Imagine trying to book a trip that uses a train, a bus, and a plane, but every company has different rules and data formats. This tool acts like a digital notary and translator that automatically writes the legal agreements between these companies. It ensures everyone shares the right info so you can have one single ticket and a backup plan if a flight is delayed.
Transport providers struggle with manual, slow, and legally complex data-sharing agreements. This prevents the creation of single-ticket journeys and efficient rerouting when delays occur.
An automated contract generator and manager for data sharing, integrated with modules for multimodal synchronization, disruption management, and data standard conversion.
If you are an airport operator dealing with fragmented ground transport data — this project developed a contract generator and synchronization module that optimizes passenger connection times and simplifies legal agreements with local transit providers.
If you are a transport authority dealing with rigid data standards — this project developed a data conversion tool (TransiTool) that makes GTFS and NeTEx data compatible with aviation standards, enabling smoother intermodal rerouting during disruptions.
If you are a travel app provider dealing with complex ticketing across different modes — this project developed a platform that provides enriched routing information and facilitates single-ticketing through automated data sharing agreements.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost structure is mentioned.
Yes, the project aims to move the technology from TRL2 to TRL7, involving 16 partners and piloting with airports and transport authorities to ensure industrial viability.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not provided, but the project focuses on creating regulation-compliant templates for data sharing.
Yes, the platform uses predefined, regulation-compliant templates to automate the drafting and enforcement of Data Sharing Agreements.
The project timeline is from 2023-06-01 to 2026-05-31, with a Minimum Valuable Product developed in the first 12 months.
It uses a data conversion module to ensure interoperability between IATA SSIM, GTFS, and NeTEx standards.
The consortium is highly balanced for commercialization, featuring 16 partners with a 50% industry ratio (8 companies). The presence of 7 SMEs suggests a strong focus on agile development and specialized tech, while the inclusion of airports and transport authorities ensures the tool is tested against real-world operational requirements across 7 different countries.
