Approach to a MaaS Platform

MeetUp Open Transport
24.06.2021
2. Existing MaaS platforms
Limitations
True Multi-Modal services missing (E.g. Public Transport + Personal Car)
Inability of platforms to support and manage multiple data providers and
data formats, One mobility account
Unidirectional data flow
Not modular, expensive to adapt to new technologies, risk of
obsolescence
Little to no value addition for data providers.
Numerous providers of MaaS, mainly business oriented and therefore are
not able to co-exist
Many applications to manage different services, not easy for users

5. 5
Plug and Play Architecture, Swappable software and hardware
Easy to upgrade, low turnaround time
Reduced duration in system development life cycle
Facilitate real-time Intermodal Transport Management
End to End solution offered, Improved Quality of Service to users
Increased flexibility and extensibility of the platform

Next Steps:
• A “Pilot” experiment with service
providers and users to extensively
test this solution
• Onboard data providers and explore
MaaS platform to offer value
addition to its stakeholders
• Build UI’s and enable access to
platform’s modularity, Automate
platform deployment
Challenges:
• Ownership of maintenance (MaaS provider, software provider ?)
• Adoption to such approach at the level of transport authority and to work
together with MaaS provider
• Viable business contracts with data providers
• Sustainable business models shall be worked around such solutions
