1 GALILEO APPLICATION DAYS, BRUSSELS March 3th 5th, 2010 SMART-WAY Galileo based navigation in public transport systems with passenger interaction smart-way.mobi

2 VISION Imagine being in a foreign city, getting on the first tram or bus on your way, and being guided to your destination through the public transport network by your own mobile phone! Despite spontaneous detours you won't get lost in the network. In case of delays or construction works you don t lose orientation. A mobile passenger navigation system realising this vision will be developed in the SMART-WAY project.

3 MOTIVATION Development of mobile applications for Galileo Mobile application can perfect use potential of satellite navigation systems Applications are available already with GPS based satellite navigation systems and widely known The Market for mobile applications is rapidly growing The need of travel assistance in public transport Passengers loosing easily the orientation in unknown pt-networks Breaks in travel chains resulting in new information needs Lowering the costs for real time information services (see next page) Influence of the modal split in favor of the public transport Lowering the barriers for public transport systems trough ITC

4 EXISTING SOLUTIONS SMS: high flying mobile PT service in Dresden Increasing interest for real time information Sole traditional public available push technology is SMS SMS costs are still increasing Transport authority are looking for alternativeness SMS is limited to 160 characters and not interactive Anzahl SM S p.a Entwicklung der Nachfrage Ja h r

6 WHATS NEW SMART-WAY will use the advantages of Galileo to localise passengers within vehicles of public transport networks SMART-WAY has generic interfaces and may be connected to the most data sources (timetable information systems, GIS including map data, real time data of the public transport network etc.) Customers have unrestricted freedom while using the public transportation network, as the extremely flexible navigation adapts to any circumstances or detours the customers might want to take. Users can calculate real-time based tours within the public transport network and the application does automatically inform him/her about relevant conditions (flexible guardian angel). SMART-WAY will grade up today's public transport routing information on mobile phones and will thus establish a fully-fledged public transport navigation system.

7 OBJECTIVES OF SMART-WAY Development of a mobile navigation system for public transport Development of background system Development of low functional early prototype till January 2011 Development of management application Considering the privacy of passengers Implementation of a near-to market mobile application of the navigational system for public transport for innovative smartphones (e.g. iphone or Android ) and in generic mobile Java Understanding of user needs for public transportation navigational systems Evaluation of the proposed system based on demonstrators in Torino and Dresden till end of 2011 Definition of a viable business model for the exploitation of SMART-WAY

8 NAVIGATION IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT NETWORKS Planned trip begins Unexpected event on the route Trip request : initiating navigation using Galileo based passenger positioning Passenger change the vehicle and reaches the goal in time. Galileo based passenger positioning Traffic management center will be informed Destination reached Control center sends modified ride recommendation, based on current location

9 CHALLENGES Using Galileo and GPS to localise passengers within buses and trams in relation to the transport network and the dedicated vehicle Interrupted satellite coverage with changing signal quality must be accepted PT information systems have usually no time penalties for disturbed points Development of an algorithm that decides about detours t3 t1 + penalty t2 t5 t4 option 1: t1 + penalty + t2 option 2: t3 + t4 + t5

10 CHALLENGES Definition of an universal concept Background system (server applications) Management application GIS Interfaces to services GIS Mobile Devices Terminal application Data structures Modularisation

11 SCOPE OF SMART-WAY Heterogeneous Transportation Networks Interconnected and interdependent Networks Mobile network covered areas Geographic Focus are the cities of Torino and Dresden, Results are applicable in PT-networks the expanded EU Stakeholders: transport authorities, governmental transport agencies, traditional navigational system developers (to force the vision of combined application for intermodal traffic navigation and information)
