HoPE

The main purpose of HoPE is to advance the role of public transportation systems through an open platform capable of combining Interoperable Fare Management (IFM) and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). The overall platform is intended to be user oriented and user centric, in a way that will foster and promote user awareness and consciousness about public transports and eco-mobility, other than providing for a significant mix of services including info-mobility, trip planning, ticket reservation, fare calculation and mobile payments. The fruition model of the HoPE platform will be primarily based upon mobile devices and is intended to complement and enhance pre-existing information and payment systems by adding useful forecasts about partial/overall journey time and partial/overall greenhouse gas emissions (in addition to fare calculation and mobile payments). Smart Ticketing features will implement secure payment procedures exploiting different technologies (NFC, QR codes, etc.) and will seamlessly support the entire buying process, as well as the ticket validation. The HoPE platform will be piloted and tested at three European cities and will be applied to a wide set of local and regional transport means (buses, undergrounds, railway lines, car-sharing, bike sharing, etc.).
