Description: This deliverable covers the specifications for the Software as a Service (SaaS) solution for the ExtenSive project. Its goal is to provide access to services to Transport Service Providers (TSPs), which they would not have otherwise. Furthermore, the document analyses the status of the Innovation Programme 4 ecosystem architecture, which was developed within previous Shift2Rail projects, and presents a plan for a SaaS architecture to create a scalable solution that can be easily deployed.
Target audience: Travel Service Providers
How it brings us closer to achieving better rail for Europe: The Extensive “Specification reports” all aim to be the basis of the development of the various corresponding modules. The SaaS architecture aims at giving TSPs access to services such as Trip Tracking, Travel Shopping, Event Detection, Incident Management and Traveller Feedback.

Description: This deliverable is designed to present the activities performed within the ExtenSive project related to giving travellers an overview of the station as well as information about railway station points of interest (POI) and the nearest surrounding. It also includes enhancements of the Travel Companion with the intention to improve voice assistance for travellers when moving at the station or its surrounding and to interact with ticket vending machines. The document contains a description of the Use Cases that were selected and a high-level specification of the future solution. These include navigation around and inside the station in relation to POI, passenger communication with the technology wall, and more.
Target audience: Travel Service Providers
How it brings us closer to achieving better rail for Europe: The Extensive “Specification reports” all aim to be the basis of the development of the various corresponding modules. In this case, it addresses the possible infrastructure enhancements within the stations themselves in order to improve the traveller experience, by providing them guidance and assistance in the station.

Description: This document is designed to present the new Innovation Programme 4 (IP4) Use Cases proposed by the ExtenSive project. The deliverable contains 54 Use Cases (UCs) covering all technical activities within ExtenSive Work Packages (WPs). These Use Cases reflect the project tasks in form of a story between the actors and the IP4 ecosystem. They have been subsequently used to first design the proposed solutions and then to validate that the technical developments were able to fulfil the initially defined goals.
Target audience: All rail stakeholders
How it brings us closer to achieving better rail for Europe: By analysing needs and extracting standardized expected use cases, this document enables the researchers to better design and develop their solution for a greater positive impact on travel by rail.

Description: The deliverable includes the results obtained in the task that aims to describe the evolution of the components of the Interoperability Framework as a complete ecosystem for the last phase of the CONNECTIVE project (Final Release). This F-REL focuses on improving performance and facilitating the integration of services tested with Open Call pilots, presenting the tools and utilities developed for the F-REL based on the improvements identified from the experience of the previous phase known as Additional Release (A-REL). This document includes a description of each component and its main improvements, as a basis for the ExtenSive project specifications.
Target audience: All rail stakeholders
How it brings us closer to achieving better rail for Europe: Thanks to the performance evolution obtained on the most recent version of the Interoperability Framework during the development period of this deliverable it has been possible to carry out satisfactorily and on time the integration of the different transport service operators.
