DOWNLOAD HERE

Description: This deliverable collects the available information about the services provided by the IP4MaaS project that can be integrated in the Shift2Rail Innovation Programme 4 ecosystem. The deliverable provides:

• a list of the relevant functions available in the Shift2Rail ecosystem, as communicated by Call For Member (CFM) project partners;
• an analysis of the web services available in each of the six demo sites of the IPMaaS project (Barcelona, Padua, Athens, Osijek, Liberec and Warsaw) that can be integrated in the functions of the S2R ecosystem;
• a description of the information stored for each of the surveyed services in the Shift2Rail Asset Manager.

Target audience: Transport Service Providers, CFM project partners & Researchers

How it brings us closer to achieving better rail for Europe: The information described in the deliverable provides the basis for the integration of services in a common ecosystem, and in particular the one developed by Shift2Rail. The integration of services in a common ecosystem, in turn, paves the way to the creation of a system that allows passengers to seamlessly access transportation services across Europe.

Detailed plan for preparing and executing the final release phase of the IP4MaaS demonstrations

DOWNLOAD HERE

Description: This deliverable provides a detailed plan for preparing and executing the F-REL phase of the demonstrations. The demonstration execution and technology integration plan has been updated to reflect changes in requirements for demonstration or amend issues with demonstrations. It provides an updated holistic plan, containing all vital information of every aspect of the execution planning, for all six demonstration sites.

Target audience: Europe’s Rail Joint Undertaking, IP4MaaS work package 5 leaders, Transport Service Providers, technical partners, committees of the project, researchers

How it brings us closer to achieving better rail for Europe: Efficient and elaborate planning assists in the successful execution of the demonstration. It is a vital part of the IP4MaaS project, which  aims to analyse and test technologies developed under the Innovation Programme 4 of the Shift2Rail Joint Undertaking. This endeavour has the goal to ultimately advance the uptake of Mobility as a Service and thus add value and contribute to the digital ecosystem for door-to door travel in a seamless, multimodal and European-wide transport system, which is based on railways.

User engagement strategy for each IP4MaaS demonstrator

DOWNLOAD HERE

Description: This deliverable aims to introduce the strategy to engage the Transport Service Providers and travelers to fulfill the methodological and technical requirements considering the following points:

• test the Travel Companion (TC) developed by CFMs;
• filling out the USI questionnaire to evaluate the added value to the IP4 Solution offer dedicated to 6 demo sites;
• representing the sample size to achieve a 95% of confidence level in each demo site.

Target audience:  Transport Service Providers

How it brings us closer to achieving better rail for Europe: Defining an effective strategy to make the Travel Companion (TC) app helpful, and understanding the Transport Service Providers and travelers’ needs and expectations could have great potential to make the rail industry more attractive.
