Do we still need our own car? What will our cityscape look like in 20 years? What needs do rural regions have? Which clever minds in the industry think mobility and how? And what do on-demand services and mobility analytics have to do with all this? Questions that we ask ourselves every day in our work and to which we – at least now and then – note our answers and thoughts. For you, for us, for exciting impulses, for more mobility and less traffic.
What is the difference between dial-a-ride services and public transport taxis?
Flexible mobility solutions, such as demand-responsive transport (DRT), are becoming increasingly important – particularly in areas where traditional scheduled bus services are not financially viable. Two terms often used in the context of DRT are “dial-a-ride” and “public transport taxi”. But what exactly distinguishes these services?
Connected mobility through mobility hubs: Stuttgart’s vision for the future
“How can we holistically shape the future of mobility in Stuttgart?” The state capital Stuttgart is addressing this question by planning an interconnected network of mobility hubs. The goal is to drive forward the mobility transition, contribute to climate protection, and improve the quality of life for residents.
Perspectives from the model region Saarland
How can public transport be made fit for the future? In the model region of Saarland, innovative mobility solutions are being tested for this very purpose. With their data-driven analysis, the Mobility Analytics and Consulting team from ioki has provided crucial input to drive forward sustainable and practical concepts. Still have questions about the model region? We do too. That’s why we have asked them here:
Flexible Forms of Operation in Public Transport: From Classic Routes to Flexible On-Demand Models
On-demand services complement and optimise public transport: without timetables, digitally controlled, and perfectly tailored to demand. They offer flexible mobility for both urban and rural areas while promoting a more environmentally friendly future for public transport.
What is line-based DRT?
Line-based demand-responsive transport (DRT) combines the benefits of traditional scheduled services with the flexibility of on-demand transport. Unlike conventional bus services with fixed schedules and stops, this type of service adapts to passenger demand.
Unlock effective transport planning with ioki Plan: data-driven analysis made easy
In transport planning, a thorough public transport (PT) analysis is essential to identify gaps in coverage and improve accessibility. This is where our latest product innovation comes in: ioki Plan.
What is GTFS-Flex?
GTFS stands for General Transit Feed Specification and is an open data standard. Transport companies around the world use this standard to provide their traffic data on routes, timetables, tariffs, but also real-time information. This allows passengers to see if a bus is delayed and is not limited to a local app when searching for a public transport connection.
