Description:

The concept of multimodal transport has recently attracted much interest. It is user-oriented, i.e. the passenger planning his trip. To properly plan and prepare a mobility offer, it is necessary to know the mobile behaviour of travellers or their changes. Both the travel history and communication preferences of passengers can contribute to the design of a mobility distribution model in which various modes of transport offered by different operators are integrated into one service provided within one digital platform. The study aims to present the concept of multimodal travel and show the added value for the traveller: the synergy of combining ticket purchase and payment channels and a wide range of transport options. The authors highlight two key public transport data exchange standards: Open Journey Planner (OJP) and General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS). Their goal is to improve the quality of public transport services and provide travellers with better access to information. The article was developed as part of the Network Management Planning and Control & Mobility Management in a Multimodal Environment and Digital Enablers project – an acronym of the MOTIONAL project – implemented by the Research and Development Ecosystem created at PKP S.A. The article's content is part of the WP20 work package Development: Integration of Railways with other means of transport. In particular, it refers to Task 20.1, Improving railway integration using B2B intermodal services, which includes Subtask 20.1.1, Providing MaaS platforms for B2B intermodal services.
