Future Internet for a Personal Travel Companion Service
The European Commission (EC) funded project Instant Mobility is defining a comprehensive architecture for transport and mobility applications that aim to innovate by introducing future Internet technologies to this domain. A set of core enabling technologies are being developed by other projects in the Future Internet public private partnerships (PPP) such as FI-WARE, while the transport domain Instant Mobility project will use these generic enablers where available, and will develop its own enablers where necessary. In this paper, we describe an Internet-based “multimodal travel platform” that provides information and services able to support new types of connected transport applications. The considered scenario, a “Personal Travel Companion”, is centered on multimodal travellers (both drivers and passengers). Almost all modes of transport are present in this scenario: private car, public transport modes, car sharing, ride sharing, bikes, etc. The project defines requirements for future Internet technology tools and enablers that can support services available to any Internet-connected traveller, whether using a portable, vehicle-based or fixed terminal. Future Internet technologies offer new horizons for transport information systems and propose for travellers a new experience with means of transport. The authors are designing and implementing a prototype for multimodal travel assistance taking advantage of these technologies. A demonstration of the application is planned in the ITS World Congress - Vienna 2012, while the final prototype is due on March 2013.
