1. Introduction to TIDE Cluster 3 activities TIDE Final Conference Barcelona, 15-16 September 2015 Birendra Shrestha Senior Traffic Modeller, Transport for London Visiting Fellow, TRG, University of Southampton, UK

2. TIDE Cluster 3 Advanced network and traffic management to support traveller information - Open access data - User friendly HMI - Advanced public transport priority

3. Cluster cities Reading- Cluster leading city Rome- Champion city Lyon- Champion city

4. Open data for apps based traveller information “Open data is data that can be freely used, re-used and redistributed by anyone – subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and sharealike” (Open data handbook, 2012) Benefits: -Involvement of 3 rd party in information provision -More stakeholders and users -Alternative way of providing traveller information - More opportunities to address individual needs

5. Implementation issues Data fee -Sharing the profits of private apps developers Access regulation -Some degree of control if needed by the authorities providing data to the server Data coverage -The traffic related and static information such as the location of drop kerbs (for wheelchair crossing) etc. Data processing -Improve the quality of the data provided - Cost implication -Raw/processed data, fused data from different sources, provision of tool/apps

6. Review London, Ottawa, Toronto, Vienna, Rome Differences in access regulation - registration (London), assumed agreement (Toronto) Data coverage - extensive sets of data (London), limited real time data (Ottawa) Apps development - In-house and 3 rd party (Rome), 3 rd party (London), Open Data contest’ (Ottawa) Market demand - Bigger city with quality data - Competitions or challenges to develop apps and help develop profiles

7. Transferability analysis (1)Mission statement/objectives and scoping (2)Clarification of the impacts of the measure (3)Identification of up-scaling/down-scaling need (4) Identification of the main components and characteristics (5)Identification of the level of importance of characteristics (6)Assessment of the characteristic in the context of adopter city (7) Conclusions TIDE transferability assessment steps

8. Local Innovation Forum Reading -Participants from public and private sectors in Reading and surrounding areas Rome -Participants included university researchers, local apps developer using Rome’s data and Reading

9. Local Innovation Forum Interaction with stakeholders and input to implementation scenario Universal support for open data access - need to provide some sort of filter for consistency and accuracy Partnership approach between a local authority and app developers - a very positive Some mechanism for authorities to control inappropriate use and feedback Local authorities to manage the development of apps for minority groups (e.g. older people)

10. Outbound visits Rome to Reading -Knowledge exchange with other European cities -Interactions to share experiences in the area -Discussion of implementation issues. Reading to Rome -Interactions and knowledge exchange -Understanding of local context and solutions

11. Lessons learnt Transferable measure to other European cities -Implementation dependent on city context Robust data -good quality data from reliable sources Market demand -City size and its transport network as well as data quality -‘Pump prime’ to initiate Interaction with apps developers -a close co-operation with apps developers
