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.
Oise
France
The first PPP in passenger information and mobility management
Challenge
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.
