Oise

France

The first PPP in passenger information and mobility management

Challenge

Mobility services in the Oise region were, until recently, fragmented and difficult for passengers to navigate. In 2006, the creation of a common representative public transport body (SMTCO) marked a major step in removing administrative barriers to increasing intermodality. 2010 was the start of a coordinated and interactive central platform for all mobility actors and passengers to simplify the passenger experience, instill sustainable mobility and provide a data backbone to authorities to improve public transportation analysis and provision.

Objectives

  • Design, install, maintain and manage the entire data and information ecosystem related to public transportation in the region - including integrated ticketing.
  • Facilitate passenger access to real-time information and services through their preferred channels.
  • Provide transit authorities with an analysis and planning tool to adapt and improve mobility services.

Results:
• Technology & innovation prize winner, UITP World Congress & exhibition, 2011
• ITS innovation winner, "Transports Publics", 2010

Veolia Transdev's solution

Veolia Transdev subsidiary, Cityway, and its partner VIX Technology were awarded this innovative Public-Private Partnership project for providing an integrated solution around three key axes:

Multichannel

  • A single portal, Oise Mobilité, provides complete information and intelligent trip planners through the Internet, mobile internet and smartphone applications.
  • NFC tags, 2D flashcodes and SMS services indicate arrival times and disruptions straight to mobile handsets at 3,000 stops.
  • A single virtual customer care center responds to over 400 requests a day including reservations for on-demand transportation.

Multimodal

  • A single, integrated ticketing system regardless of fare tariff or transportation operator.
  • Real-time information panels at five key transithubs and six rail stations provide coordinated updates on all connecting services.
  • Nearly 700 vehicles equipped with real-time visual and audio information.
  • An intelligent trip planner that integrates walking, cycling, on-demand and car-pooling and calculates CO2 emissions of chosen route.
  • Satellite tracking of regular-line services allows operational staff to ensure connections and inform the passenger in case of disruption.

Multiservice

For passengers:

  • personalized SMS alerts and communications management,
  • online ticket sales and payments,
  • integrated car-pooling service and, in the near-future, taxi reservations.

For authorities:

  • a "Mobility Observatory" giving transparent and accessible reporting of transportation use, performance and passenger validations per tariff segments,
  • cost analysis and modeling according to real and projected passenger flows,
  • passenger counting.
