRM

bull In 2012 Daniel Delling from Microsoft Research proposed RAPTOR bull The algorithm is the one used by Navitia

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Searching The Fastest Algorithmbull In 1959 Dijkstra published the first algorithm

bull Tree of minimum total length between n nodes bull In 1987 the algorithm was improved by Tarjan

bull But still not efficient enough for computer available at that time bull In 2005 a challenge organised by Dimacs lead to the modern version of the

algorithm bull The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology did provide several very efficient ones

bull In 2008 Geisberger proposed the ldquo Contraction Hierarchies rdquo algorithm bull Faster and simpler for route calculation used by OSRM

bull In 2012 Daniel Delling from Microsoft Research proposed RAPTOR bull The algorithm is the one used by Navitia

bull In 2013 the ldquoconnection scan algorithmrdquo was released improving Raptor

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

inspiration from stylized transit maps bull Additionally work has begun on customizing OpenTripPlanner to generate

summaries of transit options bull Rather than emphasizing the details of a specific journey at a specific time of day the

project aims to build features that help people explore and contextualize transport options as a holistic system

bull By showing how key places are connected different transport options may become more easily identified as a logical part of daily routines

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

bull Platform is one of the most misunderstood ideas in the world of the Digital world bull Platforms can be accidental or intentional

bull A platform is a foundational product that moves beyond product status by encouraging others to build play andor iterate on top of it bull The value and utility of the system is continually being discovered and expanded not just

by the organization but by its users and customers bull Platforms are shared innovation engines that outsource the costly and

uncertain discovery process bull Many platforms today are 100 software but they donrsquot have to be

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

bull Platform is one of the most misunderstood ideas in the world of the Digital world bull Platforms can be accidental or intentional

bull A platform is a foundational product that moves beyond product status by encouraging others to build play andor iterate on top of it bull The value and utility of the system is continually being discovered and expanded not just

by the organization but by its users and customers bull Platforms are shared innovation engines that outsource the costly and

uncertain discovery process bull Many platforms today are 100 software but they donrsquot have to be

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Moovit Wherersquos My Public Transportbull Wants to solve the ldquouncertaintyrdquo that public transit users face

bull Wherersquos my bus right now How do I find the right stop to board it How do I pay when I get on Itrsquos enough to make you want to stick with a car

bull One big challenge that Moovit faces is the sheer variety of different data sources it has to handle bull In some areas there are real-time feeds of bus and train locations available whereas in

others it has to work with fixed timetable information bull Whatrsquos more that data comes to Moovit in a variety of formats from 2000 transport

agencies around the world bull 30 employees (Dec 2013) and already and already 100 metropolitan areas

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Source PWC Exploiting the growing value from information 153

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Source PWC Exploiting the growing value from information 153

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

bull Users are building businesses on the back of the platform and in some cases changing how they operate in order to better serve the platform

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Source PWC Exploiting the growing value from information 153

Copyright copy William El Kaim 2015

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

bull A platform is a foundational product that moves beyond product status by encouraging others to build play andor iterate on top of it bull The value and utility of the system is continually being discovered and expanded not just

by the organization but by its users and customers bull Platforms are shared innovation engines that outsource the costly and

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Source PWC Exploiting the growing value from information 153

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Mobility Lab Transit Tech Initiativebull Much of the initial work has been focused on the design and development of

a new transportation visualization package bull Called Transitivejs which visually articulates personalized transportation data drawing

inspiration from stylized transit maps bull Additionally work has begun on customizing OpenTripPlanner to generate

summaries of transit options bull Rather than emphasizing the details of a specific journey at a specific time of day the

project aims to build features that help people explore and contextualize transport options as a holistic system

bull By showing how key places are connected different transport options may become more easily identified as a logical part of daily routines

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Source PWC Exploiting the growing value from information 153

Copyright copy William El Kaim 2015

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

some resources they need when they also add how the response should look like and maybe help build these APIs on top of Open Data

Transport API Britainbull The Transport API has about 600 developers and while initial growth focused

on smartphone apps it is seeing greater uptake among hyperlocal applications offered by larger enterprises

bull Becoming a data aggregator is one approach to commercialization that may suit some developers For Transport API the opportunities to service new markets is continually growing

bull A platform is a foundational product that moves beyond product status by encouraging others to build play andor iterate on top of it bull The value and utility of the system is continually being discovered and expanded not just

by the organization but by its users and customers bull Platforms are shared innovation engines that outsource the costly and

uncertain discovery process bull Many platforms today are 100 software but they donrsquot have to be

Platform What Are We Doing Thatrsquos Bigger Than Us

bull Users are building businesses on the back of the platform and in some cases changing how they operate in order to better serve the platform

bull Establishing a platform in the center of a robust digital ecosystem requires a digital operating model one that is appropriately permeable to third parties that can co-create new value from what a company and others have to offer

Mobility Multimodal amp Door to Doorbull Multimodal is a way to combine metro (subway) train bus bicycle walk or

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

car to go from one place to another bull The other terminology used is door to door in that case you have to add taxi and black

car (car with chauffeur) bull Some important distinctions should be noted when speaking of multimodal

search bull Planning vs Booking some routing includes prices some not bull Routing could be based on actual timetables or only on approximate ones

bull For example some do not use actual timetables (they use information like one train every hour and might then be wrong by up to an hour) most others do

bull Multimodal is emerging mainly due to the high speed train network but also to reduce CO2 emission So they are generally also taken into account as search parameters

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

bull Users are building businesses on the back of the platform and in some cases changing how they operate in order to better serve the platform

bull Establishing a platform in the center of a robust digital ecosystem requires a digital operating model one that is appropriately permeable to third parties that can co-create new value from what a company and others have to offer

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

Platform Ecosystems are created Through APIs

The new digital networked real-time society forces us to start thinking and acting as an ecosystem

Ecosystems are developed using platforms to glue services via API and funds to encourage startups and partners to hook in

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo

Three types of public transport APIs1 The first is created by volunteers who just scrape the data As the API

creators are also reusing them the format and vocabulary for their responses and resources are often custom made for their specific use case bull Examples Swiss Public Transport API Belgium iRail

2 A second type of APIs are the ones created by data owners or the transport companies themselves bull They are set up in order to stimulate reuse for use cases they have in mind The problem

with these APIs is that often there are rate limits it is hard to get through the user agreements they have awkward SOAPXML constructions and they dont follow existing specifications such as SIRI or GTFS-realtimerdquo
