eBus Onboard charging advantages: All charging equipment including the pantograph onboard the vehicle. Ready to charge, wherever there is a 2-pole connection to the grid (e.g. tram catenary, trolleybus catenary).

The Travel CO2 Calculator aims to promote climate-friendly travelling modes in Lithuania. It is a web-based tool, integrated into a popular Lithuanian route planner at www.maps.lt/CO2. Whenever a site-visitor is planning a trip, the calculator provides information on travel carbon footprint for the most popular transport modes and highlights sustainable options. Passenger transport is responsible for a significant share of CO2 emissions, which, however, can be highly reduced through our individual choices.
The Digital Road Authority combines different types of traffic data in order to provide the residents of IJburg with personalised travel advice. Residents receive advice through an app, based on appointments in their phone’s calendar, their destination and the current situation at the traffic lights. The Digital Road Authority is not only in contact with departing travellers, but also with the traffic lights. It divides personal ‘travel slots’ based on current and expected traffic density.
The idea addresses personal multi-modal mobility and proposes a system of credits to act, at a certain extent, on personal mobility and, thus, to control urban traffic. In our idea, credits could be earned by people when using a specific bus, an extra-urban parking, as an award for off-loading a congested route, or for sending instantaneous traffic information. On the other hand, credits could be spent as discounts on the transport facilities, or to purchase the possibility to enter a restricted traffic area.
FixMyTransport is a website (with a mobile phone version) developed by mySociety, that allows passengers to report issues on any public transport in the UK: train, bus, underground, tram, or coach. People can report problems online, such as broken ticket machines or buses that always leave early, and mySociety then sends the information provided straight to the correct transport operator or local authority so that action can be taken.

The aim of the Open Mobile Ticketing Alliance is to enable the vision of ‘Register once, travel anywhere’ by developing open, interoperable standards with payment vendors and transit operators.The overall objective of the OMTA is to define and promote an open, standards-based solution for mobile ticketing, based on an alternative and open mobile ticketing solution. The Open Mobile Ticketing Alliance builds on top of open payment systems, replacing cards with a mobile device. This device (usually a mobile phone) is used as an identifier to gain access to the public transport system.
The SMILE Project will develop and test a prototype of what will be - from the user perspective - a pioneering integrated, multi-modal information, booking and payment system, linking individual e-mobility services with those of public transport; characterized by uniform usability and with a consistent guidance system - virtual and on-site. Standardized interfaces will allow and facilitate other mobility provider access to the system.
