Flexible Software Support for Mobility Services

Abstract

Demographic change and growing urbanization are essential reasons for the increasing demand for mobility in rural areas in Germany. Municipalities in sparsely populated counties are confronted with the problem of providing a basic supply of public mobility services. Especially for rural areas, established public transport means have to be complemented by additional, new, and innovative mobility services. NEMo (Sustainable satisfaction of mobility demands in rural regions) pursues the development of sustainable and innovative mobility services based on tailored business models for rural areas. Traveler information systems are enhanced to handle a range of active and passive mobility services in a very flexible way. Within this paper, three flexible cases are demonstrated. The SENSEI framework for software evolution provides improved software support by adding and modifying capabilities of the existing services to re-orchestrate and re-implement mobility services.
