Bucharest-Ilfov public transport monitoring application, example of good practice in Europe
The Mo-Bi Maps application for real-time monitoring of public transport in the Bucharest-Ilfov region has been included by Interreg Europe among examples of good practice regarding the use of open data and digital tools for urban mobility in the European Union, according to the Bucharest-Ilfov Intercommunity Development Association for Public Transport (TPBI).
'TPBI continues to develop its own digital solutions for improving public transport in the Bucharest-Ilfov region. One such example is Mo-Bi Maps, the interactive mobility map developed internally by TPBI using its own resources and open technologies. The Mo-Bi Maps application has been published on the Interreg Europe platform as an example of good practice in the use of open data and digital tools for urban mobility across the European Union,' the release reads.
According to the source, this European recognition confirms that TPBI develops and implements modern urban mobility solutions based on digitalisation, open data and innovative technologies, directly contributing to increasing the attractiveness of public transport in the Bucharest-Ilfov region.
'Mo-Bi Maps allows users to view on a map the real-time position of buses, trams and trolleybuses in the Bucharest-Ilfov region, track routes, consult information about vehicles and view additional information, including traffic data. This allows passengers to better understand how public transport vehicles are operating and to plan their daily journeys more efficiently,' the document further reads.
The platform is built on open data principles, meaning that information about public transport is made available transparently and can be used free of charge for developing solutions beneficial to the community, according to the quoted source.
At the same time, the application's source code is publicly available so that the way the platform is built can be consulted, verified and reused.
'Through Mo-Bi Maps, TPBI demonstrates that the digitalisation of public transport does not depend exclusively on external solutions and that, using internal resources, data and open technologies, the institution can provide citizens with a practical, transparent and user-friendly tool dedicated to more efficient urban mobility,' the press release also reads.
