SMART-WAY

A FP7 GNSS Success Story in LBS

Let your Smartphone guide you through the transport jungle WORKSHOP: European GNSS Applications in H2020 FP7 results and future funding opportunities in H2020

SMART-WAY – an awarded European navigation

 Participation of eight European organizations from five EC member states (Three of them from Germany)  Developed within 24 month in an EC- funded research project  Budget of ~ 2.4 million Euros  Addressing medium to large cities with complex transport networks  Pilotings in Dresden, Germany and Turin, Italy, implemented in practice in 2012 Praha, 04 th February 2014

Sounds familiar?

START:

Praha hlavní nádraží Will I arrive in time?

Where I have to change?

When I have to leave?

Bus? Train? Tram? Metro?

When I have to leave?

Where is the next stop?

Where am I?

Which kind of transport I‘m able to use?

DESTINATION:

Praha Technická Where I have to go?

Idea

Spontaneous access Start Get off at POI Alternative route Disturbance on the route Destination

Imagine

being in a foreign city, getting on the first tram or bus on your way, and being guided to your destination through the public transport network – by your own Smartphone !

Praha, 04 th February 2014

Technical Facts

       Suitable for mobile platform Android Interface for text messages maps GPS, WAAS, EGNOS, (Galileo)… Real time data Motion Detection Improves the monitoring of the navigation process by detecting typical motion patterns  Walking  Sitting / Standing  Speedup / Slowdown of vehicles Praha, 04 th February 2014

How does it work?

    User finds an adequate route by entering a starting point or using current location Navigation process starts, important points (interchanges, exit stops) are signalized by vibration Unrestricted freedom of the user to interrupt the trip, new route is calculated Up-to-date information of delays, early arrivals and disturbances Praha, 04 th February 2014

Advantages

 Travelers       Free choice of mode of transportation Spontaneous access to vehicles Never get lost Lowering barriers to use public transport modes Continuously and increasing app usage after roll out Positive feedback and interaction by piloting users  Transport authorities    Address car drivers and shift modal shift towards pt Higher satisfaction of travelers and lowering barriers to use pt Independent of global players (google), individually adaptable to every pt-operator Praha, 04 th February 2014

Successes so far Awarded as GHTC 2012

The award ceremony on 5 March in Delhi, India, where Dr. Matthias J. Hack, German Federal Ministry of Education and Research handed over the award Praha, 04 th February 2014

Successes so far

   Continuously and increasing app usage after roll out Technology shortly before break through to Europe Positive feedback and inter action by piloting users Praha, 04 th February 2014

Prospects

Praha, 04 th February 2014

Prospects

 Fraunhofer IVI and TAF are interested to continue the lighthouse-project successfully with attention to establish an european uniform LBS-solution for pt-operators (including long distance traffic)  collaboration with the Czech Ministry of Transport and other countries/authorities to implement SMART-Way in large urban networks e.g. in Czech  Complete integration of Indoor- and WIFI-Location, iBEACON  Smart-Way is open for integration into existing applications Praha, 04 th February 2014

Next intended activities

   Integration of e-ticketing  Integration in existing navigation) application and bridging to other transport modes   Operation in Germany International activities Expand Smart-Way to iOS platform Implementation in European wide dimension within the easy.GO App Praha, 04 th February 2014

Next intended activities: way to intermodality

 Car navigation app, which is used in directory services, such as Yellow – and White Pages  Available on all major platforms (iOS, Android BlackBerry, etc.)  maps available for Germany, Austria, Swiss , Western Europe  Customized adjustments possible  API third-party applications integration via API Praha, 04 th February 2014
