Mobility as a Service (MaaS)

Combining Different Modes of Transport to Intermodal Travel Chains

Establishing Mobility as a Service (MaaS) – this is what Siemens Mobility, Hacon, eos.uptrade and Bytemark are working on together. Based on our Mobility Marketplace, a flexible and secure MaaS platform, a wide variety of data and interfaces are integrated into one comprehensive trip planner. Whether native app or web browser – many of our applications already incorporate much more than just bus and rail data of a single operator or transport association.

Our Mobility Marketplace allows combining different modes of transport to intermodal travel chains including public and private transport, demand-responsive services (DRT), road traffic information, carsharing providers, taxi, bike and pedestrian routing. Its task is to suggest the smartest combination of different options. Automatic best-price calculation at the end of the trip guarantees utmost flexibility and comfort across all transport modes, beyond tariff zones.

Hacon Standard xSharing Interface

One Interface for all Cases of Data Exchange

Integrating Demand Responsive Transport (DRT), park & ride options, e-vehicle charging stations or other third-party services into trip planners is a great opportunity for public transport providers. However, harmonizing the variety of different data and data formats in the new mobility landscape is also a big challenge. Our xSharing interface takes it up!

MinRejseplan

DRT Integration in Denmark

In the countryside, where the school bus is often the only available option, it is even more important to ensure mobility by providing residents with flexible auxiliary services. Under the lead of Denmark‘s national trip planner Rejseplanen and in cooperation with Nordjyllands Trafikselskab (NT), we have developed the new multimodal app MinRejseplan which integrates Flextrafik‘s DRT services, taxis as well as carpooling. This ensures that, even in the rural areas of North Denmark, mobility is possible – independent of private car ownership.

ZüriMobil

One step towards Smart City

With ZüriMobil, the city of Zurich launched a multimodal app in summer 2020: Whether with public transport, car and bike sharing, e-scooters, or on footpaths and cycle routes – ZüriMobil lets you enjoy sustainable travel in beautiful Zurich. The app’s digital infrastructure allows a continuous integration of additional offers that support mobility in Zurich in a meaningful way. All mobility service providers in the urban region will be granted access to the app.

Next-Generation Ticketing

Check-in/Check-out, Check-in/Be-out & Be-in/Be-out

Seamless trip planning across a variety of transport modes and always the right ticket at hand – travel will become even more convenient in the future. Intermodal travel, however, also holds certain challenges for the passengers, for instance in the physical transition from one mode to another or in buying various electronic tickets. This is where our new smartphone-based ticketing options come into play: Check-in/Check-out (CiCo), Check-in/Be-out (CiBo) and Be-in/Be-out (BiBo) enhance the passenger experience!

Demand Responsive Transport

Convenient booking of DRT services

Demand Responsive Transport, DRT in short, could become a game changer for public transport. Operators are complementing their services with demand-responsive offers that help passengers to cover, for example, the first and last mile of their trips.They are an important link within intermodal transport chains which build the core of Mobility as a Service. The success of on-demand traffic is experiencing a major boost – especially due to digitalization in the booking and payment process. Mobility apps already offer the convenient booking of DRT services with just a simple click.
