Integrated System of

Support for MobilityCarlos Pereira – GISMÉDIA (Portugal)

Objectives

• To present a group of initiatives that contribute to sustainable mobility through

the creation of an Integrated System of Support for Mobility:

• Contribute to the sustainability of urban environments and improve citizens quality

of life, complying with the strategic objectives under the "European Transport

Policy - Europe 2020"

• Provide all relevant information about a city’s transportation system, including:

Multimodal Interoperable Geographically Scalable

Platform + Model

TRANSPORLIS – web based multimodal

geographic information system

• This platform + model of approach = main system for collecting and providing public

transportation information

• In 2013, per month: 35.000 unique visitors

50.000visits

TRANSPORLIS – Consortium

Features

Transport modes

Buses, trams, trains, subways,

ferries and more

Points of interest (POI)

Updated through web services

from active providers such as

yellow pages, governmental entities

and communities (users of Open

Street Maps)

Route Results

• Times for departure and arrival

• Number of transfers

• Waiting time between transfers

• CO2 emissions

• Distances

• Interactive map

of transport services, offering

multimodal alternative routes

Widget

• Allows public entities to add

to their websites components

and features of TRANSPORLIS

• Generates HTML code

which can be embedded

into websites

• Each widget added to initiatives

like Rock in Rio website,

almost doubled the daily users

of TRANSPORLIS:

INPUTS

The road network,

public transport network

and parameters defined

by the user, such as:

Origin and Destination:

• On the map

• Streets

• Points of Interest

Timetables of Departure

and Arrival

Preferred Modes of

Transport

Route types:

• Least transfers

• Least Walking

• Fastest

OUTPUTS

Future Developments

Pilots

• TRANSPORLIS served as the basis

for various pilot projects, such as

the e-Mobility project funded by the EC

INTERREG IIIC program, improving mobility

in Genoa (Italy), Valencia (Spain)

and Lisbon (Portugal)

• The latest innovations that result of these

pilots are implemented in TRANSPORLIS

Real time Information

By connecting to systems of the public

transport operators will provide

TRANSPORLIS with real time information

on arrival at stops and stopping points,

complementing with available historical

and estimated data for route calculations.Real time information

Pilot

Future Developments

Ticketing

• To allow the calculation of the best fare

for a trip taking into account passenger

preferences such as how often he wants

to make it

• This module will allow ticketing

for the complete trip

Geographic expansion

• Currently with the cooperation of the

Portuguese Institute of Mobility and Transports

(IMT), there's already work in progress to

expand TRANSPORLIS to a national level.

• Our aim is to find similar partners and

consortiums from other countries in order

to offer users an international Integrated

System of Support for Mobility

Conclusions

It’s our belief that the presented system

and model of approach:

• Contributes to the promotion of public

transportation

• Improves the efficiency of the local,

national and international transportation

system (promotion of multimodal

operation networks)

• Contributes to achieve strategic

objectives such as those under

the "European Transport Policy –

Europe 2020" (namely reducing

congestion, preventing incidents,

safeguarding the environment, etc.)
