On stage for the first time: ioki insights live – moving mobility together

On 11 April 2024, we opened our doors to more than 50 customers. ioki insights – a regular webinar and information series for existing customers, as well as other formats – live and in colour for the first time. Mobility experts from all over Germany travelled to the event to gain first-hand impressions of the ioki product world as well as insights into on-demand transport and new mobility. Of course, there was also plenty of opportunity for networking and dialogue.

Perspectives from Henrik Umnus

The recently announced partnership between ioki and Vesputi promises innovations in the field of mobility services. Passengers can now buy their tickets directly in the on-demand apps from ioki. But what does this actually look like in reality? We spoke to Henrik Umnus, Managing Director of the Verkehrsbetrieb Greifswald GmbH. A year ago, the on-demand service “Friedrich” took to the streets of Greifswald and has been transporting passengers without a fixed timetable ever since. Now passengers can book their public transport tickets directly in the on-demand app. Have fun reading!

What is… New Mobility?

What is… New Mobility?

“New Mobility” is often referred to as “smart mobility” and is a collective term for many innovations relating to technology and mobility. These new mobility services combine digitalisation with traditional mobility and use the advantages of the internet. New mobility services include bike sharing, demand-responsive transport, ride hailing and smart parking.

Off to new places: ioki creates first tourism mobility analysis

The focus of mobility analyses by ioki is the development of individual and customised recommendations. The result: integrated transport planning, a forward-looking mobility mix and optimised public transport services. What previously focussed mainly on everyday mobility has now been extended to include tourist mobility.

Senior-friendly public transport: What should age-appropriate public transport look like?

Senior-friendly public transport: What should age-appropriate public transport look like?

Europe’s population is ageing. in 2019, more than a fifth (20.3 per cent) of the EU-27 population was at least 65 years old. And the trend is still rising. Demographic change is a challenge for public transport, but it can also be an opportunity for growth with a customised mobility offer for senior citizens. After all, if older people no longer drive, they are increasingly dependent on public transport in order to continue to actively participate in social life.

Navigation on the bus: How does the bus know where to go? ioki Route App

Anyone who has ever been in a foreign city, or who wants to get from A to B quickly in their own hometown, knows this: Just open a navigation app like Google Maps or Apple Maps, enter your starting point and destination, and off you go. If a road or footpath is closed, the apps will show you alternative routes. This is not so easy on a public bus, where you have to think about the dimensions of the bus and the stops, as well as the passengers. But how does it work on a scheduled bus route? How do the drivers know where the bus is going and, above all, what happens when roadworks block the regular route?
