Periodic Reporting for period 2 - ExtenSive (Extending the attractiveness of transport for end user and extending IP4 to SaaS solutions.)
Período documentado: 2022-01-01 hasta 2022-12-31
Today, there is a succession of applications that allow you to book and buy part of your European intermodal journey. But none of them already available on the market offers a unique and complete solution. The ambition of our project, a one-stop shop application across Europe. To improve and finalize the components and functionalities of IP4, ensuring compatibility with MaaS approaches
In the same way, the operators each have an API solution and do not have the desire or the budget to centralize multiple operators.
Our solution aims to have a platform that allows different operators to join the ecosystem to manage their subscriptions and tariffs while ensuring a multimodal solution.
To improve the Traveller Experience by exploiting new technologies to provide better services and to optimize the user interface. Offer new functionalities based on intelligent assistance to help the travellers such as orchestration within mixed reality interactions as well as facilitating seamless validation in multimodal trips. To ensure collaboration with IP2 in particular architecture for CCS and interoperability of solutions must be ensured across IP4/CCA activities as well as with IP3. To enhance the information displayed to the TSPs by providing new functionalities allowing to monitor and react to events coming from event sources or travellers.

ExtenSive partners started the project with the specification phases. The first part of the work carried out during the first period served to highlight the outputs of previous projects, in particular Maasive, in order to use them as a starting point for the project's functionality specifications. The first period, we focused on the specification of the SaaS architecture that will ensure easy and scalable integration of TSPs. A status quo analysis of the current architecture was done, to identify suited services for the SaaS platform to be developed in the next period
TD4.2 TD4.4 and TD4.5 were tackled during this second period to complete the work started during the previous projects. The Trip tracking the booking ticketing and even the travel companion were updated to ensure compatibility with MaaS approaches. New developments like map interfaces SaaS collaborative space.
Additional to the work foreseen according to the GA of ExtenSive this project took over some work from MaaSive to continue the improvement and the maturity of TRL Functions effected are:
• CMMP
• Token Generator
• CRM
• Mobility Packages Orchestrator and Engine
• MUC
• Handling of Events
• Cloud Wallet
• Travel Companion Web
Within this period a first implementation phase was carried out to provide the first prototype of the SaaS solution on base of Kubernetes platform.
A first prototype for a TSP has been developed to execute some tests.
During this period a several releases of the travel companion Personal Application was carried out.
New solutions like the map interface, the collaborative space, the orchestration and supervision tool the mixed reality experiences and editor were implemented and tested during several event.
The implementation of the collaborative space and the orchestration and supervision tool was performed and almost finalised during this period. These two functions were tested and demonstrated in the several dissemination events of the project.
Collaboration meeting were set up between IP2 and ExtenSive project. The exchanges continued with the LinX4Rail project mainly about the CDM details definition and the integration of the model into the Wiki as CRM and into tool-chain
A collaboration between ExtenSive and In2Stempo took place during the first period and partly during this period.
The modification of the station interrupted the collaboration. However, the team involved in the IP3 is actively participating to the meetings and work of ExtenSive to ensure the exchanges of information and take the advantage from the work achieved in IP3.
A first phase of implementations was done during this period and the implementation of the collaborative space portal in WP4 was completed. Information Messages handling has been implemented to be treated in a partial Trip Tracker.
In this period, we complemented the initial analysis produced in the first phase and we provided a first draft version of the deployment of a large and distributed solution that enable European roaming, thereby achieving efficient and functional mobility across Europe. The world started on the analysis of the GDPR failures was achieved and the first business study was carried out.

This second period was dedicated to the implementation of the first release.
A map interface enabling the smart display of stops and POIs was developed, a supervision tool was realized that can be used to send messages to users of the TC PA, and the registration of an account for the TC Web Client was simplified. Furthermore, a new payment method was integrated, the Collaborative space portal was implemented that allows TSPs to create and manage events and the CMMP was enhanced. In regard to travel shopping, bike and car were integrated to cover the first mile.
The next period will perform the finalisation of all the developments and their final test to be released in March 2023. Subclusters will be implemented to master the variety of trip options and their presentation to the user. Logging in to the TC PA will be simplified by supporting authentication via fingerprint. In regard to travel shopping, rental car trips will be linked to public transportation where public transportation will be used for first and last mile enabling greater mobility options that are as environmental-friendly as possible. A blockchain approach will increase security for contract parties offering a mobility solution that comprises two or more TSPs. A Software-as-a-Service approach will enable small TSPs to benefit from digital services. Optimization approaches will be implemented to handle disruptions and crowds of travellers. Another development will navigate travellers through a station area.
Some of the implementations foster the communication between TSP and traveller where the implementations exploit opportunities resulting from digitalization.
In regard to cooperation between IP4 and IP2, a conceptual data model (CDM) was defined and included in the WikiCDM project on a specification level.
The GDPR study was completed and will be submitted as part of a deliverable in the next period. The final release of a large and distributed solution that enable European roaming was worked on and will be finished in the next period.
