The future of digital mobility in South Tyrol (thanks to the Open Data Hub)
In the past years, significant improvements have been carried out in order to improve the level of digitalization of public transport in South Tyrol. A new standard architecture has been deployed with the EU project Bingo, and allows to collect and distribute high-quality static and real-time data about public transportation service. A new ticketing and intermodal transport control system (ITCS) are at the end of a complex migration phase, and will allow unprecedented possibilities to offer public transportation "as-a-servce". The next years will be characterized by a further evolution of this digital architecture. On one side, thanks to the new EU project MAGO it will be extended so to allow the integration of other mobility services, putting the technological conditions to enable the dream of mobility-as-a-service. On the other side, a new mobility management center is going to be introduced with the EU project MMCS so to allow a joint, more efficient control not only of car traffic, but also of the overall execution of mobility services. From a technological point of view, both projects will be heavily based on the Open Data Hub as an enabling platform that can open up data silos and allow a more efficient usage and distribution of the data by the new system components that will be deployed.
